DATE: Saturday, 27 April, 2013
TIME: 12:00PM to 2:30PM
LOCATION: Summit Point, Winchester, VA
GPS COORDINATES: 39.236840, -77.97345
GOOGLE MAPS: MapQuest Maps - Driving Directions - Map
SUMMIT POINT KARTING SITE: Plan Your Event | Summit Point Kart

COST: GP4 8-15 people = $100, 16-24 people = $90, 25+ people $80

TYPE OF KARTING: GP4. A Grand Prix 4 is a Grand Prix 3 with an added inverted start race (see above link to Summit Point Event Planning for full description).The people who finished first in the first race start in the back for the second race and the people who finished last in the first race start in the front for the second race. This spices thing up. It gives the slow people a second chance and the fast people a challenge. The karts being used are 390cc (13HP). If however, during your laps you are able to qualify via your lap time, you are afforded the opportunity to step up to the 250cc kart for a fee of $40.00 I'm told this is very difficult but not entirely impossible.

DEPARTURE: For those who wish to cruise as a group, we'll depart the Fairfax Meet location at 10:00AM sharp so we can get there and get signed in, pay and outfitted with helmets for those who don't have one. NOTE: Most folks have decided that they will make their way on their own to get to Summit Point. Please make plans to arrive no later than 11AM at Summit Point so we can get everyone paid for and outfitted in time so we don't lose any of our track time in the karts.

LATE LUNCH EARLY DINNER: After we are finished karting, for those who want to stop in Winchester we'll make our way into town and stop for a bite to eat and some cold drinks before making our way home. The place we've agreed to go as a group is:

The Butcher Station (moderate to pricey) (happy hour is 3-6PM)

Website:

Winchester Seafood | Craft Beer | Local Beef | The Butcher Station

Happy Hour (3-6PM) Menu:

Dinner Menu:

Reservations have been requested for a party of 12 at 3:30PM. If you did not indicate you wanted to attend lunch/early dinner we can always ask if there is enough room to seat you with the group when we arrive. If not, I'm sure you can still be seated and enjoy a nice meal and cold libations.

*Please contact ZCarMan to let him know you are committed to attending or just post up here.

Dana and I are in.

(She will be racing)

Count me in.

Can't do the 27th, that's when I have my HPDE at Summit Point.

I'm totally down for this. :driving:

Chris will have a huge advantage, he is skinny and he has giant downforce wing buffet table he can bolt onto the kart.

I've already started "purging" so I can be as light as possible. :stirthepot:

You've never raced the ghost before... Muahahaha!

Oh no! I had no idea Shahid. Figures the one day I can make it for and the person who wants to do this the most is going to be on the Jefferson circuit. At least you'll be "karting" in a similar fashion.

I'm always up for Karting, just no where to go up here and no one to go with. If you offer, I'll attend. :tup:

Or in a pinch it can be service for one or more!

Is it too late to change the date? I really wanted to do this. I'll try to get an idea of what the schedule is going to be like. Maybe if I get lucky, I can do both on just one trip to Summit Point.

Yes, we are committed to the 27th at this point. What time is you HPDE? Maybe you can do both? If not, I suspect if this goes well, we'll be doing another one before the summer is over.

I'm not sure and they don't send us the schedule till a week before the event.

Okay, we're on the official SPK calendar for karting events.

Check in with Bobo, he should have a good idea of what the schedule is like from past HPDEs he has attended. You might have a slot of time in between run groups that you could come over if you really wanted to. You're of course welcome to join us!

I'm doing it with a different organization so it might be a bit different. I might come by to watch and hangout in between runs. Not sure if I can run. Of course I could always skip a couple runs to do the karting. The HPDE is for the full weekend anyway so I'll be there all day Saturday and Sunday.

IN

Almost guarantee that if you don't skip at least one session, you can't make this. Just too big if a time gap...

Personally, I'd HPDE versus Kart, especially since you paid for it...just come pay us a visit!

Also, I'm in +1 (girlfriend) for now.

We'll there be free running time, or just racing?

Just to be sure, will she be racing or just spectating? From the way it worked before, you get a first run that is just a practice session, then then next one is for real, so on and so forth.

Yeah that's probably what I'll end up doing.

She'll be racing :-), slow but she just wants to have fun.

And honestly, it's good car control training!

I'm 100% in!

Do we need to place a deposit or pay in advanced?

Okay, I have you down as attending! Just bring at least 100.00 with you to the kart track. :driving:

Its all about fun my friend! Glad you guys will be able to make it.

Yeah she's really excited I think!

:roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

Absolutely!

haha this is awesome, I'm totally in. Do we have a limit of number of people that can attend?

Jon, thanks for doing all the leg work and putting this together. you sir are awesome!

I'd love to extend this event to some of the NGC guys, but if it's exclusive I'll keep my mouth shut :D hahah

Well poo. Forgot about a prior commitment I have on the 27th. Let the excitement get to me.

I'm tentative right now. Trying to figure this out.

No worries, we have a bit of time to work with so keep me posted.

Khoi, if you have some guys from the NGC group what would like to come out that is fine. If you can get me some names of those who are committed that would be helpful so that I can get them on the list.

No problem Andrew, glad to help with coordination. There is no limit. I just need to let them know if we get more than 25.

sweet! Thanks Jon, also which of the 3 karts will they be letting us race? I hope its the 250cc!

We need to do this again so I can go! >_<
