Mmm, may be a tad bit too much for my blood. Anyoen got connections here?

 

not me....i say we just go on the go carts....we'd proably be better off buying one!...LOL

 

There are 4 major go cart tracks in Calgary that I know of

 

Come on guys - we get 15 people together and it's only $166.67 per person.
I can think of 7 or 8 that would go right now!

As for an instructor - I can get in touch with a couple of friend of mine that are instructors - they would do it in trade for a few laps in a few different cars.

I say we at least make the effort to see if we can get the numbers.

And if you are thinking that $100. to $200. for 3 hours is a lot - you are wrong - the amount that you will learn in 3 hours will more than make up for the money.

List here if you are in:
Warren (S2000)
Scott (Warren' Bro - Impreza w/ Sti motor)
Don (Warren's dad - WRX)
Danny (friend - celica)
Gary (type R)
James (prelude)
Tony (super charged Miata)
Jason (WRX)

 

 

I'll sit in the stands and take pics with my dinky lil 35mm Unless I can borrow my dad's buddy Don's digicam...

 

Good to Go!!

 

Me me me!

I'm in if it's reasonable ($166.xx) +/-
Asif

 

But I guess this will have to be on a weekday evening though? I specify in the e-mail of a weekend and the lady didn't seem to have an disagreement with that.

 

I wonder, if I am gonna be sitting in the stands or down on the track area taking pics (for the people that go, only), will I have to pay the full $160.xx dollars, or just regular gate admission? Or anything? I am offering my services cuz I am thinking I need to give something back to the group for all you guys have done for me and since I got like an A+ in my high school photography course and would like to let all you guys be free to drive and have fun And, if it's digital, and anyone doesn't want their face shown, I have all the necessary programs to mosaic out or black out faces
