Vancouver Gokarting Meet

UPDATE: DUE TO WEATHER, THIS HAS BEEN MOVED TO SATURDAY JULY 7TH



Hello fellow Vancouver Members!


I was planning on taking a trip out to F440 this weekend because I've heard they will be closing soon. If anyone wants to join me your more then welcome too.

When: Sunday between 10am and 10:30am. I prefer the morning to avoid the little kids who show up around noon.

Where: F440 behind Splashdown Park in Tawassen. Website can be found here.

I plan on running the club karts and I suggest everyone do the same. They are the best bang for the buck on this course. You can pay extra to drive a 9HP kart but trust me, you won't be able to use all the extra speed because the course is very tight with little straights. The 6HP club karts are almost just as fast in terms of laptimes.

Also, If I could offer you all a word of warning and advice, DO NOT EAT BEFORE THE RACE. This course is very intense if your pushing hard and your body will feel the G forces big time. So this might be the day you want to skip a big breakfast or at least bring it with you.


I plan on going if the weather is good. If it turns out to be raining on Sunday morning, the shows off! Or we'll have to move it to monday. I just called F440 and confirmed they will be open this Sunday at 10am.

Anyone and everyone is welcome!

Ben
