Absolutely, the more the merrier

They have a little grandstand area to sit and watch and even a glass separated lounge area for significant others/kids to get away from all the noise.

We can always use a photographer too.

If you fit in an FD, you'll fit in one of their karts!

It is going to be cold and they've already put some salt down so bringing your 7 is optional, but always encouraged
I'll be there. Anyone want to grab something to eat beforehand or afterwards?

Plenty of stuff in the area. There's a good pizza place or we could do Famous Daves... Doesn't matter to me.

All kinds of chains and such at Dulles towne center. Also Reston/herdon etc is not far away. I am still on the hunt for a good pizza place. I know of good micro brew chain near my house. But that's about it.

Pizza is about as subjective as things can get but my favorite is right in the area. It's called The Don's. It's in the Home Depot plaza right down the street from CFA/Karting. They make their own mozzarella in-house and import all their ingredients from Italy. It's New York style thin-crust fold-it-in-half pizza and it kicks ***. YMMV.

Vlad, you're welcome to meet us at my house, or you can meet us around Liberia ave/ rt. 28 somewhere. We'll be heading that direction on the way up.

I am skeptical about us being able to get in and out of a restaurant in a timely manner. Along with people coming from so many different locations, and dealing with Friday traffic. I propose we all show up to AllsportsGP and have some pizza there. We can watch some racing and chill in their lounge area together and people can show up as they will.

I'll set the time at 6:30 to call in the order. If you are not there by then and want to have some pizza make sure you either call someone who is already there and have them place an order for you or call Allsports and have them take a message for Rocky.

But, first things first. I don't know if AllsportsGP will allow us to do this so I need to call them when they open (1:00) and check.

Sound good?

Woot, great to have ya Mike.

To everyone: I was going to bring the 7 tonight but after seeing a 'wintery mix' in our forecast I think she'll be staying at home. If you are still driving yours be careful.
