4thGenLude
Spots still open?
how many are allowed on the track?

NisHo
up to 15. I have 8 spots filled and was going to cap it at 10ish.

95EagleAWD
I'm so terrible excited for this, it's not even funny.

80 km's in a kart? This is gonna be stupidly fun. I've never driven these ones before, I'm pretty pumped.

4thGenLude
can i get you money this weekend?
PM box is full btw

NisHo
LOL, that could be why I'm not getting PMs! I just cleared it.

Just bring your money the day of. We'll meet up at the Manning Timmy's at about 5, have a bite then cruise to Stratotech.

Ryan you know the way 'pros' do it is they have it matted the whole time - you are strictly forbidden to use your brakes! :blue:

Still one spot open for my bro, or no? I'll ask him today...

shorti
Oh god I can't wait.
So what do we need to bring for this? Helments? Full onesies leather suits? ;) Or do they supply everything.
Scratch that, I'm not waering someone elses helment.

95EagleAWD
Yeah, I'm bringing my own helmet. At least I know it's gonna be a full face, and it's gonna fit.

NisHo
They supply suits and gloves and helmets.

My helmet doesn't have a visor/shield whatever so I'm not sure if I'll be allowed or if I'll eat mosquitos?

Yeah Ryan your bro can come.

You need a full face for sure. You don't want to be eating what the karts in front of you are throwing.

OK so Sunday at 5 meet at the Manning Crossing Timmy's (it's 420 Manning Crossing) http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&...;z=16&om=1. We can have a quick bite and then cruise out to Stratotech for 6.

Any questions?

beeb
i know you pm'd me and told me there were no more openings.. but if anyone drops out last minute let me know ;)

95EagleAWD
Karyn, my brother is NOT coming, so if that frees up a spot, there we go.

beeb
DIBS DIBS DIBS!!!

NisHo
Well OK beeb, but only since your username is so funny.

PM me your phone number, pls.

CanuckDave
OK so my alternator died in my truck, I just bought a new bike but I can't get insurance on it until monday, so until then I have no way around :mad:

Anybody going to be heading there from the south side that I could get a ride with? I'll give gas money if anybody is willing to pick me up on their way.

:(

:tear:

beeb
So meet @ 5pm?

Krall
I'd like to swing by just to see it all go down! CanuckDave if you like, I could give you a lift to timmies and then stratotech!

- Jamos

NisHo
Yeah ... don't forget to bring $100. Maybe $6 in case taxes.

Helmets with face shields if you got 'em. If not, they have them.

beeb
K sounds good, I have an extra noggin holder.. ill bring it..

I actually have two.. but one is a girls :P

shorti
And we're allowed to bring spectators right?

CanuckDave

Shouldn't be a problem, I've gone out to watch bike track days fairly often.

If anybody wants to go out on the inside of the track to take pics, just talk to somebody at the track, cause you'll have to wear a bright yellow vest..

NisHo
If you bring friends to watch they may be able to run, so have them bring the money just in case.

When the group gets over 15 they make you run in separate groups, and since we're running at 6 and it closes at 8 that just means some people would get the shaft. The most allowed on the track at one time is between 10 and 15.

There might be an extra spot or two once we get out there, but I can't promise.

shorti
I'm getting really excited
only a few hours left!!!

NisHo
actually only one hour fifteen minutes before people who live downtown or farther south should leave their houses and head to timmy's!

impact
i like pie

NisHo
jesus you must get GOOD weed.

impact
jesus is my weed

CanuckDave
That was awesome, we'll have to do it again sometime.

impact
yea that was a blast.

and its going to happen again....

i need to lose some weight!

CanuckDave
Haha this is one of the few times I can actually say that being scrawny was an advantage.

95EagleAWD
Did everone else's steering feel really light on the drive home?

CanuckDave
Kevin kept saying how weird the STI felt after driving the Kart lol

4thGenLude
haha shit wish i could have came
sounded like you guys had a good time

i'll be out next time for sure

STiPWR
lol yeah my steering felt sloppy as fuck on the way home.

Great times, I aswell need to lose some weight :) Getting passed on the straights sucks my balls.

:lol:

beeb
THAT WAS UNREAL!!

my sides hurt, my hands hurt.. hell i have bits of rubber on my face and in my shirt

that rhymed..

ha ha ha

moral of the story....

two hours of driving flat out on somthing hardly bigger than a coffee table is one of the funnest things you will ever do

when are we going again

SIGN ME UP!!!

ps.. being taken out in EVERY race sucks balls....

and i have hay in my sweater..

Krall
I just got home now (11:10) and it's my first time relaxing. I'm in pain. My arms, chest, neck, back, and it feels GREAT!

That was a riot indeed, and well worth the $100.

We were all too busy to snap shots of the actual cars, or us wearing our hats huh? hah.

AFter leaving the track, I found myself pushing my car WAY harder and to limits never before reached, because "what's the worst that can happen, a spin out" was my mentality. Fortunately, my car's still in one piece.

The sloppy steering FTW, the comfy SEATS FTMFW and the damned fun gained... hooah!

Great idea!

Are the carts there bigger than the carts at Whytemud?

I drove the "fast carts" at whytemud last summer and it sucked cause I was too big for the cart.

yeah definitely, those karts are really slow, these do a pretty decent speed.

ROCK

My steering was pretty nice on the way home ... it's a mini. 1.5 rotations. Other than that, totally with you. I just soaked in some epsom salts. You can't do that, because you're all male, so you'll still be sorry tomorrow and I won't. :D

Once again, I applaud everyone who attended in their excellent avoidance skills. I thought I was done for sure.

Krall
My personal favorite from the night



But I'm so curious as to:



Hah!

- Jamos

beeb
anybody got any more pictures?

love it

95EagleAWD
Fuck, my wheels look so gay.

beeb
I think the lack of wheels causes us to question the heterosexuality of the person driving the car

Krall
No way! I love it, kinda heritage man!



- Jamos

beeb
he he he

im just giving ryan a hard time cause his car is faster than mine :P

Krall
... that Camry was almost faster :P

beeb
Camry

ohhhh that was low..

shorti
It's now 12:21 and the flat deck just dropped my car off at home. I thought it could make it with the bad alternator, guess not. We had to wait 3 hours for a flat deck :confused: AMA.

Anyhoo my g/f got some camera phone pics that I'll try and get tomorrow. I especially like the picture of me being chased by 4 other carts. :)

But ya where the hell do I start?
Holy fuck that was fun, we had our own mini version of Days of Thunder, bump to pass, bump cause the warm up lap was too slow, bump cause it's fun. :D
I was just so awesome how 9 carts are all barreling into a corner all at the same time and no one had the courtesy to let up. Grass, hay and rocks flying everywhere.
Oh and I'll never forget the look of sheer terror in NisHo's eyes when 8 carts are trying to dodge her. :lol:

Oh that sucks man, whats with all the alternators dying now? I had the same thing happen to my truck 2 days ago :p Tried to make it home, alternator wasn't having any of that.

I wish somebody could have got a pic of me flying sideways through the grass onto the straight, after taking out somebody else haha

Oh yeah, Karen had a big "deer in the headlights" look there, scared the crap out of me lol, good thing a couple of us had fast reactions or that could have ended badly.

The whole bump passing thing was pretty good, me and Aaron were locked side by side for a while there until I managed to cut in front on turn 5, bastard tried to push me into the grass but I just pushed back lol

edit: nice photochop haha

NisHo
holy fuck you have mad photshop skills!!! RED BULL!

Here is a 10 meg video, sorry only footage is really the NSX and three STis (I can't complain). I thought it included some Charger (when he's taking that pic of me, actually) but I guess it's late and I shat the bed. Also forgot to export framebased so there's horizontal lines ...

Is it just me, or is anyone else feeling broken from yesterday?

My shoulders are clicking, my hip is bruised inside, and my left knee is so tender. I have a stiff neck too!

I love it, without these reminders, I'd have no doubt forgotton most of the fun! With each pain I have, I can recall where it came from! hahaha

If only it wasn't $100!

Quit bein' a pussy. :p

My wrists are sore, thats about it. I have burn marks on my left arm from the back tire trying to high-five Jeremy after a good run.

Karyn!!! Post the results!!!!

NisHo
I need everyone's car numbers! I only have Ryan's and Ryan's and Jeremey's. I also need to know who switched carts, and what both numbers were.

CanuckDave
I was car 33.

yeah, arms are a little sore, which wasn't helped by ripping around on the new bike for a couple hours tonight lol

Krall
10

shorti
I'm not sore at all :p
I was car 3.
A few more laps on the third race and I would have caught you two in front. You are my nemesis Ryan -_-
