Ford vs Chevy / Traxx Go-Kart Meet - Sat 29th Sorry for the short notice ...
A few Ford / Cobra folk are meeting up at the Mukilteo Traxx this Saturday. Marc is setting up a track rental at least to obtain our own private session so we're not mixed in with other people.
We need 8 confirmed attendees in order to reserve track time and after that it's game on.
So get your slow, ugly *** Chevy out there and show those Ford guys whats up.
Hope you can make it. PM me if you need my cell.

Cost:
If we book for the 20 minutes, those of us who wants to do another race can for about 10$ more and we'll still have the track to ourselves. So I suggest we book for 8 people for the 2x10 minute races and those who want to can do another 10 minute race.
Times available are 5:00pm & 6:00pm this Sat for reservations.
I'll update the list here with those who are confirmed for Sat. If you say you’re in then you are in! In other words if I have to pay for you backing out then you owe me capish! I'm going to be putting this on my credit card for the reservation so please reply if you will for sure be joining us.[/LIST]
Cost:
- 1/2 hour of racing (3 x 10 minute races) is 46.65 each after tax EACH.
- 20 minutes of racing (2 x 10 minute races) is 32.30 each after tax EACH.

They have a bottled beers for sale at the Traxx grill and perhaps we could all head out to Azteca down the road for some grub after the races.

Sounds like fun, too bad I'll be working, you guys could really use a good ***-whopping. It's amazing what a 150lb driver can do with those carts 
. I think you mean the 29th btw.

We used to do a Ford vs. Chevy thing every year up until a couple years ago in Auburn at Sykart. 10-12 teams of two people in a 1 hour nonstop enduro with a required at least one stop for driver change. Highest number of laps at the end would win. Carlo Sparacio used to organize it until he went professional.

8 Ford guys but no one from this forum.
We'll have to set something up further in advance. Marc was planning this several weeks ago on the SVT forum and I put a Ford vs Chevy spin on it to increase attendance.
It's a fun track but they removed the signature hill which was a big feature of the track. The key (for the future) is to rent out the track so everyone in the group is indeed from your group.
We had a few back markers in the field and another guy with a popped collar creating some problems by intentionally overshooting the braking zones to ram. Otherwise there is still some areas through the track for wheel to wheel racing (and a few punches to the shoulder) but the track prioritizes lap times for positioning and also display lap averages. Having back markers / traffic on the track really skew those lap times and minimize ones ability to run a clean lap.
I was able to thread the needle a few times through some turns between two other karts while flipping the bird which made it all worth it.
