some people from Dixie are talking to them about events there. Some sections of the track are wide enough and built to withstand cars. The owners appear to be receptive but probably nothing will happen this year.

sstony mentioned matt(ontehgasinFL) is trying to get with that guy about working out there. i'd like to take my bike out there.

btw...i see this guy all the time i believe. i think he has a Navy license plate on his SRT-10...

You mean drive in circles?

And yeah, I might try and get out there if they do some autocross events.

it's about 5 miles from my house

[DerekFSU]

29 feet wide doesn't provide for wheel to wheel passing in a car, but it does allow for time trials. I'd use it for testing to dial the car in and may get a kart.

no mr. chase. that was a separate occasion with my 1-wheel-wonder.

[Injected1]

is that the occasion where you were dead hooking and thus just driving around the track?

it may have been. hah. too wide a tire and not enough sand.

[Injected1]

ted...I am pretty sure that my truck drifts better than your v6

[sstony]

sounds like a lot of fun. maybe this will get me a little more excited about road racing cuz i'm scared of the turns. i definitely want to check it out when its up and running

Aaron at SGC is getting his karts ready, and another friend of ours has two of them. I think a Kart purchase will be in the near future. I just want to go two or three times to make sure it will be worth the $$ for the kart.

[DerekFSU]

I agree. We need to get a track day once it's open where we get some class time and rent their carts.

[tedness]

tmca kart day ftw

I'm down man. Just let me know!

[SVT P-Tree]

a cart track day with all of us would be fun, should even get some trophys :kinson:

[Injected1]

depending on time and money I am down...

[88leadsled]

I've been interested in trying out some cart classes since I figured out how expensive it is to take a driving school with full size cars.

Prove it!

edit: I've heard otherwise....

[Injected1]

I said the truck would drift better...not ME...
G80>Open

but the G80 still sucks, and some decent drifting would kill it in a heart beat...and I just dont feel like breaking a g80 today

[slmdLS1]

his prices are pretty high.

[HeavyChevy3800]

^ Thats what I was looking at also. 10 bucks for the day then 25 for 10 minutes of track time. I say we go to Fun Station for Go Karts.

I don't see going 90+MPH at funstation.

[Gt]

I don't see going 90+MPH at funstation.

Nor do I see 1.1 miles worth of track at Funstation. Seems comparing funstation to this place is like comparing rice vs a domestic at a drag strip. :wicked:
