Tech Day or Go-Kart meet, I'm down for both.

And yes, you can bring your own helmet as long as it has a visor.

I can talk to Dave and see how soon he needs the banner. It doesn't really matter if we keep the banner here longer but I didn't want to keep hogging the banner.

We could use the banner as the finish line tape and you get to crash through it. We can just tape it back together.

It's still snowy in MN, so I'm sure he wouldn't mind waiting a little longer.

Haha, I did that a few times when they wouldn't let me pass. We're going to have our next meet at K1, hopefully sometime around early May.

LOL'd @ Stu's comment about the banner. 2pc banner ftw. Finally k1 is open, I didn't hear much about it. How's pricing for it Chris? You went without inviting us

^ Being unable to drive my Z, I needed to tend to my race addiction somehow..

Pricing is about the same as other facilities, I think. They have packages you can get to save a little bit of money.

Most likely, yes.

There's also a private group thing but it costs more for the same thing.

I've never been to a place like this so I'm pretty pumped. I've also never tracked my Z or any other car, just flew planes.

It's pure, unadulterated fun and anyone can join in, regardless of experience. I guarantee you'll enjoy it.

I had a lot of fun when I did it 10 years ago. I was only like 13 years old so there was a learning curve, but I got much better by the end of the night. I remember the shorter course had the timer at the finish so you could see your rank every time you came through. I tried to pass a guy on the inside of a 180 degree turn, and ended up sliding out right into him and popping some plastic off his cart. Then we fought with our helmets on just like they do in real motorsports.
