Default HiJack, Norcal 928er's Karting too!

Hey NorCal928er's!

Lets go karting and find our champion and then race the SoCal928er's champion!

It may be raining and wet on the roads here but this looks like fun!

I've never been been to gokartracer and want to try that place. There also http://www.lemanskarting.com in Fremont. We've had a couple 928 karting days there. Some of us know that track better than others (especially a Swede). Either place, I'm in.

Hmm I remember the last one.......we were talking about how bad your kart was in the previous session.....you were saying it won't turn right as well as left......right then Gerry (now in your old Kart)comes flying into a fast right hander....right off the track into the tire barrier....BAMM right in front of us...... You said "See I told you it won't turn right!" Classic!!!!!

So we are up to 5 of us so far, there have to be others here who want to go! This could be extremely fun with our own private expert racer, Mr. Mark!

I've tried gokartracer and unless they changed it since I was there it was not a "racers" track. Very few places to gain positions.

LeMans has been good. I used to do well there, but last time they had changed the layout and I couldn't figure out the new track.

It looks really tight, no place to pass, no real speed, however, i do like the little hills they have put in the track. (be better if you could catch air off them!)

Actually, ive heard the track is pretty good, but not from any credible sources.

You know, I should arrange this, but I never have had to before. We have done these mid-week evenings before.
