May 19 "Car Club Challenge" Karting at Lemans

Hey Folks, just gaging some interest. Lemans karting in Fremont started doing "Car Club Challenges" which is really just a weekend morning enduro that pits teams from different car clubs. Here's the details (I will update if anything changes)
  • Sunday, May 19
  • 2 ½ hour team endurance event
  • 8:00am arrival
  • 5 drivers per team @ $75 per driver
  • Teams must wear Club shirts on race day
  • Random kart draw
  • Minimum 9 pit stops (each driver does two stints during race)
  • Minimum 15 minutes drive time for each driver
  • Drivers are responsible for their own team communications and race strategies
  • Car show in parking lot
  • Food, prizes, and more
It sounds like a lot of fun, but I myself may not be able to make it to this event (plus its a little pricey for me) but wanted to let people know if there was any interest. Feel free to use this thread to organize a team and make FT86club proud I know there are some fast guys out there from the last karting meet, lol

I was by no means fast at the last get together. I think we should field an all girl-team (generally lower body mass, better teamwork) and the guys will come as cheerleaders! LOL

yeah, at that price point I'd expect the other clubs/competitors to be at the top of their game, and highly competitive. I don't think I am at that level and wouldn't want to disappoint other team members who are.

But yeah I'd be down for just the club t-shirt.

If you guys don't have tshirts already, I know someone who could make them for cheap if enough people are willing to buy
