I was talking with my father, who does not have a 86, but owned a celica back in the 70's.. he would be interested in joining us, if we decide to split into 2 groups.
looks like we have a large interest for a great event!

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.

A nice day today. Got to wash the car in the laneway. Love global warming!!!

F n A Automotive has completed testing on their flickering 4th brake light and will start selling early in the new year. Price is $110 US. They will be doing a pre buy so the price might go lower.

Cool thanks!
The plan would be anywhere from 7pm to 10pm. If we do the 2 groups plus a final race, we can make a whole night of it.

If we're doing evening, earlier the better for me since its a long way home.


I'm leaving for Nova Scotia Tuesday morning. Does anybody know of a site where I can scope out gas stations along the way? If like to stick with Shell if I can.

Shell.ca - grab their iphone or android app and it will guide you along the way

[KingGeo]

I find the app is slow, but it works

To make 2 groups I'd have my brother along, he's a car enthusiast like me, Mini Cooper S albeit, figure it counts a little since he's family. Haha

Download the GasBuddy app, works great and easy to find the nearest station if you get low.


Karting

For karting, I'm aiming for a 7pm-ish start. Even if we do 2 groups plus a final race, should only take 2-3 hours max including some waiting time in between.

Kenny, I think it would be better if we do 2 groups, so I'd rather not dissuade anyone from coming. But thanks for offering.

For the final race, we would take the 4-6 fastest from each group unless someone doesn't want to participate. We can also have a fastest lap of the evening award from all heats which would even out the kart assignments.
