If interested in trying the shifter kart for the SCNAX Cup, stop by in the morning.
Track opens at 9AM. Costs $45 to run on the track.

If you are still looking for a 4th, Roy's a free agent. Team MART or TRAM.

Looks like they might have their fourth driver willing to look ________ in a Shifter Kart. They should let Roy in on the Practice since he might not be able to get into a team unless there are three more drivers all of a sudden. I've been asking around ... there is a whole group who just doesn't want to come out and play ...

SCNAX Cup Team, "Deuces Wild"

Jamie "the girl can cook" Lessie aka Spider Woman
Jeff "my middle name is The" Ringer
Tim "I don't need no stink'in middle name" Aing
Ron "John 3:16" Tsumura

Has she driven a kart yet? Or are you just looking to get her hooked?

As far as I know, Jamie have not driven a kart.

Hope she has/gets that left foot brake thing down.

I found the rightfoot to the floor thing to be much more of a problem,

Well, put her in the last group and hope that kart track has open practice going on.

You should negotiate with Art for a maximum time in lieu of three DNF's.

On our score sheet DNF get 999 Seconds.

My first time competing in Larry's kart, DNF wasn't the problem. I just kept spinning it, but not DNF or hitting cones.

I think it might be more crazy across the street. Depending upon how crowded it gets
Team Deuces Wild could fold.

Art-

Just a suggestion, make it a 100. That's an ugly hit, but its not game over for a four person team. They might still have a chance with great performances not to be last. Give everybody a feeling of still being in it if a car breaks and can't be replaced in time or you get a triple DNF. Just a thought.

Art-

Any chance of setting up a little area in the morning where the SSS could watch her for a few minutes feel the kart out a bit. Be nice to get comfortable with controls and response. We can drive a car around even at low speed, but not a kart. Sounds like a fun team, it would be good for the event to have it happen.

I could use a team. Heck, I gotta be there all weekend anyways.

I don't have a problem with that but Lily is the chair of the event. It would have to be early in the morning before it gets crowded though.

We can keep that in mind while we're (Art, Pete, Myself, Mike S supervising) doing course set-up on Friday afternoon.

If the course set up workers can figure out an area, I have no problem with that either.

I can't complete my scoring spreadsheet with out car information. Please update your teams with car information. I will use your last car competed in unless told otherwise.
