fl327 Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 man what a blast!! now i know why the msa show always has this karting event, its so frekin fun. went to speedring in santa clara, 16 of my buddies and i went and raced the sprint, 30minutes of lap time. it was nuts, since more than half the field was my boys and we were all going heads up. we were all going for the drifts and all that stuff man, i got caught slippin a bunch of times and got bumped out of turns, bumped a few people out of turns, came in tighter than the next man and slid in under him/her on a sharp one and bumped em on the way out, it was pretty cool, and very tiring. now i have all these random bruises on my ankle and shoulder, i know a few are from hitting other cars, and some are just plain mysterious. anyways it was great, were going back next week for sure!!!

BayAreaZT Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 That place is a blast. I like taking that last turn flat out onto the front straight. It is surprising how much of a cardio workout you get tossing those karts around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinCA Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 That looks like alot of fun... We should set-up a hybridz karting session or something... everyone throw in and we rent the track... just a thought. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted June 20, 2003 Author Share Posted June 20, 2003 if we could get 5k together, they will let you run a 24hour leman session and throw a party sleepover deal in there!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinCA Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 how many people would have to throw in? like... 28? 14 karts out at a time, 2 drivers per kart? 12 hours run time: $178.51 if you had 56 people total, 4 drivers per kart, you could run 6 hours for $89.29 or something like that.

BayAreaZT Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 With 14 teams of 3 it would be $119 per person. Make it an even $150 and put the extra towards prize money. Thats a pretty good deal for 8 hours driving time per person. I wonder how refueling would be handled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinCA Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 that would be cool... we could have a driver change every hour. fuel as needed. everyone gets 8 hours of run time, and time to rest between... And around $1300 in prize money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icice9 Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 im down to race!!!! now we can have our rematch dale!!! hahahaha its like our very own trial mountain.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinCA Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 We could either run a team setup, or individual. where the top 3 people with the fastest average lap times win. 1300 / 3 = 433.. or $900 for first, $200 for second and third. (if the race were judged by average lap times...) I know I'm in though, prize or no prize ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted June 21, 2003 Author Share Posted June 21, 2003 yeah, the price isnt bad considering i was out of commission after one 30 minute session. would be fun, anyways we are going back next week for more racing, ill clall up dale the day we go, maybe we can set something up, remember, rubbing is racing!
