Guess what, yep, this Saturday is the 3rd Saturday of the month and that means possibly our last C&G of the year as the cold weather approaches. Bundle up and bring out your pride and joy for a final hoorah of 2010! 180 facebook friends now! Spread the word so we can make 2011 a bigger and better year for C&G.

... I [Curt Rainbolt] usually try to get there close to 9 to set up a banner out by the entrance. There have been instances in the past when the parking lot was full of early runners (they meet at Fleet Feet in the shopping center) and on those mornings we have just moved directly across the street to the southernmost parking lot at Lafortune. I’m looking forward to meeting new people and seeing some old faces this weekend (well, I’m not saying anyone has and old face, er-uh… you know what I mean).

Pics will be posted on the website and on the facebook page each month for you to browse later on. At some point we will have a professional photographer come up to one of our meets and snap some shots that you can download and have large prints made of your pride and joy.

See you all on Saturday!

Hello Caff and Gassers! Is it May already? How did that happen? Saturday the 21st is our next meet. Plan on finding us in the south parking lot at LaFortune between 9 and noon.... see you there!!

June 18th is our next scheduled event to get together and have a good time.

This time we plan to change it up a bit so I wanted to give you a week’s notice of the location change. Next Saturday we will be meeting at JRP SPEEDWAY on the grass. JRP offers a great location to show the cars AND they have rental go karts for some added excitement. These are not your regular run of the mill rental karts, these babies will do 45-50 mph around their paved outdoor track. Too much fun! I have logged many many miles on this track in these karts and every time I go back it's just as exciting as the first time.

Plan to come out and join us even if you are not interested in racing karts, the meet will continue as regular.

Just a heads up, Alf is doing up something special for us tomorrow at the meet. He called me to let me know he will be firing up the grill around 10:30-11 and grilling some brats while serving some cold beverages. Come on out and join us in the heat for the show tomorrow, bring lawn chairs if you think about it, there is some shade where the cars will be parked in the grass.

Also, if you plan on doing some kart racing, bring your own helment if you have one. Helmets are provided at the track but are… well, lets just say they are “well seasoned”. Just trust me on this one, if you have your own helmet bring it, its mandatory for racing and must have eye protection.

$35 for a 20 minute race but we will probably be doing shorter races, like 10 minute stints so it will be cheaper. 10 minutes is a long time in these karts, don’t worry.
