1/31/09 illinois carting

where:melrose park grand prix
http://www.mpgrandprix.com/

when: 1/31 at 7pm. meet up at 6:30pm

cost: $45 for 3 sessions which last between 8-10 min (9-12 laps) (feels a lot longer). $10 each additional session after that.
if we get 10 or more ppl it will be $35 for each person instead of $45

if u have long pants and long sleeve shirts u dont need to wear a racing suit like other places make u, if u have your own helmet, great, if not they supply you with one.

with another group on the track it take about 1-2hrs to go through the 3 sessions. its good to get a couple min breaks so you can rest.

a few ppl were interested and missed the last one, so we are doing it again.
its addicting and tones of fun.

i definitely did some drifting.... like on the 1st lap of the 1st race I took out 3 karts and got stuck in the wall. I felt like i was on the Dan Ryan.

wish it was a bit more realistic to be honest... the laps i actually slowed down to take the corners at legit speeds were some of my worst ones.

About rolling together, I'll be with Acura but my winter 91 Acura Legend.

It has rust here and there but still runs like champ.

The TL is in winter mode right now. Hehe.
