NOTE:
- I plan to get to Fastrax Raceway by 10:45 AM. They open at 11 AM. If you get there sooner, you can always wait at the Panera Bread next door.

- During lunch, I will ask the waitress/waiter if they can do separate checks. If they can't, then we will just divide the total equally between all attending, unless you want to take on the responsibility of determining how much each person is due

To paraphrase Twain, it's better I keep my mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt

and I updated the OP. Dave, you are coming, aren't you?

Criminies! I hope my vision is fast enough.

Do we bring our own helmets?

Should I bring the Go-Pro?

Jeff, they will have helmets. You can bring the GoPro. I am not sure where it can be attached though.

Races are 14 laps long and cost $23 per race per person. Karts are a lot of fun but let me assure you that vision is the least of your worries. These karts are powerful and will spin quite a bit. Also as they lack a regular suspension (it is the frame that is the suspension in a kart), it will take at least one race to get used to how the kart handles. The skinny and little people will have all the advantage. Last time I was at a karting place like this, I was passed (possibly lapped) by everyone including JJ. It will be fun though.

I sent Greg an email with a link to this thread and he said Lisa and he would try to come.
