Total 25 (as of Jan.23)



So far we have 20 participants but need 24 for the 2 groups we plan to run.
We would like to get more FT86 folks out with us or at least people known to the members (relatives or friends). I'm sure we can come up with 4 more.
We can also go up to 28 people (2 groups of 14) if there is more interest.

Please post up the names is anyone else is attending and I will update the list.


Schedule

Everyone should arrive for 6:30pm. This gives time to get organized prior to the first race around 7pm.

We will divide the participants into 2 run groups. It will be mixed so that novices and experienced karters will be in each group.

• Group 1 qualy 10 laps
• Group 1 Race 70 laps

• Group 2 qualy 10 laps
• Group 2 Race 70 laps

The top 3 drivers from each group will be invited to the final race to determine the final event winner and podium.

Final Race - 25 laps for top 6 drivers

We should wrap up around 9pm or so, after the final shootout race.


Cost?
It is usually $60 each for a qualy + 70-lap race, but we can get a small discount from that at $55 each. This also includes a drink (non-alch) and covers the final shootout race so no one has to pay extra for that.

I'll update this first post with the attendee list as we firm things up.

Since we need to book the venue firm, I will prepay for the first 24 participants and everyone can pay me back, hopefully in advance of the event. I will mark the attendee list for those who have paid as we go.

Payment options are:

• cash (can drop by the shop at 2161 Thurston Drive)
• Interac email transfer to slick66@rogers.com

Slick Automotive Solutions will supply trophies to the winner of the final shoot-out race and also a fastest lap of the night award (in any heat). These trophies will be limited to FT86club members only.

I am so looking forward to this! Although doubting I'll make the final 6

I'm in first place so far! :)

@The_Understated
Bring him!



@KingGeo
The more the merrier!



@jhx741
Sounds good!

Ill confirm with my possible +2
if all of these above confirmed, would that make us full/24? do we want 28?

I'm loading up on Shell's and Star boost power, might as well dress up as Mario too.. Feel my wrath folks!

Damn you!
I was actually going to bring my mario suit

Just wondering how big the trophy is so that I can figure out whether I'll need to bring the trailer with me to get it home :D

Big!!! How big is your trailer?

Will there be handicaps for the weight-challenged driver? lol

Awyeah. Bring it on!

Confirmed, my brother is in!

I have a friend in MTL who is actually in a karting league. I could always ask him if we need another person or two.

Hi George,
I have committed at 24 but we can go up to 28, maybe 30. TopKarting may add a driver or two to our run groups, so the more we have means less outsiders. (Depending on the day, they run max # of karts at 14 or 15).

So far, we're still at 20, and with your +2 will put us at 22.

You should, I don't own one.. but i have a mario hat i'll wear.. under the helmet?

Can we bring out own helmets?

So the GF is not sure about running with all you crazy animals.... I'll see if anyone else is interested. It would be nice to have runs with only our groups.

Yes, bring your own helmets. Otherwise, you'll have to use hair-nets with their helmets.

No problem.
I'm not worried as I can send a shout-out for a few more guys last minute if need be.

If we need an extra guy my friend is in, but only if he can win the trophy. He's not a member of the club, but he's a member of the site. Does that count?

Thought I posted yesterday but it's not showing on Tapatalk. My brother is confirmed to come. We'll be there the 24th

Updated first post with paid participants.
@The_Understated I added your brother to the list a few days ago.

Yes, sure! Invite him!

It's kinda borderline (since he's a forum member), but only the top 3 from each group will go to the Shootout race, so I think we should limit that to our known Ottawa members.

Cool, I'll either stop by the shop or transfer you the money later this week @Slick Thanks for getting this all organized!

Updated first post for payments.

We are at 21 people now.
I should have added my own name from the start, lol.:bonk:

Sent ya some money ;) Add me to the list when you get it!

I have a buddy who wants in. Drives a Ram tho

Sign him up!

Done, thank you.

Never mind, backed out

Ram owners.. sheesh .. Im kidding.. lol BUY ONE!

I will probably show up but no karting for me. Bought in august so havent seen any1 from the M&M meets or wtv you guys are up to.

Prolly the loudest frs in town right now and im a frenchy :D

Indeed there are many rites of passage to become a member of our elite group. You must be able to do a perfect burn out that results in the shape of "8 6" in the pavement, and be able to spell "Calabogie Motorsports Park" backwards with no mistakes.

Actually, none of that is true. You should come karting anyways :thumbsup:

Were back down to 21.
A few open spots still.

Get your friends out! (before I call the ringers like 1morelap Greg)

Paid attendees updated.

I'll see if I can convince a couple of friends to join us.

Any idea if this promo would be applied? It's posted on their facebook page, it looks like the colder it gets a higher discount is applied.

New rule. If you show up in an FRS/BRZ on Saturday and do not have a club sticker on it, automatic back of the grid! Lol

Do I get bumped up a few spots if I have extra ones?

Btw, I will have stickers with me if anyone wants any.
$10/each before the event, $1 each after.:laughabove:

The promo doesn't apply to Saturday evenings as far as I know, but I am asking anyways.

Updated first post for paid participants.

:(

Glad you mentioned the GoPro, going to see if my brother has his handy. Might as well get some good shots!

I've got a friend that is confirmed for tomorrow. Will he need to prepay or is it OK to bring payment to the event? Looks like this is shaping up to be a great event :)
