    Guys, I figured another wednesday night karting session was in order. Rich concurs. And if we do it down south a bit, we could get some of the monterey-goers to join.

    Who's in, and who knows the right person @ Speedring? (assuming Monterey-folks are interested)

    Darth,
    The way you and your friend drive, you should be able to make it if you leave work just an hour early...:)

    Guys,

    Be warned, Andy's fully professional, and won't suffer from Art-syndrome (har har old man, where are you?)!

    So, yeah, I'll just be a back-marker.

    Aargh, wifey told me that she committed to a dinner for us for tomorrow evening. I have to choose between stuffing my face and getting stuffed into a tire wall...easy choice for a fatso like me. ~Groan~

    See you guys next time. Sorry.

    Next week would be better for me, especially if it's Speedring! I did like the 2-track layouts at GKR better, though. How about it Dan?

    Vincent,

    I only ran into Gary down there... I got in late and left early. I didn't get to see any of the cars I was so interested to check, missed opportunity. I will plan it differently next year.

    Cheers,

    P.S. We should get together for a local rally soon.

    Rich, in the last thread on go-karting, points were brought up about paying 5% more and having 100% more satisfaction (private room to do a little bench racing, talk smack, swap track notes, TV screen showing lap times of the group out on track etc.)

    My vote will go to a facility that will give us, as a group, that level of satisfaction.

    I don't know enough about GoKart Racer, SpeedRing nor LeMans Karting to make an informed vote. That said, you can count me in. I may have three more people interested as well, one of whom is my wife. She specifically asked if there will be other women drivers ... and I told her I'd ask :)
