    OK, how does Thursday evening at 8pm sound for everyone? I promise, it will be cheaper this time. That's Thursday, August 5th, at 8pm.

    Rich, you coming? Ben, how many in your posse? Who else?

    Please let me know--I only need 7 people to commit in advance and I can secure the special pricing. To all those who are thinking about it, but have not done it yet, it's a lot of fun! So come on and sign up. Nizam?

    Oh, all right. Twist my rubber arm. You're on!

    Can I bring my own helmet (M2000 I think, not SA-rated) or do they have rules against that?

    The only rule is "Do not pass Faisal."

    Yeah, same place. You could do one race (5 min qualifying, 15 min race) for $45. Or a ten-minute all out session for $25.

    Actually, please ignore my previous post.

    I got a better deal in terms of cost per minute, but it's going to be $70. Not cheap, I know. But we do get 3 races, each one with a 4 minute qualifying session and then a ten minute race, ie. 42 minutes of karting for $70.

    This is the league pricing, so I will need to prepay and collect from everyone ie. either paypal me in advance or bring $70 in cash please.

    So, who can come? It would be good to get a group together and do this twice a month, and those on a budget can perhaps come every other time?

    Faisal - only one driver. 42 minutes huh. Sounds like a lot of racing! I'll bring cash.

    2 factors for me.

    The largest is the extreme sunburn I have on my back, so much so that even a cold shower hurts. I will not make excuses, but I may not make it do to this, but I will know by tommorow night as this crap heals. Imagine this....a red head with a sunburn..........what is this world coming to???

    Oh, and My roomate Chris might be able to go. So right now, we have 2 maybes.


    1 rule....you pass me, you meet the wall. :)

    Oh, and I will be there.

    You forgot to add redhead!

    OK, I think we have enough. 10 is the sweet spot, and I think we are right at 12 or so.

    I will post a final list of attendees this evening.

    See you all there at 7.30-8. And remember, you are not allowed to pass me.

    ...santana row, karting session #1, Porsche purchase, whole week off work for concorso...... Me thinks the car quota is used up for this month. Schedule it around lunch next time and I am there (any Wed, Friday, or Tuesday).

    Have fun, I really enjoyed the last time ! And thanks for organizing, Faisal.

    (Off to the garage to apply some recently acquired vintage stickers for my Bonaldi brake booster and air cleaner. Hey...it is the little things !)

    Luke- you will be missed my friend!

    Rich- So, you're saying you got worked by a fluke? That sounds kinda dirty...

    Faisal- Ted not yet confirmed but likely (or I will bring my brother instead).

    "Rules", those are like double-yellow lines, just vauge suggestions, right?

    I will bring the celing. That's not code. The eagle wears a hat. Repeat, the eagle wears a hat.
