March 1st Sykart League
 

So I made a topic for this so we can plan our practice and all that jazz I already paid up front for it so cash would be nice

@Decay107 @asphaltfrs2014 @Ultramaroon

I was thinking next thursday for the practice they also said you can get member pricing for races that day also...but pretty sure everyone but Ultramaroon is a member

So recap Event is March 1st not sure on time
Practice Next Thurs Feb 26th around 6:30/7

any objections let me know

Awesome, down for next Thursday to practice.

In 4 Thursday hot laps. I'll member up for the cause. Do I get a sticker?

you get a head sock and a sykart card and all future races you run are kept ion their system

Nice. Costco doesn't give out head socks.

So I've got an idea for a sweet push to pass system (assuming they are running their karts slightly rich)

For extra fuel. (We could probably use propane as well)

Anyone have an old cartridge paintball/airsoft gun to donate? :D

...also bring mountain dew in spray bottles, spray it on the tires for instant grip!!!

I'll be there next Thursday with cash in hand. Looking forward to it gentlemen. We should get our own cheering section for march 1st. Haha

yeah we should also get team shirts just to make the other teams look even more like scrubs

Don't we all already have North86west shirts/sweatshirts?

I didn't ever pick one up. Kevin said they were hard to get so I didn't even try lol

Just a reminder to Team Ft86, practice is tomorrow night at 630. Look forward to seeing everybody.

GODDAMMIT! I need to move to Portland, you guys have too much fun up there.

So races are going to be Sunday from 4-9PM we are going to get 3 races then just hasn't been determined what the layout is going to be. Practice tonight might just be seat time which will be good to give @Ultramaroon a feel for the karts etc. We might be able to convince whoever is working to let us practice pitting but it probably just depends on who is working

Did you call today to see if we can practice the pitting?

nope just going to wing it

Just called sykart. He said it should work is practicing the putting but they have to fit us in with everybody else.

Leaving work now. Going to grab a bite somewhere and then head down. Depending on traffic, I'll likely be there quite early and case the joint.

See you guys there.

Only the sweatshirts are hard to get. It's just getting enough people together to make it cheap enough to be attractive. Now that spring is near I could have him price out lighter sweatshirts than the ones I did in the fall if there's any interest. To do Tshirts I like to do at least 5 at a time and I still have a few left from the failed mega meet that never happened in '13.

Good times. Glad I didn't suck. @asphaltfrs2014, sorry about whacking you. 8 weeks in that cast will be over before you know it. You'll be good as new. :thumbsup:

Poor @asphaltfrs2014, feel better dude, never seen anyone roll a gokart before... :bow:

Wait what?

No way those karts can flip.

Did someone use a turtle shell?

It looked something like this

It was brutal. Fat guy in a kart can do some serious damage.

Haha I'm fine. Shoulder was sore for just about the next race. It's all good, take out our competition on Sunday enforcer!

Grown men will be sobbing. :paddle:

No mercy everybody. Our team seemed on point last night. Looking forward to getting our names etched on the trophy and representing the ft86 community. Other club members can come and support us. We hit the track at 4pm sunday

If anyone asks we all work at 86 garage based out of Dougs 1 car garage...we now have a company

Do we get any medical or dental benefits? Just need to know when I sign the employee handbook

no medical or dental...and salary is $0 per hour

Dang, I might have to go on strike. Does that mean we have to call Doug Mr Decay now? Or just boss man?

I believe the term is indentured servitude or to use some industry verbiage "unpaid internship" You will call me sir until instructed otherwise, and the only benefits are 50% of funeral costs if you happen to meet your end while at work.* Welcome aboard everybody!

*and this is only if you can prove that it was the company's fault rather than your own.

with that said when are we changing diff fluid?

I'm planning to change mine weekend of the 7th, hopefully all the other stuff I'm waiting on will arrive by then.

what fluid are you buying? I'm thinking I need to swap brake fluid and do diff fluid at the very least before hitting the track this year

In that case I have no choice but to accept your offer.

Amsoil Severe Gear 75W-90 for the diff, Amsoil MTF 75w-90 for the trans

Anyone available for this sunday at 4-9pm? one of our races had a family emergency and we need a 4th in order to race

Joes a maybe, he's going to let me know tomorrow. I have feelers out to a couple more people.
