Our second event at Oakland Valley. This is truly an exceptional day of Karting. If you've never tried, this is your opportunity for some excellent fun! We're on the track ay 11:00 AM so those leaving from the NYC area should plan leaving around 9:00 AM to leave some time for the brief classroom instruction. The track provides all the equipment (vests, gloves, jacket and neck support), however you should try to bring your own helmet if at all possible.

This will be the only opportunity for the NE Region to regain ANY semblance of dignity after the shellacking they too at the hands of the NY/CT Region back in February (not to mention the Yankees just days ago ;) ) </font>

Well I see the date changed. Three of us as of now. Any age limits?
Last year Jr. Ms. Spirit made the trip and drove her own Kart. She did pretty well!

There is a limited number of drivers that we can accomodate, so we'll need to take reservations soon.

We get the track all to ourselves for a few hours...and trust me, after a several 20 minute sessions, you are BEAT.

That is what I thought. If I recall correctly, wasn't your daughter there as well? I think someone had told me that but I can not remember. Anyway, I am in for this one with Dana and my younger brother Dimitri.

KEITH + 2

Scott, what happened to my post? I thought that was a good one.....

AC
Well...it was funny! LOL

When I tried to change the title to the correct date (after you made fodder of my "timing" ;) ) I was past the website editing deadline. So I asked Jay to make the change of dates in the title for me. He did, but I guess he also deleted the first few humorous posts too. &lt;shrug&gt;

I don't know how you guys do this stuff on holiday weekends. I have about 75 people in the neighborhood coming over my house the day before. I'll need all day Sunday to get things back to normal.

Best wait till Monday, and call the 75 people back over to help with the cleanup. See, problem solved.

Wizard

Noble Ken


The reigning NY/CT/NE Region Champion has expressed his compassion with the NE Region's FEAR of participating in this competition. In that regard, he has pledged to use only a mild hand in WHIPPING NE asses this time around. ;)

<font color="red"> A few scheduling changes:

Oakland Valley has asked that we better our chances of holding the event by making the start time later. Since they expect rain on Saturday, they want the track to be dry.

Sooooo:

We need to arrive at NOON and we will have the track till they close (which is far more time than anyone can stand). Let's make our meeting time at the Ardsley Rest Area (immediately after the first Thruway toll) for 11:00 AM.

I'll be speaking with them late Saturday and will post if we're being cancelled due to rain.
