    Thanks again everyone for coming out. Hope everyone had a great time!

    Big thanks to Terry Fair and Vorshlag for donating to the prize fund, and thanks to goofygrin for helping me set up the final race grid positions. I appreciate everyone's help!

    I'm looking at setting up another event out there either July 23rd or 30th. This one should be even more fun - more sponsors, more prizes, and one of yesterday's racers (who cooks for several NASCAR teams) has offered to tow his smoker out with some brisket for a nominal donation.

    I'll post up a new thread and start an entry list as I nail down some details!

    I've had several requests for a Sunday event, so I'm evaluating it for the next one...

    Default Pics and video from DKC event

    Big shout out to Iain for setting up this event. What a blast!

    Gallery of photos and videos: http://vorshlag.smugmug.com/Racing-E...ng-DKC-062611/

    VIDEOS

    I'm still working on editing and uploading the massive video file McCall shot of Race Group 1 (the championship race) + the re-running of Race Group 3 that I shot.

    PICTURES

    We only got pictures from one practice session and two race groups (group 2 & 3), so if we didn't get you - sorry. Next time we'll try to bring someone just to shoot video and pictures. Trying to do that + drive the karts was hectic.

    (continued from above)

    I was glad Amy and I could qualify for the main "Group 1 race", having never been to DKC before and not having done karts in years. I qualified 5th with a 74.063 and Amy qualified 8th with a 74.248. In the actual race I got a "less than stellar" kart (#13) and finished mid-pack, with Amy right behind me. A little sore the next day, and she had some impressive bruises on her rib cage, but that was too much fun - can't wait to do it again!





    Congratulations to the three race group winners! Each one got a DKC trophy, Vorshlag hat and Vorshlag/AST polo FTW.

    It was good seeing so many DFW racers show up to this event. We've got to do this again!

    Until next time,
    Terry Fair @ Vorshlag Motorsports

    In the interest of accuracy, I did manage to hold your wife off and maintain 6th in the champion ship race, right behind you. I think all three of us finished where we started - not that your wife didn't try her damndest to pass me!

    I am playing at Augie's Sunset Cafe on Eagle Mountain Lake from 2-6 every Sunday except this Sunday, I am playing on the 4th which is a Monday.
    I also play every other Wednesday (including today) at Lake Weatherford Marina from 6-9

    I could post a thread about it I suppose

    Sorry Billy - looks like the next event is going to be on a Sunday. I'll announce more details once we've got everything firmed up.
