    On Thursday, April 30th, after working hours (time, guys? I can get there around 6:15 but don't wait for me) we will hit Speedzone for a pre race testing session.

    This is just a second date, for those who can't participate on the 7th, or wish to do some pre-race testing in preparation for the 7th.

    So far:

    Bump - Weather should be nice tomorrow for Karting at Speedzone.

    Just to be clear, this event isn't meant to replace the May 7th Speedzone (plus extracurriculars) event, but rather as an alternate date for those travelling or who want to participate both dates.

    I will be there at 6:15 pm, or earlier, but I can't guarantee it.

    The good news if only 3 of us are showing up, is that I'm guaranteed a podium! :)

    I'm still in, will aim for about 6:00.

    I'll be good to go for today. Is there any reservation or something to be done?

    No reservation needed.

    I just send a private message to your PM box with my cell number in case you can't locate us.

    See y'all between 6 and 6:15pm

    I don't need the fastest cart. Hopefully it runs though. ;)

    Thanks for putting this together FarmerDave, it was a blast. Though I would feel the last T-bone of
    the night on the slick track, but no aches this morning.

    I wish I was sorry for that last turn spin I put jimpo1 in.

    I wish I was sorry for the crack I made about your car. :)

    By the way, that challenge you threw down about your car against any of mine? I'll take you up on that.
    Car and Driver says your car goes 0-60 in 5.1 (assuming you have six speed), I can get there in 4.7. Loser buys the first beer. :p

    I'm not sore from that kid in the last race going around purposely hitting people full speed. He has anger issues, so I got mad and hit him 3 times. :)

    I did wake up this morning with food poisoning or something of the sorts. So far not If Pigs Fly symptoms and hopefully I'm over it by tomorrow to still do part of the SCCA race this weekend.

    Phew, for a second I thought you were sore from the guy that kept slamming the door on you in the first Turbo race. That guy has issues with losing. :D

    I did notice you and Tillman both seemed to go out of your way to hit me. :D Luckily John wasn't out there too. I think I was a bad dude in my previous life at TBC for so much hatred. ;)

    Not true. We can't help it that you were so often spinning into the path of the faster drivers ;)

    ahh, Tillman mentioned that, you should have said hi. we didn't know you were from FC. I guess Tillman hitting people from behind and Dave cutting people off scared you away. :D;):D

    Nah, I wasn't scared. I just wasn't positive if the guys I was racing with were the FC guys. Either way, I raced like it was.
