Couple of friends and I are going to pro-kart in Burnsville this Friday (12-7-7). If anyone wants to join us it will be a good time. We will be there from 7:45 PM-11 PM.
Nick (Zurno) you should show up and teach us what you have learned from the MAC league!

Ooooohh, Me, Me, I have been dying to get out to a Kart track.
Do you have it reserved or just have a rough time frame you're going down there?
Do they run Gasloine at this one? It stinks but it's still fun. I am a definite probable.

We don't have it reserved. We will be down there from 8-11 roughly. We are going to leave rochester at 6:15 pm (leave from my house) and it will take 1.25 hours to get there.They run the karts on alcohol. The fumes are not that bad. You won't even notice them.

Good deal, the last indoor ProKart I went to ran gas and it was pretty bad.
Do you know what their helmet requirements are? I've got a full face cycle helmet but the Snell rating is out of date. I'm sure it's better than their loaner helmets though.
I am planning on coming.

as long as you have a full face with a shield you will be fine.FORDSVTPARTS wrote:Good deal, the last indoor ProKart I went to ran gas and it was pretty bad.

Thanks for the invite Dave, I had a great time. It was my brother in laws first time on a Prokart and he said it was a blast.
When we walked in the door and he saw how fast they were he was amazed.
It was fun racing with such a good bunch of guys.

Thanks for showing up. We had a full group of 10 guy show up last night. It made it fun knowing the only people on the track were people in your own group. What made it even more fun was the prokart guys letting us do rolling side by side starts and side by side starts from a stop. I was also pretty cool to see some of the new guys making progress. Nick was looking good by the end of the night and Steve (coworker of mine) took off like 4.5 seconds a lap from his first race to his last race. He has never been to prokart before.
When the prokart employee joined us and raced against us was the most fun for me. It made me really give it my all to keep him from passing me. I finally let him by ( tired of all his bumping, I thought they didn't allow bumping) I noticed he was messing with the fuel mixture knob on the straits. Turns out he was leaning the motor out to go faster. No big beal because even though he beat me by .03 seconds for fasterst lap i think I would have beat him easily if the didn't mess with the fuel mixture.
What amazed me even more was Rueben. We were the 2 fastest divers there. What amazes me is he drove a completely different line than me. He stayed tight all the time where I use as much track as possible. he was always within .1 seconds of my times.
He also is a ford focus fan, he once owned a focus SVT. He now owns 4 cars:
06 jetta winter beater
Porsche boxster (04 i think) special edition
07 fererri (cant remember the name of it)
07 porsche GT2 ( still being built and delivered from germany)
I talked to him about going to one of your meets. He is really a cool guy. He said in the spring I get to take his cars out for spirited driving. He also is a F1 race car driver! His dad owns a champ car team and he does all the testing for his dads team. he dosent race anymore because he is a researcher where I work.
We will do this again around feb-march time frame. i'll post up when we do.
