    Default Dallas Karting Complex Race Day! - Saturday, June 25th

    Let's do it again!

    OK, so you missed out on all the fun we had Memorial Day weekend at the Dallas Karting Complex. Well, here's you chance to redeem yourself.

    The brand new Dallas Karting complex is now open for business!



    I'm trying to get the same deal that we got on Memorial Day: $60/person for three sessions - one practice, one qualifying, and then one ten-lap race with a rolling start. Should be about 45 minutes total seat time, give or take, all in the 15 horsepower adult karts.

    Please try to be there at 10am. If you've never been there before, you'll have to fill out a profile, and it will take awhile to get everyone paid and grouped up in the system. My hope is that we can have the first practice group on track by about 10:30 am.

    Driver's suits are not required, and Mike said that long sleeves/pants are not required either... although I'd recommend a pair of jeans at least. Closed toe shoes are required. You can bring your own helmet or use one of their loaners, although you'll have to bring/buy a headsock if you use one of theirs.

    We need a minimum of ten people to get the the group rate and guaranteed races.

    If you're DEFINITELY going to be there, email me by clicking on this link and I'll add you to the list. Don't just reply to this thread, 'cause I've posted this on several boards and may not catch your post.

    See you at the track!

    Should add it to the DFW Autocross calendar.
    M3 is always the answer.

    Yep, but I don't think they've got as many as they do karts, so if you see one, grab one (that's what I did).

    Why not set this up for a night meet when it's cooler or do you like sliding the karts around corners from all the sweat on the track?

    Well, let's think about that - last time it took four hours for everyone to run. They close at 9 pm, so we'd have to start at around 5 pm to ensure that everyone got their track time.

    I don't know about you, but I'd rather run around lunchtime than start at the hottest part of the day.

    Count me in. Are you trying to keep this to the motorsport/racing crowd? Got a couple people (non-racing average Joe) that may be interested. Not sure if you are trying to keep an experienced group. -Vo

    Hey Vo!

    No, I intend this to be open to anyone. We had a few "average Joes" the last time around who gave the experienced people a run for their money.

    Ya, but then I'd have to pay him for it.

    Zo and his wife are in.
