Seat time is seat time. 6 of the top 10 yesterday were regular autocrossers with Ryan Gates being in the top 10 as well who races in time attack.

Hey Shawn, anytime you wanna go let me know. It's cheap and fun enough that I wouldn't even think about it.

I ended up getting paid last night to help a buddy install a radio and speakers in his car, so that's why I didn't show. That and I wanted to take a break from doing shit in the one night between jobs.

It's alright Spaz there might of been a few to many corners for ya anyways lol...

Re: Prokart Indoors 2/21/10
 

I used to go to prokart all of the time, when there was one in Blaine. The people there used to let me race, even though I was like a year or 2 too young. I actually used to be pretty damn good, seeing as I am huge, I still managed to beat the skinny guys lol.

Wanted to go to this, but too far, and no money :(, plus bday crap got me caught up.

We couldve each given you a dollar for your birthday and you wouldve had enough.

That's ok. We will try this again. Hopefully next month there will be still alot of interest. It made it alot more fun because there were so many racers there. I think we had 5 female drivers. They had a really good time too.

Where did all the Subaru owners come from? I didn't see any mention of the event on mnsubaru.com.

Re: Prokart Indoors 2/21/10
 

I know Ron works on Subies. I think he also called GrimmSpeed about the event and that's their specialty.

Re: Prokart Indoors 2/21/10
 

I just told someone let them spread the word. They just send me a text everytime they get more people. Theres really not much more interest in other forums. Dont know why. I know Greg wanted it to be forum vs forum, car club vs. car club. I just wanted it to be fun. Most of the people who came are existing customers and friends. Then guys from MAP joined at the last minute.
I think we have the potential of getting a bigger group. Greg told me 50 would work out perfect and we had 49 total. I'm sure next time we can have other forums like mnautox, mnsubaru, mnhondas, mnsportcompacts, d town, volksport and others join in.

Re: Prokart Indoors 2/21/10
 

I think that was a good amount amount of people, more people would just be more work for ProKart and more time for racers to wait in between races. I hope the slower people want to keep doing something like this and want to become faster, that is my only worry that they will get frustrated and stop going.

I am not a fan of the us vs. them racing. I myself could represent multiple groups. Keep it fun and personal, this hobby doesn't need any more "your car manufacturer sucks" mentality than it already has. I'll gladly drive anyone's car and prove myself as a good driver. :)

Thanks again for getting everyone together for this, Ron.

Re: Prokart Indoors 2/21/10
 

agreed. :) 50 people! wow. When we usually go, there's only 9 of us. If I remember correctly, there are only 9 karts total that run during a race. Still, a very very fun time to have. Hey Matt D., maybe you take the Galant for a drive during an auto-x event...I'd like to have some feedback on how this car feels like.

Re: Prokart Indoors 2/21/10
 

Keep it fun or I won't come! :D Love to do this again!

Re: Prokart Indoors 2/21/10
 

The most they ever allow on the track is 10, and that can be a lot of traffic.

If we're both ever at the same event and they offer buck runs I think it would be a blast to swap cars for a run or two, I always like trying out different cars and letting people flog mine for a bit.

Re: Prokart Indoors 2/21/10
 

I keep getting asked when the next one will be so we are trying to find out which date will work for some. Right now we have the 14th or 21st in mind. 14th is 1st day of day light saving so 7 will be still sunny out. 21st is the first day of spring I think.
Let me know if there's any interest and which date will work.
We don't even have a date set and I have 10 people ready to go already.
