I would be able to attend on 12/3 or 12/10. I have business parties on 12/4, 12/11 and 12/18.
You definitely need to go to Fasttimes when it is still above freezing. I did a LeMans style 2 hour race there with 2 person teams last February. They have no insulation in the walls. It was 0F degrees outside. Same inside. It looked like a special stage rally in Finland...except it was on blacktop. One of my buddies hit a wall and actually got hurt. It was lots of fun. My team won.![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

As an aside, we should organize a kart outing for Rennlisters or 944 guys sometime this spring. Nothing big, just a fun event. We could have it at Newcastle Raceway. It looks like an awesome track. They have group rentals.

If not there, we could have it at Fasttimes or the old Stefan Johansson place, I can't recall its new name.

Prodrive Karting, I worked there a few years ago while in high school (shortly). Very unprofessional and the karts are junk, but the track is good, if they don't powder the turns. I once heard Stefan call an F40 that Ferrari gave him a piece of junk. Anyways, I'd definately be up for a rennlist kart race sometime.

ProDrive Karting closed this summer... and the karts that they rent at newcastle suck.. they have little lawn mower engines in them. The other good track in the indy area is on the south side called whiteland raceway...

FastTimes would probably be the best place to have a karting event, but it costs a lot... Team Rose Motorsports, the motorsports club here at rose, was looking into renting it as a club outing, but we found out that it costs less to rent putnam park for a day then it does to rent FasTimes...
just my $.02

Bummer about Prodrive and New Castle's crappy karts. I agree that FastTimes is a bit overpriced. The track is nothing special, it reminds of something on MarioKart. New Castle's track looks awesome though. Looks like Whiteland might be a good choice.
Back to the GTG...so who is going to make the decision on the date? Should we setup a poll with potential dates?
