Re: 2012 awards party?

how about a indoor kart track. like mb2, you can check out there rates online. just rent the room. we pay for our own driving if we want to after the party. i am not sure what kind of budget you are talking about. each person bring food like we do at our Christmas party's and new year eve party's. w...

Re: different way to a drive a slalom?

This makes it much easier to establish a rhythm. thanks sebastian i have never heard that before. that was worth the post even if i looked dumb posting that questions. thanks a...

Re: March 19th Practice Registration Open

Notice there is still one opening for a true noobie / Novice. If you are in the wait list and qualify (first event or new in the last couple of months) let us know. Or if you are already in and qualify, let us know so we can move you up to a novice spot and give your spot to someone else. hi rick i...
