original thread below

I also got a coupon for a buy-one-get-one arrive & drive race



anyone down? I'm free this entire week (vacation) and can otherwise do weekends

the track is available for most, if not all of the day this saturday and sunday

[breakdirt916]

also, does anyone remember the fastest way around each of the turns are?

Full throttle? The only time my foot came off was in the corkscrew

i was there this past Saturday for a bachelor party. We did 2 races. Started in the lead in the 1st race and won by 2 laps. Started the 2nd race in last (11th). Was in 1st after 3 laps and won by half a lap.

you are just a karting god Tim.

[Daytona440]

My best time was at 20.2. not bad considering i haven't raced there in several years, and haven't karted at all this past year. I used to be able to run consistent sub 20's for an entire race...

[Daytona440]

Damn skippy. There is no doubt in my mind that I could get around NHIS faster in a kart than I could on a bike...LOL

[DuncanMoto]

I was just talking to someone about this for Jan. 23rd-ish.

Someone set it up.

Perhapse we can negotiate a discount for a large group? Do they do that? In this ecconomy all you really need to do is ask.

Weak. Mid 19's for me. I think Oxx wanted to kick my ass after I got through with him.

I'd love to go, but it's so damn expensive

Depending on how much interest there is a Mini-Grand Prix or endurance race might be fun.

[Nate Dawg]

I'm game!

[ku996r]

I got few gift certs and ready to rock, count me in.

[noxin]

I'm up for that

[breakdirt916]

well, I definitely want to go this weekend...possibly Saturday ~lunch time to use that buy-1-get-one coupon in the cafe too

I also can't go Saturday 1/24 because I'll be skiing

but if people want to go Sunday 1/25, I could probably work something out

[nt650hawk]

I loved going on Sundays. They used to have “if you post the fastest lap for the hour you got a free appetizer”. I never went hungry on Sundays.

WTFO baby with a little bit of drift. Lap 1 is always interesting with this maneuver.

19-20's on T1 depending on the configuration

Low 15's consistantly on T2.

[breakdirt916]

which one's better?

Friday night 1/23 or Sunday 1/25?

I can do both

[TheIglu]

I may be in. I was in low 16's on T2 my first race on it. Won by a LOT over some local hot-shoes. Those guys were pissed.

I'm bringin my leathers

[jcbell1007]

I did a quick race with my sister in laws BF about 2 months ago. had a great time.

NEVER take your foot off the gas, full throttle and take that turn with the brake


Shit's getting deap in this thread

yep...I don't remember it well, but I found the fastest way around the corkscrew was slightly tapping the brake to spin the back end around while the other foot always stayed on the gas

[breakdirt916]

and I'll call tomorrow to get some info on pricing and track times

[breakdirt916]

what time works for you guys?

ok, I spoke with Andy in Sales over the phone and since we only have 8-12 people, he recommended the mini grand prix. The endurance race is typically for groups of 20 or so

on Sunday 1/25:

track 1 (min 8 people, max 10) is free from 11am - close

track 2 (min 10 people, max 12) is free from 2pm - close

I'd say 2pm is good...it gives you the opportunity to save money and eat lunch at home, gives an hour for you to drive there, and it doesn't matter if we have anywhere between 8-12 people, because both tracks are available at that time

He said it was $80/person, and they don't offer any discount, but I asked if there were discounts for students (I'm in grad school) and he said that would take 20% off.

So when it's all said and done, it's $64/head and we get 45 laps (3 ten lap races, 1 final 15 lap race) for 30 mins

and if we book more than 14 days in advance we have to pre-pay 50% of the cost up front, then the other 50% within 14 days of the event. if we book w'in 14 days of the event, we pre-pay the whole thing

here's the roster

1. Bhavesh
2. Noxin
3. TheIglu + leathers
4. Daytona440
5. McBiggity
6. TriumphDog

7. DuncanMoto (won't know until Sunday morning)

nt650hawk - spectating (c'moooon...that won't be fun! )

we need at least 1 more person to book track 2, and at least 3 more to book track 1....anyone else?? R7? oreocabrio?

[Kurlon]

What's it take to get both tracks combined?

[nt650hawk]

No Snow.

[noxin]

I've never been on track2, is it better than track1?


Heh, one of the guys at work may be coming. I'll post up once I know for sure.
