Looking to get a little get together for some GoKart racing. I figure we would do G-Force Karts in Richmond. It's a midway point between SOVA and NOVA/MD. The place seems pretty cool and we could even have a little championship race. Here is an excerpt that I took out of one of the email that I had received from gforce.com:

QUOTE
"Each race is typically 8 minutes. We put 10 racers on the track at a time. We have all the Pepsi products they make, and we can do boxed lunches or pizzas etc from other caterers. We can run 60 heat races in an hour. Meaning of you have 30 people they cna all race twice in one hour for two 8 minute races. If you have a larger group, you may want to consider 1.5 hours for two races, then you could run a "championship race for the last or 9th race of the event. "

They are kind enough to offer us races at membership prices. These are the prices:

Single Race $17
3 Races $48
5 Races $75
8 Races $110
All Day Race Pass $110

Adult Karts go anywhere between 35-40 mph.
Super Karts are faster than Adult Karts. (I'll have to find out the what you have to do in order to qualify for these)

Please let me know if you are up for it. I would like to give G-Force a heads up by August 4th.

Which group are u going to be. lol.gif

Cool. We should be there a go amount of time.

The only way we can get the super-karts is if we buy the membership. I spoke with one of the guys there and he said if we can get at least 20 people to pay for the membership. He will charge us $15 instead of the $25.

The karts actually go between 40-45 mph.

The super-karts go between 50-55 mph.

In order to get the superkarts, you have to finish 5 laps under 25'5 in one heat.

 

Tom,

I'm going to be a definite no now. I just spent my go karting money on a small vacation.

Have fun, everyone!

 

Im not going to be able to make this. A family emergency come up.. Zeemz i will pm you in a few mins regarding the bumper. Im truely sorry guys i was looking forward to this meet.

so what time are we meeting at g-force?

 

Sorry to hear this Jay. If this deal with my tan seats doesn't pan out, I can meet you near the border to pick up seats and Lewis's bumper.

 

are we just going to meet at g-force at 1pm???

 

Looks that way. Say 1-1:30 pm at the go kart place. I'm meeting some folks in Manassas if you want to caravan up. But you need to respond to this post before 10 am as I'm leaving my place at that time.

 

Peter, I may be heading down at the same time with you all. It'll have to be a last minute decision.

 

No prob Skip. I'll call you when we leave.
