Default Rahr Brewery was fun.. How about THIS?

EDIT: It's ON! February 25th! Lets meet at the go-cart track in Frisco at High NOON for the DFW Cobra Club Racing Shoot-Out!


Looks to me like it would be some serious fun for $60. Depending on how many people want to drive, we may have different options available.

Lets see who really knows how to drive, versus just owning a cool car!

The Kentucky guys did it and seemed to have a great time.

Okay, this coming weekend I'm exhibiting at the Dallas Autorama so that won't work for me. How about 2/25/12 or shall we make it the first Sat. of March?

I going to ass-u-me that you meant Feb. 25th..

My car is going to be in the Factory Five booth. I didn't enter it in the Car Show contest. I haven't had the time to get it clean enough for that.

Where did that come from? Saturday February 25th and i'm in.

If anybody is interested in getting into carting, there is another track out in Rockwall. I have not been there, but I undersrand it to be outdoors, with many racers bringing their own carts on the weekends, and that the rental lcarts capable of 70mph.

Rockwall? Did I say Rockwall? Where did that come from?

Actually Caddo Mills... they have a billboard in Rockwall.

Electric Carting in Frisco: Since this place is only a few minutes from my house, I went by there over the weekend to check it out. And I learned a few things that might be of interest:

*Helmets--their loaners require a head sock that they give you. It is not the usual thin painter's head sock but a sweatshirt-thick thing that had most of the driver's visors fogged up. (Can you say, Gross!) Bring your own helmet--full-face OK, and open-face is OK but must have goggles/visor for eye protection.

*One smart guy had a GoHero camera stuck to the top of his helmet. I overheard that it makes some fun video.

*A lot of groups wait to do the 12-lap races, so there will be lots of downtime between sessions. (Car show in parking lot? Burnouts in the industrial park?) I do not know how many sessions we will sign up for. That is someone else's decision. Just know there is a lot of waiting. 10 at a time run a session.

*The "under-56" cart" (for elementary-size kids) looks real fun. Not as fast, but sufficient.

*Finally, we need to ask if we can run the track counter-clockwise as well as clockwise. It looks like we could double the fun that way. According to the manager on duty Saturday night, the track configuration changes every few months, but no one has ever asked to go the other direction. Wiggling the carts slowly into the pits (up to the battery chargers) will require some doing, but definitely worth the work. Or at least worth asking IN ADVANCE. Just a thought...

P.S. *Safety--the carts are also radio controlled. If the workers see a wipe-out, they hold down a button on a transmitter that makes ALL the carts go "pace lap" slow until the blockage is cleared. Then they release the carts electronically to return to regular speed. Ingenious! (That will help control jshel, ssssammy, and jross who need to know where the limits of traction are...)

Okay, at best only 8 have expressed an interest in this. I guess we'll just meet there, pay for our racing and have fun. If we had a huge number express interest I would have looked into making a reservation and having the track just just for us, for an hour or two. You can rent the track for $1250 per hour.

My title for this thread really doesn't make people realize this thread is for a group outing for Feb. 25th. Guess I'll make another thread and direct people here in case there is more interest.

Joe,
Do you have any idea how long this will take. I will have to leave around 2pm.

David I have never been there so I can't say for sure. I really can't imagine that it would take longer than two hours, unless someone just wanted to stay longer to hang out and socialize or buy more seat time. Hope to see you there!
