That place is sickKKK!!!!

Is that a random comment or are you going to come?

I haven't gotten many replies for preferred format, so my thinking is we'll kind of play it by ear: if we have an odd number of people racing, we do elimination format; if we have an even number, we do the endurance format with teams.

If the team format is chosen make sure that there are fast guys matched with slow guys, so there should be some sort of qualifying event. Like the fastest guy would get matched with the slowest guy, next fastest with next slowest and so on.

^^^ The first post explains how ProKart determines teams; it's not my suggestion, it's what they told me they always do. People could certainly cheat and sandbag their qualifying, but I'd hope no one would stoop to that level for something like this.


Say 20 people show up. All 20 people race in timed qualifying. The top 10 fastest and 10 slowest are determined. Say I'm the fastest; I pick a poker chip from a bucket, on which a kart # is written; #1 for example. The other 9 fastest also choose poker chips, then all chips are put back in the bucket. Then the 10 slowest people choose poker chips. Say you're the slowest person; you choose the poker chip with #1 on it and blammo, we're a team.

I had a great time, thanks for organizing it.

I learned that you shouldn't be nice to everyone, and was just average.

Glad you had fun, Aaron. Being nice in road racing only allows you to get passed. :)

Aaron being nice? What is this foreign concept.

No problem at all; I had a blast too. If there's enough momentum, I'm happy to organize these on a more regular basis.

Playing follow the leader can help a lot and I'm always happy to give tips, at least until you start winning. :)
