Some possible dates I'll throw out there:

sometime between xmas and new years... could be on a weekday
Jan. 26th
Feb. 9th
Feb. 16th
Feb. 23rd

[marty]

i'll be in stl probably until dec 26 or 27th, unless i can persuade my girlfriend to go karting... but any time between then and new years im open. what about mlk day (21st, i think)? i dunno how many people get that day off.

21st /= between the 26th/27th and new years... :confused:

[marty]

mlk day = martin luther king day... as in, the 3rd monday of january ;)

:p

[Hornswoggler]

still /= between the 26th/27th and new years...

:p

this does not need to be between xmas and new years... that was just a suggestion.

Benny, are you going to make this one??

[benny z]

outlook does not look good...

:o

however, if the moons line up just right...we'll see...

[haunter]

I'd have to have a concrete date before I could have any clue

[NewScooby]

I have been planning a trip to the Chicago Auto Show and CIR with a group friends.

If a date is finalized between Febuary 6th and the 18th with a start time after 2:00 at CIR I'm interested. I can bring a group of 4 to help get the group rate.

[2ks4 : Jason]

Sounds like a good time.

[goodee]

I have nothing going on until the second week of February, the first 2 weekends are busy.

Make sure to include the consolation race so the rest of you have a reason to go. :D I've lost a couple pounds in the last month.

[Hornswoggler]

I'd have to have a concrete date before I could have any clue


fizz, i need you to see this glass as half full. What weekend could we do this AND have your attendance?

I am trying to avoid a situation where I announce a weekend, you say no. I reschedule, you say no again, I recschedule again, you say no again... If you could just say what weekend DOES work for you, we can try to schedule around that.

For everybody interested, I need to know who is SERIOUS about going, and what Saturdays between now and March you are available. My proposed format for reply:

Screen name - Serious/Tire Kicker/Not Interested
Preferred dates: Month.Date

My example -

Hornswoggler - Serious
Preferred dates: Jan. 26th, Feb. 9th, 16th, or 23rd

Horns if you want to go up there before the dates. I'd be in maybe you and I could just roll up there or a few others that could fit in the back seat. i am down for the drive.

[Hornswoggler]

tempting. That would need to be within the week, right? With all the recent winter expenses (xmas, snow tires, PS3, etc) I may not be baller enough to go twice this winter season... but maybe if we could get enough ppl that would go THIS saturday? Who would want to go on December 15th??

[haunter]

I'll check dates with the missus

she'll be up there teaching then anyways so probably any weekend would do

[2ks4 : Jason]

I might be sticking around till Chirstmas. I haven't spent a Chistmas with the fam since I was 18. Well one time I did when my stepfather died and my mums needed me there. So being the good son that every mother dreams about I should stay for the holiday. But Winter park is getting so much snow I don't want to miss any of these powder days.

[marty]

marty - serious
jan 19, jan 26, feb 9, feb 16, feb 23

this saturday (dec 16) - not gonna happen for me.

[haunter]

i def cant go right now

dropping too mu7ch $$ on xmas shit

[Larz]

I can go this saturday or any of the dates you have posted so far. I may be working in Iowa for December and part of January starting December 18th, so this Saturday may be it for me. If we are going this Saturday, give me a call in case I don't get on this site for a day or two.

[Hornswoggler]

Just throwing this out there for anybody interested...

Wisconsin Chapter BMW CCA is hosting a 60 minute enduro team race at CIR on Monday, December 31st. Teams can be 2 or 3 ppl, I believe cost is $200 per team:

http://www.badgerbimmers.org/main/karting2007.shtml

I have other plans that day/night so can't make it... but if anybody was going to take this up, will need to be a BMWCCA member.

[goodee]

Goodee - Serious
Jan. 19th, 26th, Feb. 16th, 23rd

[Dan]

Dan - serious.

Date - don't care...what's going to take priority?

[Hinshaw]

Count me in!

[Kapoosh1]

I'm in if it's a sunday.....

[Hinshaw]

P.s. I'm SERIOUS about this

[Chefasaurus]

I'm all-in!





Provided, of course, it's on a sunday, and I have 2 weeks advance notice.

[MoeBawlz]

Im definately in

[Hornswoggler]

List of those who are definately in:
MoeBawlz
HinshawWrx
Dan
Goodee
Larz
marty
fizz

Conditional:
Chefasaurus (must be a sunday)
Kapoosh1 (must be a sunday)

[BWG]

What's the final date?

[badbu68]

I would go if I knew at least a week or two in advance as well as it on a Saturday.

[dnace]

I will probably pass if this is this soon. Planning on going skiing in Jan.

[haunter]

I should be golden as long as its in Jan

[Hornswoggler]

What's the final date?


no final date yet, still need to generate more interest. The grand prix is a minimum of 8 drivers... I want to find a date that atleast 10+ ppl say they are serious, incase anybody drops.

Seems like a few votes for Sunday, would that work best for everyone? I am thinking January 27th (Sunday).

[haunter]

works for me

[marty]

pretty much either saturday or sunday is fine by me.

[goodee]

I use Sunday to recover. However, I'll do Sunday if that's the only day you can get enough people for. Otherwise, I vote Saturday for sure.

[Brok3n]

Brok3n - Serious - anytime i live about 15 miles away from CIR :)

[haunter]

I use Sunday to recover. However, I'll do Sunday if that's the only day you can get enough people for. Otherwise, I vote Saturday for sure.

thats a good idea

i usually crash on sundays and sleep most of it

[BWG]

All depends on what weekend.

[wrigmiata]

What is the age limit for this? Devin is 13 now if he can run we would both go. Perfer Saturday or during the week.

[digitalseance]

I thought when we went last time it was 18 and up IIRC; Horns can chime in to confirm...

[Hornswoggler]

I know the age question has come up before (Larz asked, maybe?) but I can't find the post (must have been a PM). I do not think the juniors are allowed in this grand prix format, but they have some separate programs available for the youngins.

[Hornswoggler]

Current list:

Hornswoggler
MoeBawlz
HinshawWrx
Dan
Goodee
Larz
marty
Brok3n

Conditional:
fizz (only in january)
badbu68 (must be a saturday)
Chefasaurus (must be a sunday)
Kapoosh1 (must be a sunday)
NewScooby (only if it falls within some wacky date range and time restrictions)

We have reached the minimum of 8. If the date we pick is in alignment with the conditionals, we may get more. I may be driving in a CIR enduro Feb. 2nd, might not hurt to get in some practice before then!

Since some people want saturday and some people want sunday, its going to have to be one or the other. With travelling and all, I much prefer saturday (opens up more options for post-karting chicago activities). I am going to suggest January 26th (this is a saturday). My apologies to anybody this leaves out, it is just not possible to pick one date that everybody is happy with.

[Larz]

I'm in for the 26th. I asked about young drivers last time. My brother was 13. It was a no go.

[haunter]

I'll double check but I am 99% sure I'm free

[marty]

im in for the 26th

[Dan]

26th works for me.

[Hornswoggler]

original post has been overhauled to reflect the most current information.

we will need 8 confirmed drivers before setting this in stone. Since these dates can be booked one month in advance, I am setting December 26th as the deadline for signing up.

I may require pre-payment for this event, either in partial or in full.

[BWG]

Give me a date and if I'm off that weekend I'll come.

[Hornswoggler]

Give me a date and if I'm off that weekend I'll come.


January 26th.

[Hornswoggler]

With so few confirmed and I will be up there Feb. 2nd for a NASA Midwest karting enduro, I think I am going to postpone this event. We will go again, for sure, just bad timing I guess.

For those possibly interested in the karting enduro, there might be room. official thread HERE (http://www.nasaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=19203). The event is 3 hours of on-track action, split between 3 drivers (one hour per driver). Cost is $145 per person. If you are serious, check with Brian Domont (http://www.nasaforums.com/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=3627) ASAP.

[dnace]

This is tempting as I have a consert the night before. What team are you on?

[Hornswoggler]

I am on team #7 (but could be subject to change)

if we get a solid group of three, i may be able to find a sub. I dont know those other two guys, but pretty sure they have more competitive karting experience than I do.

Anybody interested in forming a team? Not sure if nasa membership is required or not (I am one, so should be able to get a team together)

[haunter]

man, i was coming on to confirm for the 26th......

I'm sure wortdog would go too

[Hornswoggler]

I would prefer to roll this into the enduro but if we DO have 8 committed by the deadline (dec. 26th), I'll still put this on.

fizz, should I add you to the confirmed list?

[marty]

my girlfriend said she would go, so that is another confirmed attendee. horny, fizz, goodee...you should get you're wifes/fiance to go. i don't want my girlfriend to be the only female in attendance :p

[haunter]

yes


and I can't afford really the 150+other expenses on the enduro, thats alot for my first karting trip


hahaah marty, my fiance is afraid of parking lot ebrake snow drifts, I think karting woudl make her pee her pants

[Hornswoggler]

my wife would like it but not worth $85 to her. I don't want to push the idea either since I don't want to pay for it, hah.

[haunter]

I'll PM brok3n to check and confirm......

and call wortdog


that nasa link is 404'ing on me horny for the enduro

[Hornswoggler]

that nasa link is 404'ing on me horny for the enduro

I see it fine. Maybe you need logged in?

can you get to:
http://www.nasaforums.com/

[marty]

well, i guess i should say my girlfriend is a conditional attendee... i'm not going to make her go if there are no other wimmin folk :p

[haunter]

i cant see nasa forums from work right now

but we are having a rare internet issue currently

[digitalseance]

rare internet issue currently

1D-10T error? Insight tends to get those... :p

[wortdog]

Yeah, I'll go. Whenever it is. I have no life.

[Hornswoggler]

Two more confirmed and its on!

No backing out. If you say you are in, you are in. ;)

If we keep it at 10 or under, EVERYBODY gets to participate in the final race!

[marty]

wort told me he wants some segment analysis. something about how he thinks he is the best driver or something like that?

[wortdog]

Nope, just thought it'd be cool to have.

[haunter]

1D-10T error? Insight tends to get those... :p

We don't have insight at work, we need too much reliability to use them :p

Our DNS server seems to be acting up randomly

[Hornswoggler]

GPS won't work from inside the building! (or else I would!!!)

wort had some pretty impressive laptimes last outing... their post-race reports are nice. Now if I could figure out how to shave .3 seconds off each lap and stay out of trouble... hehe.

[gary p]

I'm in for Jan 26th

[marty]

well now we're screwed :p

[haunter]

I'm in for Jan 26th

hell yes! now we have an automotive bigwig going with us!

[Hinshaw]

I gotta check if thats a Saturday I work or not, I should know within a week or so, and if I have the money saved up I'm in. (shouldn't be a problem)

So put me as tenative.

[gary p]

hell yes! now we have an automotive bigwig going with us!

Yes, my career in retail automotive managment makes me uniquely qualified to be a mediocre kart racer. :p

[wortdog]

Ahh, I figured it also had accelerometers in it. Oh well.

If you shave about 30lbs off you'll have those .3 Horny :p

Gary P will kill us all. :D

[RacerX11]

I think we have seen that weight doesn't have as big of an impact as some people think.

But overall, my money is on Goodee.

[marty]

is goodee even going?

[Dan]

I think we have seen that weight doesn't have as big of an impact as some people think.

But overall, my money is on Goodee.

I'm ready for him...remember Norway?

[Hornswoggler]

But overall, my money is on Goodee.

you BOTH need to confirm!! :)

[haunter]

Yes, my career in retail automotive managment makes me uniquely qualified to be a mediocre kart racer. :p

so uh


you should borrow a outlook from work for us to 'car' pool in :D

I'll be bugging the old man about it later tonight I think.

he didnt go last time because I didnt

[dnace]

I'm ready for him...remember Norway?

I rmember being faster than you :P

[Hornswoggler]

I rmember being faster than you :P

time for you to step up and deliver. better get it in before you are married... :eek:

[Dan]

I rmember being faster than you :P

You can't even spell remember douche bag. :p

[Brok3n]

count me in and i have a friend who if confirmed also

[Hornswoggler]

You can't even spell remember douche bag. :p


I predict a shanking over this!

[BWG]

Is this the 26th for sure? Let me know if you get enough people and I'll take the day off.

[BWG]

I predict a shanking over this!

I'll bring a ground down plastic spoon.

[Hornswoggler]

count me in and i have a friend who if confirmed also

your friend will need to pre-pay ahead of time. Sorry but scortboy's friend ruined this for non-members. Let me secure the date first and we'll go from there.

[Hornswoggler]

Is this the 26th for sure? Let me know if you get enough people and I'll take the day off.

yep, we ahve reached 8.

If it goes over 10 ppl, we may be looking at an additional ~$10 for consolation race.

[BWG]

Put me down for coming then. I'll request the day off tomorrow.

[goodee]

I'm ready for him...remember Norway?

My ribs won't soon forget. Just because I screw up and end up parked sideways in the middle of the track doesn't mean you get to show what a lowsy kart driver you are and t-bone my ass. :D

Sorry for not confirming yet. Work has become a major variable. Our new owners (GateHouse Media - boooooo, hisssssss!) have been laying people off right and left the last 2 weeks. Luckily I'm well below those poor folks pay grade so I look secure for now.

I realize this is on a Saturday but we've been asked to be around for the next few weeks, even on weekends, to help pick up the slack from the aforementioned retirees.

Any of you CAT folks have openings in your IT department?

[Hornswoggler]

dnace will recruit you...

[BWG]

Nice abuse of mod powers there Horns

[Dan]

bone my ass. :D

Thanks for the offer, but...

[dnace]

dnace will recruit you...

haha dude I do college recruits

[goodee]

Thanks for the offer, but...

It's scary to know what's going on inside your brain (I was going to say head, but I figured you would do your "selective editing" again).

[haunter]

your friend will need to pre-pay ahead of time. Sorry but scortboy's friend ruined this for non-members. Let me secure the date first and we'll go from there.

thats what you get for trustings druggies

[gary p]

I'll be bugging the old man about it later tonight I think.

he didnt go last time because I didnt


That could possibly be arranged.

[BWG]

thats what you get for trustings druggies

I was told he spent all the money for the trip on a new bong.

[haunter]

:laughing1:

[MoeBawlz]

Im definately in for the 26th. I may have others who are interested Ill ask around

[haunter]

wry-wrx and my dad are both 'interested'

[Hornswoggler]

let me know when they are committed and willing to pre-pay.

For those going, if the attendance goes over 10 ppl, are you willing to pitch in an extra $10 or $15 so those who do not make the final race can drive a consolation race?

[haunter]

yes.


you seriously want EVERYONE to prepay a month ahead of time?

or just 'friends'

wry and my dad are both technically sisynet'ers members :D

but seriously. Its a bad time to ask for a pre-pay, a week before xmas....just a thought.

I'll prepay if you want a bit of a guarentee. As long as 8 prepay we are golden right? don't they just need 24 horu notice of the actual #?

[BWG]

yes.

Agreed, it's going to have to wait until after Jan 1st.

[marty]

i would think that if you're not willing to prepay then we need some garantee you're not going to back out at the last minute.

[haunter]

I'm ok with it, but some people can't know for sure they are free 100% till much closer, and prepay keeps them from being able to go.


Like I said, I'll prepay

others may not be able to

hence my question about if 8 prepaying is enough

[dnace]

maybe a month ban if you back out?

[BWG]

I'm ok to pre-pay just not in the next 10 days.

[Hornswoggler]

I'll prepay if you want a bit of a guarentee. As long as 8 prepay we are golden right? don't they just need 24 horu notice of the actual #?

IIRC, we can ADD ppl up to 24 hours before the event, but to drop # attending needs two weeks notice (to avoid penalty). Working back from this date, IF I require pre-pay, it would be due by January 7th (gives me time to put the money together and send a check to CIR).

I am still undecided to collect in advance or not, but my statement be willing definately applies and it may be asked to send payment in advance. "Friends" or inactive forum members must pre-pay. We can thank scortboy's friend for all this.

[Hornswoggler]

I'm ok with it, but some people can't know for sure they are free 100% till much closer, and prepay keeps them from being able to go.



This is EXACTLY why I am requiring pre-pay!!!!

You need to be 100% committed to attending, or pay the financial penalty. If they can't pre-pay three weeks in advance, I am not going to take the financial risk for them. Sorry, but that situation might be best suited for an arrive-n-drive event.

[haunter]

so.


we prepay our EIGHT people.

then if we add people the day before, no one is out $$$

correct?

quit not answering my question directly, this is not a tech support phone call :amad:

:D


I'm sure its best to get as many as possibly to prepay, but as long as we hit our magic #.....

we can add people a few days before hand.......?

[Hornswoggler]

I would rather sign one contract and not have to ammend it for people who are non-committal. Doing the floating thing (variable head count) just causes more work for me, which I am not interested in doing.

If I do decide on pre-pay, I should make it consistent for everyone. So far, I have not organized a karting trip where somebody didn't back out within the two week window. Pre-pay should avoid that stress and reduce my financial liability for no-shows.

If somebody would rather manage it so we can all avoid the pre-pay thing, I would be glad to let you. Just be prepared to provide CIR a credit card number so they can put the $850 hold on it for a month. :)

wow.

gotcha.

didnt realize how that all worked out.

I'll talk to Wry and my dad.

you would want it by when exactly?

[Hornswoggler]

Jan. 7th would be the pre-pay date.

I need to first secure the date with CIR, they take them one month in advance so after xmas I will snag the date with them. Once I get the contract signed, etc. I'll collect payment. Jan 7th would be the latest I need payment by.

None of this in stone yet...

IF I require pre-pay, it would be due by January 7th (gives me time to put the money together and send a check to CIR).

[Dan]

No problem with pre-pay...remind me if the deadline sneaks up and I haven't got it to you....

[Hornswoggler]

I know today is the deadline but I did not call CIR yet to lock in this date. This is last call... if you want to go, let me know TONIGHT!

The list as it stands now:
Hornswoggler
Larz
marty
Dan
fizz
wortdog
gary p
brok3n
BWG
MoeBawlz

January 7th I will be collecting pre-payment

[haunter]

sounds good

wry-wrx my coworked is in as well, he asked me today when we had to prepay

I will prod the old man tonight again

[Hornswoggler]

My phone line at home hasn't been working right so I have been away from fax machine for a while (required when making the reservation). Will call CIR tomorrow while at work.

[BWG]

How do we pay for this? I refuse to use paypal ever again.

[Hornswoggler]

How do we pay for this? I refuse to use paypal ever again.

once we get locked into the 26th, i'll have everybody drop me a check in the mail.

[Dan]

What time of the day are you aiming for?

[dnace]

Did you already book this or can I get in?

[Hornswoggler]

Did you already book this or can I get in?

Not booked yet. if you are serious, I can add you to the list.

maybe hit up Texas de brazil on the way back?? Just had some last night, review coming soon. Not bad w/ 50% off coupon (bill was $21, and the filet was good!)

[dnace]

with a coupon for sure, otherwise might want to try something cheaper

[haunter]

no way I am spending 50 bucks on dinner after I drop a 100 bucks go karting.


hell, I'd prefer the cheapest thing we can all stand!(sliders anyone :D)

[BWG]

no way I am spending 50 bucks on dinner after I drop a 100 bucks go karting.


hell, I'd prefer the cheapest thing we can all stand!(sliders anyone :D)

Barth, but yeah I'm not spending $50 on a meal.

[Hornswoggler]

I would not spend $50 for texas de brazil either. All I am saying is that with a coupon, and being up there already, its a bit more reasonable. Any post-karting dinner activity would be optional (of course). G-STAPA is not for everyone.

[Hornswoggler]

We are up to 12 people. Everybody will get in three qualifying races, but only 10 will make it to the final race. This means one of two things:

1. The two slowest qualifiers will have to sit for the final race

or

2. Everybody can pay an addtl. $10 (total = $120) for the last two to have a consolation race.

$120 is a lot for two people to have the track to themselves. I would prefer to see a third option: everybody pitches in a few bucks to buy those two an "arrive-n-drive" race, where they can mix it up with other people not part of the party. I will ask about this when I call.

I am requesting track 2 in the clockwise direction. This is a favorite in a chicagoracers.com CIR poll. I have not driven it yet but it seems much preferred over track 1 clockwise.

We are IN for January 26th! Check-in will be 2:45 PM. We should be done and out of there by 5:00 PM (can go find some dinner afterwards if anybody is up for it). I have requested track 2 clockwise, they will try their best to accomidate this but we will not know for sure until the day of.

Cost for the karting is $85 per person and I have to pay ahead of time. This is different than it used to be, so I will have to collect payments in advance. You can mail personal check to:

Collin Mizeur
6 White Oak Court
Washington, IL 61571

I can also accept paypal from bank account (I think credit card transactions cost extra?). cmizeur@verizon.net. Be sure and mention your screen name w/ payment... although I know most all of you.

This includes a consolation race so EVERYONE will participate in a final race. Knowing this, does anybody else (digitalseance?) want to register as well? I can bump up the # attending... knowing there is a consolation race, I think it would be fun to have 20 ppl going!

If you want added but not on the roster already, let me know ASAP.

Time for a caravan and post-karting dinner thread...

I am paying for the event today, so drop the check in the mail as soon as you can. Absolute latest would be Jan. 11, so I have time to drop the ppl who have not paid (or find an alternate).

I will post after dinner when I know if my dad is going for sure or not

[BWG]

Never mind

wait wait a consolidation race with two people? that is stupid.

[Hornswoggler]

I was able to negotiate our consolation race to be $5 a person instead of $10... new price is $85 per person!!

I found an error on their web page with the old price of $5, lol. They fixed the link but are nice enough to honor my finders fee. :)

Easy to say that now, but when you are putting together an event of 13 people (like last time) and three are sitting out for the final race, it sucks.

I asked if they were having arrive and drive that day, but they might be booked solid so we can't count on it.

Is there any reason we couldn't put the top 6 in the final race and the bottom 5 in the consolation?

CIR may do something like that. Maybe 8 in the final and 4 in the consolation? we can ask once we get there.

[dnace]

I like even 6 and 6 would be good. if you get 7th don't think you should be in the primary. do they stage us based on qualifying laps?

You available tonight or Sunday for your "services"?

[Hornswoggler]

maybe Sunday. Still taking it easy. You itching to play the drums? :)

[Hornswoggler]

Ok, we have 13 people on target for this event. Broken has confirmed with me that he and his friend are still "in".

I can still add people up until January 24th so if anybody still wants in, let me know and we can work something out. Let's see if we can get some more people to go... up to 20 would be cool.

I heard more about the consolation format this week. Both the consolation and final race are full, 10 people each race. Consolation is between everybody that didnt make the cut to the final, so top 3 qualifiers will sit out while the bottom 10 fight for the 4-10th positions in the final. End result means more seat time for most of those going!

drewz is busy that day I already asked him............
