Maine Indoor Karting - $11 races in October

[nhbubba]

How about this week? Anyone able and willing to go?

Sure. Any day but thursday the 16th works for me. I can be there a little after 6 PM.

[SVRACER01]

10/22 for this right?


jerseygirl (I am going to whoop all your asses)
Roland (screw the meatball flag, I'm not letting jerseygirl pass me without a fight)
NHBubba (the gas is which pedal again?)
SVRACER01 (if kerri doesnt put herself into the wall then ill help her)

[virtualbong]

Put me in as tentative. I may have work responsibilities and will not know until later this week.

I would probably head up early to avoid traffic and have a beer or two beforehand if anyone was up for it.

I could do tomorrow, Wed 15th, and I would likely be there slightly after 6 as well. What do you say?

Works for me. Let's not tell Kerry or Oxx so we can get practice and beat them next week.

[nhbubba]

Wednesday PM, 6-ish.. I'll be there. Likely on 2 wheels.

[rolker]

Likely on 2 wheels.

Good idea!

[tls25rs]

I'll be there as close to 6 as possible but in the cage

I'm going to check their site: Do we bring our own helmets? Do we have to wear stupid over suits that never are large enough for me?

you can bring your own helmet, and IIRC they dont do full suits unless youre in shorts, just a jacket. Kerri wore her motorcycle jacket. so bring a lid and a jacket just in case

[jerseygirl]

Yup....definitely bring your own helmet! And I did wear my motorcycle jacket.

So this is happening both weeks? I am out tomorrow, but am still in for next week. Trying to round up TDiloren and Gino as well!

[caloots]

Shit.. I thought this was during the day. So 6PM?
I might be able to go..

[nhbubba]

Bring the helmet. Wearing your own beats the snot out of the loaners they offer up.
If you have a camera mount for it, they'll allow that too.
They make you wear the goofy jacket, but no pants unless you are in shorts. I think I prefer the loaner jacket over my MC gear.

[nhbubba]

I'm in for two days; this wednesday and next.

[Larry]

In for tomorrow.

[caloots]

So it's11 bux a race for walk in?
Are we walkins or is someone calling ahead to organize

[nhbubba]

I'm walking in. Last time there was a lot of standing around waiting. But such is life.

[rolker]

OK, so backing it in didn't quite work...

[tls25rs]

OK, so backing it in didn't quite work...

I'm not sure didn't quite work is accurate. It worked very well for those of us wanting to pass you.

[jerseygirl]

ok so now that you guys got the practice in, let's do this next week. Was it crowded? How many races did you guys do? I am hoping that will let us start the way we did and then I will watch Oxx to what he does to get those launches!

[caloots]

i think im in for weds next week !.

[rolker]

We ended up doing 5 races. It wasn't very crowded so when we got off track, we waited maybe 5-10 minutes before going out again. Just enough time to rest a bit and discuss my unique lines.

[caloots]

we on for next wends ? 6PM ?

[caloots]

did yous call before heading there ? or did you take chances !?

TIPS

Be prepared to show photo ID for proof of age.
Wear closed-toed comfortable shoes (we also have rental shoes, if needed)
Long pants are preferred, but not required
Allow about an hour for a race.
The check-in process takes about 20 minutes and there is sometimes a wait for track time.
We encourage you to call ahead to see what the track wait looks like.
Sometimes the track is rented out to private events and we can help you avoid lengthy waits.
Most drivers average 18 laps/race – can you fit in more?
Want to have reservation privileges and race at discounted prices?

We did not qutie have run of of the place. Not enough to do the gridded start. Although we didn't ask. But it was not crowded at all. The 16 y/o girl at the desk told us that Wednesday is probably the best day for us to do this. I think there were three groups and we got 5 races in two and a half-ish hours. There were only 4 of us, so they mixed a local ringer in who schooled all of us. Like +1 sec on our times easy. It was fun.
