GO KARTING!!!

I made a reservation for at least 9 people. If you are NOT going to be able to make it, PLEASE LET ME KNOW BY FRIDAY 12noon!!! The reservation is under my credit card and if not enough people show, my credit card is going to get raped. :cry:

If you are not on the list and want to go FOR SURE, let me know and I'll add you. If you are on the list and CANNOT GO, please let me know as well.

The reservation is for a time-trial practice session (http://www.lemanskarting.com/products/practice.html)

I look forward to seeing you guys for some friendly competition (even though I'm probably going to get owned). :lol:

You guys should try out gokart racer instead. The two track layouts are better, and if you really want a challenge, on sundays and mondays, they combine both tracks for the super track which makes it the largest indoor track in the usa (at least that's what the website says). Plus the people are more friendlier especially the ones waving the black flags.

i'ved driven on the "super track" at gokart racer and i got to say it was fun. highlight of the track is the elevation change and the high speed right hand sweeper. all i have to say is the track is "TITS". although the track is narrow and there are only a couple of passing points on the track and their driving suits are not rewashed after each session.

I'm pretty set on going to LeMans, simply because I've never been there before and it's really close to my place. :P But, I am down to try the other places at another time. 8)

Planning on going in the evening, around 6pm. I was trying to get a head count so that I could make a reservation for all those interested and hopefully get us all on the track at the same time. I believe it's up to 12 drivers a session. :D

I am by NO MEANS a pro, or even really good at go-karting... but hey... we all gotta start somewhere. :P

I'm sure we'll have more than 9. :D But, either way, hope to see you there.

Looks like we're going to have more than enough people. I'm pretty sure 12 is the max for 1 session. Maybe, we can get more than 1 session in. :D
