Thanks to all the folks who are giving me a heads up, really appreciate it! Really hope you guys can make it.

If it makes it easier to some folks, I can also take paypal, just PM me and I can send you the details.

If we end up having "standby" people who can take the slot then its great and you will get your deposit back, but if not and he takes a hit for it, well that is just not a nice thing to do.

Yes, I appreciate the sentiment. I enjoy organizing these things for you guys but won't be able to for long if I can't afford it (my modding money on the line here haha )

I might be getting there around the same time, ~6:30-7, depending on traffic, will meet you guys there. I think there's more places by downtown, although parking can be a PITA.

Let me know if anyone has bought this and wants to split the cards and I'll buy one off you for $19. Hell I'll give you $20 for the trouble of going to get it and cause it's easier than breaking a $20.

Due to circumstances, I'd like to race back-to-back groups too and bail earlyier. If I have to pay more, I'm ok with that. Remaining time at work has been murder completing projects and finding new owners. I'm tired.

Ill get your paypal info tonight then. I hate going to the bank and then would have to stop somewhere to break it

[BlaineWasHere]

Super fun! Thanks Brian for hooking this up!!!

[BigFatFlip]

Hope everyone had fun tonight! I know I did. Sorry had to run, gotta get up early tmrw for work.

Lots of action, my slow ass got passed ALOT, Blaine kicked all our asses AGAIN! Epic battle with Pmok, lots of "rubbin is racin". Other than the crazy hassle dealing with the deposit (I hope everyone got their money back) I would say it was a pretty big success.

Thanks to @denkigrve for the boba, really too bad you couldn't join us.

I guess the only thing left is GoKartRacer to finish the trifecta! maybe in a couple months, I'll organize Gokarting #3...maybe...

[finch1750]

Hella fun tonight (my first time karting). Never knew it would be so tiring. lol. Thanks BFF for setting it all up.

[BlaineWasHere]

Yeah, I made it home without my arms falling off. lol

[Bach415]

Well.. this sucks... I reviewed the videos on my gopro and apparently I knocked the camera closer towards the helmet before the race and didn't notice. The view is only on me and the kart. Nothing else. Sorry Chris, @overlookedx, I don't have a footage of you drifting around or my chase against Jesse @MyRx.Other than that, it was fun and challenging!
