Here in the Bay Area you do the same thing though. "It's backed up from the MacArthur Maze to the Nimitz..." and the poor guy from Cleveland listening on the radio is going "WTF?"

I guess since the other place has slippery roads, this GoKartRacer will be the best option. Here is the website for people. You can get information, and the address here: http://www.gokartracer.com/

Location and time are above. GoKartRacer @ 11am. If you can't show up until later, that is fine. I personally have to leave by 2 at the latest, so thats why I put down 11am. Either time, it would be nice to see everyone.

Here's my suggestion:
Meet at GoKartRacer at 11am. They have a small parking lot south of the main building that people can park in. Lockers take a quarter so be sure to bring one. If it's your first time there are some computers to the right of registration where you sign up and enter your personal info. Everyone meets, says hi and signs up for a practice event. After the event we group up, discuss driving techniques and bragging rights. If people are up for it we try another practice event and see if we can apply those driving techniques we discussed. Afterwards we relocate to a nearby establishment for lunch and chat some more.

Ill be there....hopefully. I have work at 11 but everyone already knows that i run on "filipino time" so it shouldn't be a big deal. BTW I just posted a new thread with some pix, anyone care to comment?

so I think we ended up having 5 peeps or so show up Saturday. Basically just checked out the 2 turbos, went to gokartracer for a practice session, then headed up to San Mateo (BJs) for lunch. Nice meeting Ryan and Alan and good to see Mike and Robin again.

My times were faster than others but that's just a function of more training and seat time. My best time was actually 0.71 seconds slower than the last time I was on that track, so I definitely did not "rule" anything.

Karting was a blast. I'd love to do it at least once a month. Maybe we can do it again sometime in Jan, and get more people out this time. Although it was a rainy day, the track is inside, so its not a big deal. Great seeing all that were able to come!
