hey guys...
if you haven't been there, don't do the speed sprints...
i doubt you will have fun to do the $50 for first time, you won't know what to do...
go do the practice session first... for $20
and then go on saturday...
my coworkers and i try to make it every week.

what are your best times there?

The best I have done is something like 30.5 but that was about 3 months back and the track seems to change over time.

Damn, my best was 33.5 but now that I'm not a kart virgin, they'll be better next time.

So far I have these people:

josh3io
enlightninboy
krazik
huyto
another2k

I'm signed up for 12 people to do the speed sprint. So far I have a projected 9, possibly 11 arriving. So if you're on this list and CAN'T make it, let me know!

Again, show up at Speedring at 1:30pm, race at 2pm this saturday, 6/2.

Not sure yet if I will be in town, but if I am, I'll be there. Should have a more definite answer by end of today.

They didn't smooth it.. the floor paint is chipping up so there is minimal traction at most breaking and exit points.

it sorta sucks. I even complained to the manager about it, he shruged me off.

I mean the track is still drivable, but I know what it was like then the paint was still covering most of the surface.

Where are no birms. I will show you want I mean when we get there, as you can see it from the walk ways. There are spots on the floor where there is no "grip" paint. So you go from a grippy surface to a slick on.

So turns out I have 3 spots open right now, possibly 4. Huyto or Another S2k, I'll let you know in the next day or so if more spots open.

I'll consider these guys as coming since they replied first.

josh3io
enlightninboy
krazik

cheers
