BC RX-8 Event - TBC Indoor Kart Racing (Saturday, January 24, 2009)


Happy New Year, everyone!

I hope your RX-8's survived through BC's record breaking snowfall!

It's January, and keeping with traditions, we're going to do an indoor GoKarting event! And afterwards, we'll go grab some dinner! Grin

Also, this year we're going to have prizes!

Date: Saturday, January 24, 2009
Time: 5:00pm
Location: TBC Indoor Kart Racing (2100 Viceroy Place, Richmond, BC)
TBC's Webpage: http://www.tbcir.ca
Price: $40 for 3 races

We're not going to reserve the track to ourselves... I'll just phone in and pre-register the people who've signed up. And since this is a weekend afternoon, I'll need to pre-register a few days in advance to make sure we get our desired time.

So, PLEASE REGISTER BY Tuesday, January 20, 2009 @ 2:00pm!!!

Register Here Only BC RX-8 Members can register. If you have problems logging in, please contact me.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

I was there in May 2008! At that indoor go-kart place!
Damn, we need something like that in Toronto for the rx8 people here... we need to organize a go-karting event as well...

Wish I was in BC, your club is awesome.

It's a bit out of the way for you GTA people but Hamilton has a pretty indoor place.


Hi-jack over, please return seats and trays to their normal position.

Summer's usually our more active times. That may be around the time we schedule our drive out to Whistler! Stay tuned. We'll be discussing 2009's events in the upcoming weeks.

can I come to the whistler drive in a shitty Budget rental?

Tubingchamp, I showed up last year to a wash/shine event at some self-wash bay near Royal-something drive in Burnaby... There I met Him, and Gyrobot. I was in a rental Ford Focus!

Updated the header.... it was sorely needed.

Hey I want to toss in an idea!

Something that is different and a lot more fun is a prize for second place, and a prize for second to last place! No prize for first place (Besides bragging rights).

This makes it interesting for the top racers and the worst racers. Since everyone has a chance at a little something.

Prizes like this, usually make a much more enjoyable atmosphere! and spirit!

I'd cruise in a gokart, but I don't really like it

Sorry bros!!

Footman if you come by this summer I'll give you a cruise in my car Should have the S/C on by then.. *fingers crossed*
The little crapboxes that tried to keep up with us on the cruise last time just got passed one by one

If you are talking about the Petitt Supercharger Stage 2 CS, then YES I will take up your offer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am pretty much coming for sure because my cousin is getting married on Aug 1. That is a Saturday, I hope it's not on that day you guys are doing the cruise....

but then again, this is too early now,and it's all speculation!

Missing out dude! it's not like GoKarting alone, you'll be amongst your friends! and you get to show off and improve your driving skills.

Remember... better driving skills = Better driving ability! (That means.... I hope you are a safe driver hahahaha)

Way too much effort to go and do it thanks though

FYI... When people put pressure on me it makes me want to do it less

I just never liked this kind of thing, gokarts, or riding lawn mowers, ATVs, dirtbikes, seadoos, or that kinda crap... Dislike amusement park rides too.... :D
