Yeah sorry, I flaked on planning it as they did not provide me with much information when the Kart Track first openned. Last I checked with Russell racing, they would not give us a discount on the Karting course, but given that its in December...they may provide a "seasonal" discount. The contact at Russell was Dianna Anderson, Corporate Sales Agent for Jim Russell Racing Drivers School. She can be reached at 1.800.733.0345 or dianna@russellracing.com>
However, if we get a group togeher, they will tailor the course to suite our needs so it could be a fun event. I'll still be around in December so I'd be interested.

In case you guys are still interested, I have a Maranello 125cc Parilla kart for $280 a day (available anyday) and I'm sure you'll get more tracktime than the Russel school. It's all about seat time! The more comfortable you are with the kart the faster you'll be!
Buy a kart and I'll refund $140 of the demo charge, plus I'll spend the day at the track of choice to get it dialed with a full kart orientation, short driving instructions and a couple lead-follow sessions. I got these Maranello's dialed and they're proven to kick --s at Club, Regional and National levels. I race myself (Always podium finish at any race), learn first hand and pass along everything I know to the customers.
BTW, I wouldn't recommend a shifter till you master the NON-shifters. Some guys claim that they do OK in the shifters right off the back at the school, but when they race in a REAL Series, they get spanked!
Let me know if I can help in anyway.

Thanks John, but this thread is for people interested in taking the Russell Racing course. I'm sure if people are interested in renting your kart, they'll contact you directly. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to buy one now...
Good info about the shifter kart though. It seems like the sprint kart is the best way to start.
