I was talking with blksf8 about this when a few of us went karting. (See Bay Area Meet thread) Currently we have this monthly meet every 2nd week of the month at Dave & Busters that no one ever goes to because it gets boring FAST. How about a new meet where we alternate monthly go-kart sessions between the Fremont one (Le Mans) and the Burlingame one (Gokartracer) ? I think this method is better than the usual meet and greet we once had at D&B. Another idea that I was thinking about was having a track day tossed in there somewhere to perhaps alleviate the imminent monotony of go-karting.

Anyways, feel free to voice your opinions, suggestions or whatever rocks your boat regarding this topic.

BTW GO KARTS NEED POWA STEERING!

 

I just dont understand why you guys dont want to go for a drive in the rx8's...

Why on earth would you buy an rx8 only to park it in front of a go kart place?

 

I would love to go for a drive, but the roads are very wet and its the season where wet roads dont mix with spirited driving for our cars anyways. Again, its only a suggestion for a new monthly meet activity. You did bring up a good idea cleoent. We could add a drive somewhere in the Bay so a new revised meet for next year could look like this:

Jan: Go kart (Le Mans)
Feb: Go kart (Gokartracer)
Mar: Drive through Napa
April: Go kart (Le Mans)
May: Drive through Highway 9

What do you guys think ? Days will be on the weekends. (Saturdays ?)

 

It depends on the age group. The rx8 is still relatively knew so I wouldn't expect a bunch of teens behind the wheels at these meets, in which case rain really shouldn't be a factor... but.. i do get your point.

Highway 9 is not the only fun road around here and with all the police activity it wouldn't be much fun.

 

Because a kart track is a good place to become a better driver. That's also why I drive my RX-8 to autocross events. The RX-8 is a fun tool. Don't you want to know how to use that tool to the best of its abilities?

You're preaching to the choir my friend.

Accept for the fact that I think it's childs play driving around some cones in parking lot. Hit up the track, thunderhill or button willow for some real fun and learning.

 

Been there, done that. Repeatedly. Have you autocrossed? Both require skill but it's easier for an autocrosser to transition to track days than vice versa.

So is there a meeting every month?

When?

 

I'm not sure if there is a monthly meeting, but there is a meet/go kart racing on the 21st of January.

 

There is also a Doc Wong drive on 01/21 and it's FREE!!

I will be there more than likely... Anybody wants to join or plan a RX8 drive? How about 01/22?

so how many do we have meeting at gokartracer on the 21st? I'll be there for sure and will bring the group discount coupon.

 

well, for me, it doesnt really matter, so just give me a time and place and i'll be there. I'm one of those people that will do whatever so yeah, just tell me when.

 

I might be able to make it this time.

 

Yeah, same here.

 

To those who are posting here instead of the sticky thread, if you are still interested in the meet this Saturday 21st, please give a heads up...in the sticky thread. Thanks.

 

im for sure in for this
