Thx for looking into the RXeckless for the GTA boys and girls! We should do this instead of the Friday night meets, do this on Friday's. I think I'm in, but man look at the cost difference for Go Kart compared to real track for 3 hours crazy how expensive this is.
Put my name down for now.
Footman you got beat Thief first, then you can come take on the champ

I believe the price are totals 2 track time, 3 track time, not each time but I still have to confirm all numbers with Anthony@Grand Prix Kartways.

Still have not heard from the other place, email bounced back today says the account's box was full, I guess I'll call them.

P.S.
You missed a get day at Shannonville, weather what weather. Bad Sushi who eat sushi, if it does not moo don't eat it! Haha

I'll try to be more precise, will that help, I know I ramble sometime?

precise |priˈsīs|
adjective
marked by exactness and accuracy of expression or detail : precise directions | I want as precise a time of death as I can get.
• (of a person) exact, accurate, and careful about details : the director was precise with his camera positions.
• [ attrib. ] used to emphasize that one is referring to an exact and particular thing : at that precise moment my brain stopped.

If you go to Formula Kartways in Brampton I am in! They are the only place that will really let you race with proper starts etc. We do this about 4-5 times a year with about 16 people it costs us about $100.00 each for 2-3 hours. We split into teams of 2 and do endurance racing!

Something about being "banned for life" from the Mini Indy place lol, just cause they dont like real wheel to wheel racing for the win All the other places that banned me for life are now gone, like the old Pro-Kart and 2 more I cant even remember the names of!

banned for life? that sounds like you did something pretty extreme al. lol

last time i went karting (at some dive in hamilton) i was so drunk i could barely walk striaght. stumbling all over the place. My friends girl friend and i had some really intense battles. slamming eachother into walls. at the end of the straight, she ended up plowing me right into the wall. I got stuck on the tires and she took off laughing.

the people that worked there didnt even care. the guy pushed me off the wall and said "damn that was a good hit" lol. and it sure was. i felt it and the hangover the next morning.

I think i'd like to go back to that one. whos in for that? drunken karting FTMFW. haha.

O.K. guys maybe I should start looking at Kart tracks where no one knows you guys.
Like in Timbuktu or somewhere closer like Buffalo, or is Buffalo to close Al, "mister banned for life". Maybe this is why Mini-Indy has not responded to my emails, is the reputation of our members proceeding us? lol

I do like Formula Kartways myself. I'm trying to get a group of people to go from work since I creamed all of them last time. 3 wins in 3 grand prix races deserves a trophy :D

It's Friday and we could be go-carting. Still no word from Formula Kartways or Mini Indy may phone Formula Kartways over the weekend to ask why no response to two emails. Just bad business! IMHO

Not worried about Mini Indy, as Al's "Banned For Life" and would like Al to be included till he gets us all "Banned For Life" from wherever we may end up.

Is this precise enough for the F.O.B.'s

Well, it looks like were not going to get enough members to get private track days. So here's another suggestion someone pick a Friday evening in December or January and whoever wants to go sign's-up. Friends and Family welcome.

Here's the price list for Formula Kartways and their address:
79 BRAMSTEELE RD. Brampton, ON L6W 3K6, Canada

^ I believe this is the same place I got the original quote from at the start of the thread.

Grand Prix Kartways

P.S. I believe in the new year I and a couple of friends will go on a Friday evening, I'll post to see if anyone else want to come.

If you guys don't want to commit to the $55 and 3 dates deal, they have all kinds of 2-for-1 or $20 per race deal practically every day of the week.

The good thing about the group package is you get standing starts, and only fellow RX-8'ers can join the race. This is important because you get some real dumbf-cks out there who can't drive worth sh-t. They weave all over the track and t-bone you. Trust me you do not want to get t-boned there, it is pretty violent. lol. They remote shutoff all the karts if somebody spin out in the corner, but sometimes in the heat of the battle they don't reach for the kill switch quick enough.

Also the karts at GP Kartways have two power level. For leagues and car clubs, they can turn the power level up a notch. It is worth a couple extra seconds a lap, which is huge.

GPK is a pretty well-run place, and from what I understand Al has not been banned from there yet. lol.
