Default FL. Shark Go Kart Challenge

I would like to gauge the interest of the FL. 928 community regarding a go kart get together. There is a place in St. Petersburg FL that has electric karts that handle great and will do 45 mph. The karts are electronicly timed to the thousandth of a second and are great fun. I would like to schedule a get together at this place www.tampabaygp.com in a month or so. Most likely on a Saturday. Who's in?

Here is an exerpt from their site:

Speed up to 45mph!!!
Experience the Thrill of European-Style Outdoor Karting

If you have the NEED FOR SPEED Tampa Bay Grand Prix is YOUR PLACE TO RACE.

Unique in Tampa Bay area, a European-Style Karting Center where Pro or novice can ride a powerful Italian electric OTL Pro-Kart up to 45mph on our new challenging 1/4mile track completely protected by TECPRO, the safest barriers available today.

Challenge yourself or compete with your friends, partners and family in a 14 lap race. Tampa Bay Grand Prix is fully equipped with the top-of-the-art timing system OSKAR. Each lap is counted in our computerized system, the best overall lap time wins the race. At the end of each race, you will receive a sheet showing your lap times.

Y'all will have a blast! We have a kart racing league that the KCWS put together, complete with a points based scoring system and its some of the most fun I have ever had.

I think that would be great. Should we settle on a date first?

Calling all FL 928ers. I know this is last minute but I will be at Tampa Bay Grand Prix on Sat. around 3pm . The link to their website is www.tampabaygp.com . I will be giving a few of the local guys a call to invite them personally.

I will still schedule a larger 928 event and give you more notice. This one was just a last minute decision over dinner with some friends last night.

If your up for a good beer, World of Beer on LinBaugh Ave in Tampa has a large selection (800 or so) with at least 20 German beers. My schedule for the up coming two weekends are fairly free.
