FOC's Chicago Indoor Racing 3/21/09-PICTURES

yep

 

goddamit I missed it again !!

 

Gary, your 599 is definitely a 'stunner'!

Good to see you yesterday Richard; wish I could have been at the event.

 

Skip, that 599 is Pete's (Speed Racer), not mine. But I agree with you that it's a stunner.

 

Oops!

 

Thats okay! When you have two gorgeous 599's to choose from. Which one do you pick? Black is indeed beautiful! Hope to see both you guys at the CAS track event in May. I'm glad Dan got to take some pictures. I've never posted any to date. Computers and me just don't seem to get along.

 

Ditto here. I'm more familiar with an Abacus than I am with a puter'!

Anyhow, beautiful car Pete.

 

Should I take it personally that I had no idea this event was happening?

WTF?

 

An email invitation was sent out to all FOC members.

 

So, according to the Flickr page, it was FOC and some non FOC members.
As a guy who has been a FOC member in the past, and has hosted a FOC event at his house... guess I don't qualify (but I did last year).
Thought about rejoining.... but no thanks.

 

Mikey, calm down. I'm an officer in the FOC, and half of the time, I don't even know what's going on!

C'mon now, I'm sure what ever happened was an oversight. I'm sure you weren't omitted purposely.

P.S. I didn't get a personal email invite either, as well as I can recall.

 

They have a CIR here in Addison just down the street from my house

 

We'll be there in October. No date yet.

 

So, what's the story with the medals? Pretty cool. Looks like a good time, per usual. I swear I'll be back one of these days!

 

I can't believe I missed this!

I have to get back into the Fchat community. I need to get my car out and join you guys in your outings now that the weather is getting better. I've been hibernating far too long

 

The medals are replicas of the ones handed out to the Olympians at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. With the differnce, that on the back, instead of "Track and Field" they have "Karting".

I thought it would be fun given that we're a trying to get the 2016 Olympics and also because Bernie keeps proposing to have Olympic medals for the top three in F1.

We advertize these events on the FOC website, so keep an eye out for it.

As mentioned below, we will have another gokart race in October. Hopefully more folks will join us then.
