Post SW TX KartZone Enduro - Now With Photos

Davey Jones KartZone in Houston is having a 1.5 hour enduro on Monday Oct 21st at 7pm. Cost is $60 per driver with 3 drivers per team. How about it? Any one want to join in and form a team?

For those of you who missed out on the August 02 Rennlist get together at KartZone, this was a BLAST! Although I think my arms have just now finally returned to normal - lot of sawing on the ole wheel if ya know what I mean!

How about it Geo, TXHedg, Paul, Pete, Mad George - ya'll ready to bang some walls again?

We do have a place like that here in charlotte! Victory Lane Karting, the PCA holds meetings there every once any a while. Fast karts and a great indoor track, but it is a little pricey. On Sundays they have 3 hour mini Lemans races same format 3 drivers pitstops for gas everything. Next time the PCA has a meeting ther I will post the information, great fun, drive karts order pizza and they will let us set up in the banquet room in the back and BYOB for after driving of course.

Say it ain't so TXhedg - Man, how long you gonna be in that penalty box? Hockey seasons already started - we need you on the boards man!

At any rate, let me know if your plans change.
See ya,

Well, let me confirm with my manager (wife). I'm 98% certain I'm in. I need a kart with a large, ah "set-up" seat though.

Details on the track and all the fun can be found at <a href="http://www.kartzone.net" target="_blank">www.kartzone.net</a> - I'm on their e-mail list, that's how I found out about the Enduro. Looks like it will be 1.5 hours with three driver changes. I'll assume they will need to refill the tanks as well. Love to have you join in! Anyone else game? Maybe we can get a couple of teams up.

Hey Geo, you've seen TXHedge and me wedge our butts into the karts. I don't think you'll have any trouble. We might want to let the biggest of the three drive last - hate to have us lose time because a driver gets stuck in the seat!

I'm currently working on my "set-up." Lost about 10 lbs already. Just 65 more to go. Got to fit into that MOMO 1000 Lakes race seat.

Well, as a matter of fact - I'm down by 12 and a half since August myself. Gone from XXL to XL (or as I like to say from "the great white" to "just fat"). Goal's around 45 total. Maybe we can get together after the race and eat seaweed and rice cakes or something.

Hehe. I miss my Shiner Bock.

Hey, I'm a definite go now. Since I'm "on the bread line" at the moment, perhaps I'll go a little early and get some practice laps in.

Woo hoo.
