should we vote or just pick one?
maybe a separate thread with a poll that would vote and tell the bigger crowd of our plans?

Hi Guys,
Hope everyone enjoyed Christmas!
I went through the last few pages to count up attendance and also enjoyed the Christmas beauties too while I was at it (you win Ken

)

Looks like January 24th is best for everyone so I will go with that.
I won't post elsewhere as it looks like we have a full group already!
15 + 2 maybe's.

I'm always parked at the far end away from everyone. LOL

Sounds like you have a good boss! :P And who in their right mind wouldn't park away from everyone else in this day and age where most people can't drive to save their lives and when so many people just don't care. lol.

We should be able to make it an evening thing, that's the plan anyway.

To reserve a time slot, should we prepay? Last time we had to wait until everyone arrived and paid - we started 2 hours later than planned.

Prepaying is the only way to get a reservation.

So with the warm weather and dry roads I took my BRZ out of hibernation for its first drive in months. Aaahhhhh I feel better now.

While running a few errands I even got a few "nice car" comments in the parking lot. I love my BRZ.

KingGeo · 12-27-2014, 04:45 PM

Anyone? Spotted at IKEA.

I reached out to my contact yesterday re; TopKarting.

So, the max # of karts on track at one time is 14, our list below shows 16 + 2 maybe's.

JVincent
FRS_Ken
UMB_FR-S & Pauline
KingGeo
AznKirby - maybe
Normancw
Headbanger
Pushrod - maybe
The_Understated
Jhx741
OrangeGuitar
RabidWalrus
FT86Chris
Chico
CarGuy
86gt?
DNAist

So we have a few options:

We could trim down to 1 group of 14

or get some more folks and make it 2 groups of 12-14 each.

I'm up for the latter but will leave it up to the group to decide.

If the 2 maybe's firm up, then we only need 6 more to make it to 2 groups. I would prefer we keep it all "86", but I know I can get a few more to show up from outside of the club if needed t make our minimums.

We can possibly get the top contenders to do a final shootout, but that would be extra cost for those folks.
This would be another race, can be a regular 70-lap or maybe just a short one (but with the top ft86club members only).

Cost?

Waiting on my contact there to let me know.

It is usually $60 each for a qualy + 70-lap race, but we can get a discount from that. Will report back on the pricing shortly.

And yes, we'll book it firm to secure our time slots.
