Title: GPNY - October 19 or 26
Post by: goldenchild on October 06, 2008, 12:22:04 PM
I wanna go race go carts. I'd like the NYMMC to race go carts together. Who's available to go race go carts on the 19th (that's a Sunday) or the 26th (that's a Sunday too). It's indoors so weather is not a factor.

Here's the info (http://www.gpny.com). First round of drinks afterwards is on me (drinks can either be drinks, coffee, pop, whateves).

IN-

- me

As a reminder, THIS IS NOT a Usual Suspect only event.. wouldn't want people feeling discouraged after seeing all the US's posting up. Come one, come muthafukin all!

That said, we can go either the 19th or the 26th, either day is fine with me, I just wanna go race some carts... can I live?!

October 26 it is!!

IN -

- me
- Cru + wifey
- Tommy
- Dizzzzzzzzzzzzzz
- Beattie - OH SNAP!!
- Pete
- IG +
- Mookie +
- GotDuc
- CDawg
- The Count



Anyone else? The more the merrier! There's nothing like stuffing your friend into the wall... well worth the black flag!!

I figure we all show up at 12 noon. For those that haven't been there before, you should show up a bit earlier so that you'll have time to register and watch the mandatory intro video. As CDawg mentioned, don't forget to bring your riding helmet. Not sure how many races you all wanna do but be warned... the races only last for about 15 laps and after the first 2 races you'll already be pretty tired. I'm by no means an expert as I only went one time and my arms were sore for 3 days afterward (we only did 4 races).

Afterwards we can go get some food.  :)

We're looking to show up at noon. If you've never been, show up earlier to register. Bring your riding helmets, you'll need them cause I'm going to put you into a wall ;D.

Next week folks, don't forget!

I'll hang with you!  My current plan (depending on weather) is to ride up, watch you guys race a couple of laps, have a soda and keep riding.

The experience of putting your friend into the wall is well worth the plenty of a black flag. Besides, they'll only cut your power if the move was over the top blatant, and only after your 1st black flag.

Like I told the guys last time - as far as I'm concerned, it's not whether you win or lose, I could care less about that. What matters is how you play the game and frankly I like to play dirty [cheeky]

I might have to bail this weekend. My ankle is still sore and I just spent a ton of money getting a new PS3 so I can get ROCK BAND 2. The money would probably be better spent getting a new helmet anyway. I do want to go and it`s probably going to be a blast.

Cdawg,

Can I tag along (weather permitting)?  My wrists are feeling better...did a little local riding a couple of weekends ago and it doesn't seem to interfere with my riding at all.

Keep me posted.

Yeah it would.

You'll have to wear the suit that they provide for you (flame retardant), but definitely bring your helmet!

About how many races do you think the group should do ?  I just checked the GPNY promotion they're currenlty having 4 races for $80, the "arrive and drive" rate is normally $25 per race.  Are you folks members ?

GPNY is this Sunday!!.

For those that are leaving from the city, we're meeting up in Bklyn (here (http://hopeandanchordiner.com/)) for breakfast at 9am and if you want to make the journey, you're more than welcome to join us. I still may be riding up there, but I probably won't make my decision until the morning of.

Breakfast or not, the goal is for everyone to meet up at GPNY at 12 noon! Don't forget to bring your riding helmets!

Attention!

Dear fellow NYMMC'ers,
Apparently the track at GPNY isn't available until 2:30pm due in part to a private party (I think) and my lack of planning. Anyhow, we (Cru & I) have elected to postpone the NYMMC GPNY meet for a later date. Instead, we're planning on riding since the forecast is supposed to be glorious. Anyone interested in riding along with us, feel free to meet us at Southside Coffee (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=652+6th+Avenue+11215&sll=41.377905,-74.689019&sspn=0.075868,0.153122&g=652+6th+Avenue+11215&ie=UTF8&z=16&iwloc=addr) in Bklyn at 9:30am. If you're planning on coming along, remember to dress warm since we might be out for a while. Due to current road conditions, I'd call this ride a "B".
If you can't make the meet in Bkyln but would still like to come along for the ride, PM me tonight and we'll figure out where to meet you en route.

My apologies to anyone that's gone out of their way in setting aside time to go to GPNY, I suppose I should've planned it better... whoops.
