Anyone else feel the need for speed? GKR gtg 11/22

[maxh2o]

Okay its been too long since we've had one of these. I've been both busy and poor since opening up my therapy office in Belmont.

I'm looking for the usual suspects as well as any other AZ'ers who want to come out and have a good time. If its either your first time on a track or you're a season vet, come on out. Well shoot for a 7pm start (try to get there and signed in by 6:30 to secure a spot) and do the usual after race feed at steelhead brewpub. Again all are welcome. Come on out!

Awesome man. I was going to set one up for sometime soon.

Want me to spread the word on AW norcal or will you do it? I'll spread the word around to the sideways g2g crowd that I told we'd do this too for sure.

Hey guys, when you do this what track do you use at GKR? Just curious [:)]

primarily Monza because its the more technical track. The Yokohama track when we have overflow of people (just to spice things up). Its less technical, but faster. [drive]

Gotcha... yeah Yokohama is less technical, have u tried Monza in reverse, man that's a blast & I think it's faster than the regular Monza,
you just have to ask GKR to set it up in advance because they place a chicane right before the bridge so you don't fly off to the other track [:D]
if you can get a group of 10 to race a session they might do it for you, ask Dave or Doreen if they can do this,
or if you have more than 10 drivers confirmed, why not do the supertrack, now that's the real deal [drive] [drive] [drive] [race]

Not sure if I will be there, just landed from Miami a few hours ago and not sure what work holds for me yet.

Sorry for the late notice, just got out of having to go to a meeting.

Rich~

Thanks all for showing! I think we had the biggest turnout yet! 10 audi peeps and everyone of them fast. Lots of new faces as well as the usual suspects. Great to meet D-Vic for the 1st time.

Rich took all 3 of the races, but there was quite a bit of jostling for position in the top 5 spots. All in all very exciting. We'll probably have another GKR-gtg after the holiday craziness is over (1st or 2nd week of January)

Thanks again for all who showed!

Ya guys, stay away from kart #35!!! ;-) (race two...)

Hopefully the 3rd time will be the charm for me and I'll break into the 29s!

Man it's so much fun. I can't believe I just learned about karting...I've been missing out.

Hey Vic...what did Brooks teach you? That bastard wasn't helping me and I've known him for 2 years now! ;-D

[Dolphin_Vic]

Seriously...nothing much...
all I've heard is dun brake too hard before cornering...

coz I ask him how to I turn by the last turn...He said...dun brake too hard...

Ah, ya...keeping momentum is key when you got little power..ie miata around tracks.

The humiliating part about my times are that my daily driver is a miata. [confused] Anyways, like I said, my times were actually better this time from last.[drive]

[Dolphin_Vic]

when are we going to have the next Gokart GTG?

[maxh2o]

January, probably the week after new years. Hope to see you there Vic!
