It was SO strange driving my 8 home - like it was a feather or something! And I felt like I wanted to drift the whole way

Nice to see you Mike! And nice to meet everyone else!


Here are my pics from the night....
















Nick and Jeremy...












I can't wait to see the videos that Brad and Nick took!!!

That WAS awesome!!! Thanks to everyone who came out; and we didn't get kicked out!

That's funny that you mention about how your car felt, I thought mine felt real sloppy and loose, and it felt like it took a lot of steering to do a little turn. haha
and great pix!

Good times, I had a lot of fun!

Unfortunately, Brad has my memory card so I won't be posting any video until tomorrow. We should have some epic clips to share.

I had to slap this together before I went to sleep. Just picked a song that sounded like 8bit nintendo. No real edit job and make sure to watch till its all the way over. Ill prob want to redo this because I ******* wish my camera was still running for this. /cry

You have to watch it to the very end after footage stops because thats what makes me laugh. Cept its sort of a creepy laugh.

Yah... keep in mind, that's through a helmet and I had the water tight cover on the camera

Also, what you can't see in the video is Brad has forced me up against that inside wall, I didn't just take that as my line.

Actually you hit the brakes, why I zoomed in in the footage. I was a good 1-2 karts behind you before you spun yourself out. Hints why I was carrying so much speed coming past you when you clipped me. I dont have TURBO BOOST.

Yeah its fun when someone wont let me pass thats what I enjoy. I think me and Mike had like 3 laps he was fighting me. While I sit on your butt I figure out the mistakes in your line than wait for you. Scott would just let me go by and that was boring. I would being very very nice out there. We are all friends, cept for Nick trying to be Washington State Patrol using the PIT on me.

You guys!!! If you want to get in on this deal, you gotta do it today!!!

This is a "Groupon" for 4 sessions at Sykart and a year membership for $40!!! Just the 4 sessions is a good deal - I think we paid $48 for 3 ($16 x 3, + 1 free) on Saturday. Sessions are $12 if you are a member. Membership for a year is $30 alone.... Click on this link to buy the coupon/Groupon.

Yes, I can do it as a gift coupon, but I'll need your full name.

Anyone -- can someone PM me with Mike's last name?????

Thanks you guys - got Mike's info now - you rock!

I bought a "Groupon" for myself too - woohoo - 1 year membership and 4 sessions! I've done one other groupon for a martini/sushi bar for me and some of my friends. It worked great and it's a great deal... they are usually 50 - 70% off.


OH... DAMMIT!! Does anyone have his email address? I forgot, I need that too..!!

Sometimes.... It says on the website that processing time varies, depending on how slammed they get. I bought mine earlier in the morning and it went through in about 30 minutes. The one I bought for Mike is still processing too. I think the first one I ever did took several hours.
