Serf, I spoke the the GM of Grand Prix Kartways and open faced helmets are allowed provided that they are inspected and meet TSSA standards at the track. Bring it along and they will inspect it, Grand Prix Kartways supply complimentery balaclavas to each participant so the worst case is that you will have to wear one of the supplied helmets with the balaclava.

Grand Prix Kartways will be using everyone's Forum Names for driver names and results, they will pre load them into the computer so you will be asked to confirm the name at the time of registration.

Thanks for the info Mark. Can you please add Turbo-951 to the list if it's not too late. Since I'm taking up two spots on the roster (5 & 24) I'll give one up for Turbo-951. aka Dave.

Man, I wish I had a cooler screen name, like arsekicker or babyeater or something.

Should we bring cash so someone can pay the bill in full, or can we pay with debit/cc individually? (I never carry cash so I'd need to make a specific stop at an atm - not a big deal, just need to make sure)

Definitely looking forward to it!

I had removed z06cab, but I will add John. We are scheduled for 3 groups so we should be OK.
