R4L Go Kart Meet 9-19-08
We are going to try this again... we are going to meet on 9-19-08 at 7:30 - 8:00 pm. For those of you who are not familiar with the previous attempt we were rained out. Some background about the place:
Well since gas is getting a bit expensive for a drive I figured we still needed to get together and do some racing. So I have done a little bit of research and found this place http://www.tampabaygp.com/ . It looks to be a good time and is reasonably priced.
Some background on the place:
Speeds up to 45mph!!!
Experience the Thrill of European-Style Outdoor Karting
If you have theNEED FOR SPEED Tampa Bay Grand Prix is YOUR PLACE TO RACE.
Unique in the Tampa Bay area, we are an European-Style Karting Center where Pros or Joes can ride a powerful Italian electric OTL Pro-Kart up to 45mph on our new challenging 1/4mile track, completely protected by TECPRO, the safest barrier system available today.
Challenge yourself or compete with your friends, partners and family in a 12 lap race. Tampa Bay Grand Prix is fully equipped with the state-of-the-art timing system OSKAR. Each lap is counted in our computerized system, the best overall lap time wins the race. At the end of each race, you will receive a sheet showing your lap times.
Check your times online, best of the week, bests of the months, and the top Pro-scores.
Juniors are welcome to Tampa Bay Grand Prix, starting from 6 years old and a minimum height of 48" to 12 years old or a maximum height of 56". They can ride a Junior Karts for a 8 lap race and ride with a parent in an Adult Race of 12 laps.
Tampa Bay Grand Prix offers:
Powerful Electric Italian Pro-Kart
Fully computerized scoreboard, timing system and multiple monitors
1/4 mile track completely surrounded by the high security TecPro barrier system
Fully organized race events for 5 to 100 people
Racing and practice open to the public
Adult League
We will probably race one session at a time unless we get enough interest to do a grand prix or something like that....

It was a lot of fun to bad more people didn't show up. We ended up having 13 people come out and race. We will have to do it again. Look for the next meet to come up soon.

^ When are you going to come get your third place medallion? You earned it 
Great meet! Also had a new Racing Equipment Vendor/Suspension Guru out talking about his new shop that opens on the 1st. Jeff is a great friend and I can't wait to see his new shop succeed.
We also had a new magazine out. Their name is Hypercarz and they hope to be all go and less show when it comes to cars. The owners have a Scion with I/H/E soon to be turbo and a Evo 9 stock soon to be... well I will say it is going to be modded very tastefully. It is a free magazine paid for by the advertisers, so when you see them out December 1st, pick one up, they're free!
