Kart 2 Kart is definitely a good time, and for those who have them you can bring your own helmet.

The other day I stumbled across old race results and lap times from K2K that they printed out for us after each session. Does anyone know if they keep your username in the system?



+1 Jon.... I haven't seen anyone in a long time and haven't met many of the local guys..... I'll probably head up there Monday.

They do keep your username, jeff.

I hope I get a kart that can turn right this time.

Unfortunately no, but they do have a nice little whiteboard with the track layout you can draw on in the lobby.

If anyone is interested I have a set of carbon fiber b-pillar covers for
the 350Z that I never got around to using... figured I'd offer them local first.

These are brand new with the protective platstic still on the face and
3M backing for adhesion. I forget what brand they are but they are not
the Nismo or Varis. Any scratches or waviness in the picture is actually on the protective plastic covering and not on the actual b-pillar.

Looking for $25

Send me a PM if interested.

So working on a Sunday is not fun.......especially since we have holiday tomorow.

Anyways, browsing craigslist and found a few things local:

Varrstoen's +0 offset for $1100
http://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/pts/2213354962.html
Super aggressive with the +0, if they were like +22 I'd consider, but +0's too much for me.

06+ headlights for $700
http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/pts/2204358396.html
Looks legit, but I'd make sure to test them out and check if all tabs are intact

OEM 18" wheels for $300
http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/pts/2186326005.html
I think Scott was looking for some OEM 18's?

19" wheels for $850
http://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/pts/2167765010.html
Offsets are weak, but if you run a 20mm spacer they would look nice.

Too bad I'm saving for a wedding or else I'd look into those headlights.

Default per email - glzc meeting delayed 1 week

Hello everyone,

Unfortunately due to the almost 100% possibility of snow and ice tomorrow night, we've decided to postpone the February Kart 2 Kart meeting till next Monday (2/28). The forecast for next Monday is 60% snow, but we'll see as we get closer.

I apologize, but we'd rather be safe than sorry.

Drive safe everyone and see you all next Monday!

Rob (GLZC VP)

Thanks Steve, I was just about to post that this morning.

It's not snowing right now, but supposed to start again in the afternoon.

It also looks like next week there will be snow too, but we'll play it by ear.

I've already shoveled 3 times since last night.... I'm glad the K2K is postponed because I don't think I can even get out of my subdivision.

The weather was so nice on Saturday that I pulled the Z out and backed the Jeep in for repairs. I did take it out for a quick spin around the block. I sooo miss the Z. Spring can't come soon enough!

As for the Jeep, I replaced the driver's side seat track, did the rear brakes and repaired a loose heat shield on the exhaust. I thought we'd just get a dusting on Sunday so I left the Jeep in the garage.

Holy Baby Jesus!



You can see why I don't drive the Z in the winter. It took me an hour and a half to shovel the drive and rotate the Jeep out of the garage and get the Z back in. Keep in mind that the slightest bit of frost on the drive and the tires just spin.



Karen's plate couldn't be any more appropriate:

Do any of you guys with GoPro cameras have the chest mount thingie? I want to try to take mine to vegas for the Fremont Street Experience Zipline ride... Ideally I would wear it on my hat so I can change the view but I don't know how well it would stay on a baseball cap.

Waiting for my flight back to Detroit... I <3 the desert.

I learned today that a Cube can go over 120mph.... With a tailwind...

It was surprisingly stable too.
