By the way, G-Force is much more fun that Allsports. Karts seem quicker and the track layout is more interesting. They could turn the heat up a little tho!

PS- I weigh about 195-198

Not a bad time for your time at the track Torch. Here are the times we ran during the last enduro.

Wayne 68 laps completed average lap time 25.911 fast lap 25.301

Sonny 73 laps completed average lap time 25.613 fast lap 25.232

Brian 65 laps completed average lap time 25.687 fast lap 25.264

Kevon 76 laps completed average lap time 25.239 fast lap 24.704

No, we have our own fair-share of rude tourists

I am talking about the sand/salt/crud mix that VDOT laid down on our roads, effectively ending my "Corvette Season"

If we do the go karts, I would not be opposed to going down to Richmond

I can almost guarantee I won't drive one of the Corvettes though

Pick a date, already

And where are we eating, afterwards???

Because most of the USA is fat and I'm in that group.

I knew I saw you at the meetings.

Maybe we should have a CF biggest loser competition.

Only Kevon could be called smaller out of that group. Sonny and I both are 190-200. I'm guessing Brian is about 180.

I think you are right. With another 30 laps or so you'll run high 25's.

I've seen one vote for an event at Allsports and one for G Force. What do you guys think? It sounds like Blowtorch thinks the G Force track is more fun and it is a bit more centrally located if we pull the Rat Pack bunch up from Tidewater. How many NOVA guys are willing to come down to Richmond one weekend in January?

I might be up for a drive to go-kart. It kind of depends on the weekend I guess (not that I'd be able to tell you now what weekend would work though). I've been to Allsports a couple times and it's a blast. Richmond is about 120 miles from me though.
