Anyone for some Karting tomorrow nite?

[Snowman]

Ok - heres the scoop.

A group of us have book at go-karting night tomorrow night at Go KartSports in Moorabin (the tricky indoor place). Unfortunately today a number of the guys have pulled out which has left us right on the minimum numbers - but another guy is away today ill so Im a little concerned.

So I am seeing if there are 2 people out there interested in coming Karting tomorrow night. Basically it is people from my work that are doing it - however both Ash and Noof will be doing it as well.

The details are as follows:

Where - Go KartSports - Chesterville Rd Moorabin

When - Friday 14th starting at 7:30pm

What - 3 races - 10lap qualifying - 2 x 15lap races

Cost - $92.

I'm really only looking for 2 people at this stage as the place has a minimum of 12 but a maximum of 16. We have 12 now but I dont want to fill all spots incase some of the pull outs changes their mind.

We'll all be having a drink at the venue afterwards. If you havent seen this place its pretty amazing! They video the races and then you watch them on large screens afterwards over a few beers for a laugh. The karts are quick (200cc) and the track is tuff (none of this foot to the floor all the way around shite) More details can be found at:

Go-carts and beer afterwards - count me in!

What time do we start Snowman.

[Snowman]

Excelent.

Start at 7:30pm as started mate. Thats the time of the first race so we need to be there 15min earlier or so they said.

[benjiman74]

See you at 7:15 for some doorhandle rubbing action! btw what do you think of carpark security at this joint - will you be taking your car for eg?

[R31Nismoid]

Did you call the boys @ ICE... geralrd raised an eye yesterday when i mentioned it...

[meshmesh]

If there's room for 2 more, count me in.

[Snowman]

Mate there is apparently off street parking for the place.

Having said thay my GTR wont be coming - if only for the reason I have a NO Beer and Drive the GTR rule. Way too dangerous! Doubly so after a night of Karting! lol

[Snowman]

Simon mate that can be done. I was asking for 2 knowing there was room for 3. So yeah - all sorted.

No I didnt ask Gerald cause he'll kick my ass! lol

Great stuff guys - all sorted. Its going to be a lot of fun. We'll probably organise another full SAU one later in the year.

damn missed out

Just want to say on behalf me & my bro inlaw, a big thanks to the snowman it was a great fun night. To Snowy, DJ, Ben & R31 you are really some nice guys and hope we can organise another one this time for the SAU boys.

A couple of things I noticed about tonight, Snowman is a real hustler pretending he "was" trying his best... Ash & Nathan, you guys were awesome showing off your rear wheel drive skills applying pressure on the GTR drivers, and as for that bloke what's his face.... aaah yeh! Ben, all I can say is you win some & you lose some, but did you have to win everything!!!! I thought a yellow meant slooooooow down, why was it that your car was the only one with Laaaaaaunch Control??? or is that a GTR driver's tactic. Then you go and aniliate the lap record for the day.. not fair .

As for me... at least us fat blokes weighing 100kg having some advantages I think it's called traction, something Ash & Nathan wouldn't know about.

[Scotsman]

Sounds like fun guys.. Disappointed I only just read this thread.

[NS2500]

This would be a great idea for sometime in the next few months as the weather won't be permitting too many outdoor events.

[ABuSD]

Damn how can yas pay soooo much for go Karts? Ace Karts in sunshine are having a 10th Birthday celebration $50 all u want to ride all day!! Sunday 23rd may

www.acekarts.com.au

Theyre races are alot cheaper also has an outdoor track meaning its bigger and faster!!

[ferni]

yeah i second a go-kart meet sometime soon

the one in keysbourgh (i think? le-mans gokarts wherever that is), isn't to bad... pretty safe to park our skylines there as well...

[Snowman]

Ok - Im still hurting from Friday night! LOL

But otherwise a big thanks to all that came along on the night. Ben it was great to meet you and you certainly kicked ass on the go kart track. Now I look forwards to moving the challenge to the race track mate (will send you PM today regarding Sandown)

If anyone has never been to this Karting track I'd have to recommend it. The facilities were by far and away the best I have seen for a karting venue even if the karts werent the fastest. The track made up for it by being very technical (11 turns in all) - oh and the karts were awesome for drifting. We were saying afterwards we'd be keen to have another SAU night there (its great cause its indoors with a good bar so it makes a great social venue) and maybe do something a little different like on of their endurance team races.

Will keep you posted on any plans. And after discovering the weight advantage at this place I'd better go eat some hamburgers in preparation!

[GTRgeoff]

Having a few extra kg to haul I never touch the low power indoor karts, but seriously recommend ACE in sunshine for races/timed laps and Somerton for the quickest hire karts in Melbourne. These are almost as quick as the old clubman kart I raced, just with a centrifugal clutch. Last time out I completely destroyed a left rear and was wrecked afterward. About $40 for 10 min (or was it 30-35) but a serious test if your are a little unfit as I have been with ruptured disc troubles for 8 months.

and Somerton for the quickest hire karts in Melbourne.

:headbang:

It was a sensational night wasnt it??!?!?

Well worth the $90 without a doubt. I dont care if some places are cheaper, the facilities and track at this place is wicked fun. The track is much more technical the Sunshine

LOL, i loved the dorifto, first time i've got sideways in anything for months!

I remember passing comment Nath said to me when we got out after qualifying.

Man, your just sideways all the time

So true lol! It's sensational fun, and an SAU day will have to be organised for SURE!

As for me... at least us fat blokes weighing 100kg having some advantages I think it's called traction, something Ash & Nathan wouldn't know about.

I told ya that weight made a difference. I just kept sliding all over the place till the tyres got warm lol!

And Ben, your banned from coming next time, your too good LOL! J/K

So stay tuned... SAU Karting championship will be coming...

[doxximus]

hahaha hopefully organise a 2 part sau kart day (because if lots of people wanna come, no way we can fit them all in one day?)
