Seems like there are a lot of IL members on this forum...
Go kart anyone? Small gathering or perhaps plan a trip to a drag strip?

I'd do Carting, being on the larger side I'd prefer the Drag strip. But I'm up for most anything.

I actually checked out ur friend's garage 2 weeks ago when I was down there for one lap of america..

What's the price range for kart / driving session? Can we get some "friend" discount too?

I like the look of that however I'm thinking that it may be cost prohibitive. We can have a fun night of drag racing for less than $50. I doubt we would get anything for less than $500 at the AutoBahn.
