go-kart racing this weekend in Havasu

[Speedin' Ian]

I know there are a lot of us heading up to Havasu this weekend and I thought it would be fun to get a group of us to the go-kart track. So lets figure this out.
First off what evening works best for everyone?
Secondly how fast are they and do they get mad if you are drunk?
Lastly do any of you really think you can take me? :D

[Todd969]

I'm in........ Been there a few times and those things go pretty good. As far as drunk, since I don't drink I wouldn't know, but i'm sure it would be entertaining. I'm good for Saturday or Friday.

[Tom Brown]

Havasu Hot Laps rocks. :cool:
I don't think you're supposed to drive those carts when you're hammered but Kim Hanson poured himself into one. He was also asked to leave the track after a string of 'incidents'.
I had a ton of fun there.

[Speedin' Ian]

O.K. I'm leaning towards Friday, but lets just see what works for everyone else

[LHC30Victory]

Sounds great! We won't be in town till later Fri, so Sat is our vote.
How's the weather supposed to be? Heard the wind was comin' for the weekend.

[INSman]

We could make Friday, but Saturday may work better :rolleyes:

[Speedin' Ian]

It sounds like Saturday would be the best for everyone, so now we need to get a running list of people and time. I was thinking sometime after 6:30, later the better so everyone has plenty of time to get back from the lake.
List of people who are in:
Speedin' Ian + a couple
Todd969
titties and beer
LHC30VICTORY
INSMman

[INSman]

Procraftkev and Wild Lavey said they were in on the other post :cool:
I think Dicudmore is making the trip as well, and should be game

[WILD LAVEY]

oh yeah, how about slowest time buy drinks :D

[svlperry]

i'm in just did it sat nite fun as hell but they give u a work out

[Procraftkev]

We should be able to make saturday also.

[Speedin' Ian]

So what time works for everyone? I would prefer to go later in the evening but I am easy

[Todd969]

After 7:00 is good for me.

[Speedin' Ian]

O.K. lets say 7:30 on Saturday night

[ChumpChange]

You coming out at the end of the month Matt ??

[ChumpChange]

I will be out there the weekend of the 15th, in Hawaii for the next and Havasu for the last.

[INSman]

We'll see you at the end of the month then for sure..

[ChumpChange]

With the new boat?

[riverracerx]

I am in with RedRider. We will be up there with the new babies, so we will either bring them and the better halves, or leave them at home and sneak over for some racing.
Good luck beating me! I am the 5 time National Champion go-kart racing guy......
... Just kidding
See you on the water, and then on the track!

I am thinking that there is a strong possibility of that, but probably won't have the Raylar kits installed by then. Unless there is a big hang-up with mufflers not being available or something like that, I should be done in the next (2) weeks. :eek:

I was kidding as well, I do drive shifter karts from time to time, and my Cousin Patrick Long was one of the best American drivers in history, but I don't think any of it rubbed off on me. I've never driven these before, how fast do they go and how many people can race at a time? Also how strict are they on punting the guy in front of you :D

[riverracerx]

faster than you would expect! Fast enough. I have driven them intoxicated before (did I say that) and I had better lap times than when sober, go figure. They won't let you spin out, or bash the hell out of the next guy. But I have done some rubbin' :wink: Cause "rubbin's racin'" But they will toss you for flagrant bashing. It is a cool place though. You can run about 10-12 at a time I think. Better with a full track anyhoo. Bring your credit card. It aint cheap, but worth it. I am good for two races then my cash runs out.
See you there!

[svlperry]

$16 a race

[Speedin' Ian]

At $16 a race I should be good for a couple

[rvrhlic]

I am in for Saturday night. Should be 3 or 4 of us.

[riverracerx]

KC is going in the wall! :D j/k
Hey did you get that Raylar install yet? Should make that deck haul ass! Gonna be a nice setup.

[OutCole'd]

Is there an arcade there or anything for kids to do? I am going with just my kids this weekend and this sounds like a good time.

[riverracerx]

Yes, they have a small arcade.
They also have mini cars for the little kids 4-7 yrs. and a little circle track.
And they have slower bigger carts for the 7-12ish kids. on the big track.

Sounds good, what time is everyone showing up?

[riverracerx]

seven turdy.
I will have a RiverRacerX t-shirt on (unless it is cold).

[INSman]

Okay, who can make up some name tags ??? I feel like I know most of these people but have yet to actually meet hardly any !!! :2purples:

Chris.... BRING IT!!!
As far as the Raylar kit goes..... not installed yet, hoping to have it done for the weekend. Basically all the parts are there Aaron is ready to go but is waiting on some parts that Magic had to replace. The parts should be in today or tomorrow and they Aaron will complete. Keeping my fingers crossed for the weekend, we will see....

[ULTRA28]

Under 7 years old have to ride the electric cars
7 to 10 ride the mini cars, but have to take a two hour class first to get a card to let them drive the minis. They only do the class on Wednesdays or by appointment. Mini's don't run on Saturday nights at all.
Junior cars are for 10 to 15 year olds, no class required.
Adult cars are for 16 and up.
It's worth it to become a member, $25.00 gets you $12 races and includes a race. So if you plan on racing three races it pays for itself. Plus you get discount races on other days by being a member.

Chris, can you bring up an RRX shirt for me, XL unless they run very large, then it would be a large?

[INSman]

I wish I could, but I've got a wedding to go to this Saturday. Otherwise I'd be there.
Another man bites the dust, I mean, joins all of us happily married men !! :D

[riverracerx]

Blane,
I am out of RRX shirts. Hope to make some more for summer. I do have some nice RiverCutie boy beaters that would look sweet on you when they are wet!
Just kidding....ladies only for those! And wet is good. Damn, I need to get to the river this weekend! :eek:

[Todd969]

Count me in for a couple shirts

[Todd969]

So is it confirmed for a 7:30ish race time?

[INSman]

7:30 is the time fo sho !!

[LHC30Victory]

I know I am gonna catch a whole lotta crap for this, but we are backing out due to several things, most of which is a friend needs help moving.
Kinda bummed... missing a chance to go to the zoo, ride the boat, and go racing! maybe next time if I am allowed. :idea:

[Procraftkev]

Sorry guys I didnt make the race,We ended up staying and watching the bands play at the skinnie dellio.

[Todd969]

I was there from 7:30 to 8:00 and didn't know who was who, so my wife and I played a couple games and went out for dinner.

[Procraftkev]

For the most part thats my problem to everybody needs to bring there boats so we know whos who

[INSman]

That's funny, I did exactly about the same thing !! It is all Chris' (RRX) fault for not showing with name tags and such, next time we will have to organize it better :argue:

[northern baja]

Hot laps is great. I did have to wonder about the accuracy of the results sheet. That was a lot of fun and a pretty good work out. I was surprised.
Not one of those places that you put your foot in and leave it. Never got past stabbing the brake.

[Speedin' Ian]

You know the funny thing is I saw a bunch of your boats throughout the weekend but I was never really sure if it was indeed who I thought it was. As for the karting I'll be the first to admit that I was pretty late and didn't see anyone waiting around. I think INSman is right next time we will have to organize a little better, maybe have a specific meeting point or something.

[riverracerx]

Where was everyone? I got there at 8:00 and met up with Red Rider, Rvrholic, B*Rock and HP Lavey. We ran two races and left about 9:20.
I have pics but forgot my download cable today at work.
Oh, and I got first, not to brag or anything. And for some reason I seem to remember KC ending up in the wall? :D

I think we were gone by about 8:00, I guess I will be less punctual next time :eek: :D Maybe a pre-meet at a local food & beverage place would be good next time around ??

[riverracerx]

I would have been there sooner, but Mudsharks took a while to get our pizza delivered and then we had to get the miniature humans ready and into the car to get over there. It was fun though.

[OutCole'd]

I had every intent on going. But, after getting off the boat in the afternoon I started drinking, and you know what happens then....
Next time for sure.

[Speedin' Ian]

Glad you guys had a good time, I gues there is always next time

[riverracerx]

Out Cole'd, nice to meet you. I love that deck boat.
Nice to meet Blane and Robin (?) too.
Also saw HDD, HP Lavey, KC, Titties and Beer, Music to my Ears and a few others.

Yes Chris, Robin is correct.. Nice to meet you too and hopefully we will be more organized in (3) weeks for the Desert Storm/Heat Poker Run !!
Maybe the next batch of RRX t-shirts, we can figure out how to cost effectively get the screennames on the front ?? :D

I seem to remeber that too, i also have a gnarly bruise on my side to prove it. In my defense.... we were pretty hammered from doing shots all day at the turtle. Tend to get more hammered when you are land locked....
