OK guys,

I talked with Mike again this afternoon, and here's the deal. They will reserve the DKC Championship Party (two dedicated 12-lap races for $50/person) rate for our group for Monday morning. Scheduled time is 10:30, but try to be there a little earlier to get sorted out, get a helmet if you need it, etc.

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 eight people to get the DKC Championship Party with the group rate and guaranteed races. Now that I've got a firm time, go ahead and post in this thread if you're in, then send me a PM with your name and contact info so I know who to look for Monday morning.

See you out there! :burnrubr:

Medium. The shifter carts are MUCH more expensive, and you are required to first show your proficiency by getting around the track in the medium cart under the target time before they let you rent the shifter cart.

Medium karts. So far I've got:

Me
Titus
Ken o
Goofygrin
John Green (friend of mine) +1

That's six. Who else is in?

well count me in either way, and possibly hellaqwik

Both my father-in-law and I are in!

Group rate is $50 for two 12-lap races. Races should each last roughly fifteen minutes.

Send me a PM with your contact info if you're interested, and we'll see you out there!

By the way - I have 12 confirmed and 3 maybes at the moment. The track at DKC has room for 15 karts per race, so of you want to be part of the fun let me know soon! if we get enough maybe we can get two qualifying groups and a "championship race"! :mrgreen:

So far:
Me
Titus
Ken o (+1 maybe)
Goofygrin
John Green (friend of mine) +1
Russian (+1 maybe)
Flyin96m +1
Luis
Marcus T +1

I'm out this time guys, unless something changes last minute.

With Mark and Canadice I now have 15 confirmed and 3 maybes. If we can get 20+ then I think we can break it up into two groups, and do a "qualifying/race" format. We'll use your top lap time from the first race to grid you for the second race, so top ten will race for the "championship" and the rest will get a consolation race. ;-)

Either way we all get some wheel-to-wheel fun!

Maybe in. I'll get back to you.

i might have more coming ... is that ok?

I may get in, I'll confirm by tomorrow. How much are subsequent races, like 4 total races, all day?

I'm in. maybe +1

The more the merrier. At this point I hope to have enough people for two race groups.

I think additional races may be $10 as part of the group deal. Will try to confirm tomorrow.

I'll be there.

I'm in and maybe +1

I got a hallpass from Sara, and Rick is going... so add me and Trickyrix to the list....

Put me on the maybe list. PM inbound.

In for some fun.

im still no more +1

Okay guys,

It looks like if everyone who has confirmned makes it we should have 20+ people! That should be enough to put together two dedicated race groups.

Please try and be there before 10:30 tomorrow morning. The sooner we get a headcount, the sooner we can get the groups organized and hit the track.

If you're running late in the morning please call me at 8one7-eight9six-9five9eight and let me know you're on your way, otherwise I can't guarantee you'll be part of the group!

Driftdevil and I went out this afternoon and checked it out... It looks pretty cool. Before you can run, you have to fill out a form on the computer, and they only have 3 computer stations, so Iain is right about the importance of getting there early. The loaner helmets look nice and they also provide everyone with neck braces.

Rick just bailed on us. I'm still coming out, so y'all will have someone in dead last place, lol

I am still in. The kid is not.

anyone not wanting to drive all the way out there is welcome to carpool with me, i'm not looking forward to driving alone....

Out, I have to make my oil pressure gauge work.

im bringing 3 ppl with me

anyone want to go to the gun range after? The Garland public range is on the way back for me :D

Out.:(
