    I'm planning on attending but probably not drive. Although I'd love it, I'm pretty sure they don't have a John Deere class for my fat ass.

    I probably run the grill or something.

    I desperately want to do this. Last time was a blast - I was so focused that I forgot to pit a couple of times:(

    Team Forza is going to need an alternate in case I can't make it. I will pay the fees.

    It wasn't a joke but now I've been assigned a commitment in Manhattan at PS18. So the answer to your question becomes...Sorry, I can't make it. You have no idea how upsetting this is.

    Team Forza took pole position in the rain! We ended up 3rd in class and 8th over all out of 27 teams! The intermittent rain and the level of competition made things huge fun. It was nice to see other Connecticut Gatherers there along with other FChat members. We all had a blast.

    Next year forum members should do their best to get teams together and come out in force. The track is fast and exciting and the most fun you can have for very little money! It is also for a very good cause.

    If anyone was there and took any pictures please post them. We were one man down when we got there and we were just to busy to take pictures.

    Team Pitbull finish 13 of 27. Not bad for a bunch of rookies. I was following Peter in my last session for about ten laps. Made me feel good that I was able to keep the pace.

    So Much Fun! Hope to see more familiar faces next time.
    13th out of 27 and 5th overall in class wasn't what we dreamed of, but was a h*ll of alot of fun getting. We started 4th from pole. The computer tracking system of each cart was awsome, real time per lap readings. Next time we can do much better if we keep the cart facing in the right direction.hahaha

    With the wet morning and then the over cast afternoon, we had a taste of driving the slick stuff which felt a little like ice at times, and then dry later with speed..awsome awsome awsome.

    The crew running the show was great. Nice people with a sense of humor that made for a perfect day, rain or shine.

    I can not wait to do this again!

    I sent an email to Endurance Karting asking them for pictures. We'll see what they have. I was hoping others here took some, we did not have time.

    Team Pit Bull was #27. If you can't see the number plates look for the kart going backwards.
