Well since gas is getting a bit expensive for a drive I figured we still needed to get together and do some racing. So I have done a little bit of research and found this place http://www.tampabaygp.com/ . It looks to be a good time and is reasonably priced. www.rotary4life.com would like to invite you to join the fun



Some background on the place:

I believe this could be a lot of legal fun and if a few of us like it enough we can start racing in the league they hold (more details later)... So on that note who is in to do this on July 25th?

Oh this sounds like such a great time! Be sure to get some amusing pics

 

My buddy and I race there every other Thursday. Have been for the past 8 months. It's a nice track. They just recently changed the track up a bit for the better. The carts hit about 40 and most have good cornering abilities. Dont go during the mid day because the tires get too hot and the karts slide. Go late evening. If i'm off i'll be there

 

awesome.... we are planning on going around 7:30 - 8 pm... is that easier for you to make?

 

I'm off so anytime is good.

 

Well we are 3 days away from this meet anyone else interested? I will be contacting the place tonight to see if we can get a group rate. I will keep you updated. We are going to try and meet at 7:30 - 8:00 pm and start driving around 8:15.
