Karting night?

[FROSTY]

INDOOOR KARTING AUCKLAND RACEWAY 6.45 SATURDAY 6/9/2008
I'VE booked Auckland Raceway Far end of The Concourse in Henderson
for a bit of go kart action.
with the numbers we have sighned up its going to be a teams event 2 drivers per kart. FOLKS ITS NOW UP TO YOU LOT TO LET YOUR WALLETS DO THE TALKING AND DECIDE HOW LONG WE RACE FOR
We can do a 30 minute race for $45 per person -thats 15 minutes per driver
40 minurte for $55 per person-20 minutes a driver
One hour for $75 per person -30 minutes per driver

To give you an idea 30 minutes is going to be about 100 laps indoors

Gear wise I'd suggest bring your own helmet if ya dont want to wear a hair net thingee. otherwise just normal clothes are fine.
Anyone wanting to join me afterwards for a drink we will be going to THE HANGER which is about halfway down Central Park Drive Henderson (about 8.00-8.30) There is a dress code so a change of shirt and halfway decent trou might be in order

[Qkchk]

Me and Steve-O, dont think we will be going down to the Cold Kiwi now.

Im sure Speedy (if not on rostered shift) will have to come back to contend 'THE TITLE', cause the Qkkies kicked ass @ Silverdale in the last KB Kartfest.

Have you got an estimate on costs Frosty?

[FROSTY]

usuallly a squirt costs $45.00
really it depends on how many and what format

[Hoon]

Yep I'm in!! Was spose to go to Wanganui that weekend for a rugby trip but now its been postponed to the following weekend YAY!!

I will be there for sure, and will hit my flat mates up and see if they are keen.

[Qkkid]

[Qkchk]

:finger::shake:

[racer40]

[glice]

I'm still keen.

[tipper]

There is a 'nice' little 'bar' down the Concourse road, complete with chrome plated poles for a drink afterwards, but maybe the HANGER would be better

[Pumba]

Its now Pumba + 2, Flatys are dead keen

[FROSTY]

COOL as --er about the "nice little bar" --hmm no I think I wount be going there in any great hurry.

[racer40]

I dont know what the carts are like at this place. but I really banged up my helmet on the back of my cart at the track in silverdale. be warned if your taking a nice helmet. perhaps put some masking tape on it.

Guys n gals
Ok the actual racing should take about an hour and a half by the time we finish fluffing around.
The EXACT format for the night will be decided at 6.30 and is dictated by how many front to race.
6-10 -sprint races
12-20 teams relay race -2 drivers per team
20+ TEAMS RELAY 3 PER TEAM (longer race)

Afterwards yep we are heading to THE HANGER which is down Central Park Drive. There we can celebrate our great battles of the night.

Great night last night, flatties were a bit shocked at how competative we all became once the flag dropped compared to relaxed everyone was upstairs before hand, ohh and the bullshit after the race shocked them a bit as well (not that I was making excusses; but that F@!kn computer somehow manged to cock up my lap scoring:angry2:)
