Quote: id like to setup the go-kart thing.

can anyone commit to a day yet?
sometime this week?
tuesday, wednesday, or thursday seem like the best days!
If it's a weekday, it'll have to be in the evening for me. Otherwise, I wish you guys all a great time without me!

sorry, i forgot to mention that.
it would definitely be in the evening. dinner time or later.
the super sprints and the enduro races are at night time anyways and those would be more preferable to join.
i dont mind slacking off on a sunny day to do a real drive but definitely not for go karts!
hehe

for the enduro we can split up into groups of 2 or 3 that can share the cost of $75 and also the 1 hour driving time.
you are required to pit in at least 2 times during the race and that gives u the perfect opportunity to switch drivers.
u also get more time to heat up the tires for more grip and better lap times.
1 hour of karting can be quite tiring if u do it solo, and you would probably have to go for a massage after! :P

well unless we do our own private booking its going to be first come first serve for the super sprint or enduro events and also for regular races when those events are not being held.

i think to make it easier we should just meet up somewhere and cruise to the go kart track early then get a spot.

i believe they allow around 12 karts on the track at the same time. so for regular events or super sprint i guess that would be a good number of people. that way we can all race at the same time and the extra people will not have to sit around waiting.
if we hit the enduro then we can have more than 12 people (or less) since we can split into teams.

we should just show up early for enduro or super sprint so that we can make sure we get a spot.

Okay, that sounds great, T. It shouldn't be difficult getting the group together for this. Only question that remains is which day is the most suitable.

Okay, I'm not even going to ask why you need two helmets for go-karting.
