Has Anyone ever gone to K1?
which k1 is this gonna be at? dont go to irvine they are like 24sec(fast lap).
anaheim's track is much better and is 33sec (fast laps).
if its gonna be held i may come along +3.depending on school schedule and if i'll be down from la since its a sunday
btw. sunday is normally good(uncrowded). friday is good if we want to show up the scion tc meet people who go there every week at 8pm haha

Sounds good to me. I havent been to Anaheim location yet.
I'll post more info and send PMs as the date gets closer.
i find it alot easier to spin out with the gas ones like Dromo 1 has. but K1 experiences were overall better than Dromo's. Track/reversing capability(D1 is like being at boomers.. waiting for someone to pull you)/ and better workers who arnt asses about everything.
if its a big enough group, rather than time attack runs. you might wanna do "GP event", which is pole position + practice + actual race. and you get a trophy/medals lol. dont know if they custom it... like "best of rx-7club 1/19/09"
approx. 20miles? if that.. as long as its shorter than ucla->oc. its short to me
beware of the SMOG CHECK COPS though! i normally use a back entrance they always set up those smog stations on the main roads of La Palma randomly.
backroad =
from UCI 5N -> 57N -> exit lincoln ->make right off exit -> make left at rio vista(?) ->make left at end of the road (it's a big straight) ->make right at light(La palma) ->then right turn on white star street... or blue gum.. i forget.
I didnt realize it was so close to my house.
2cute: You've been to the irvine K1 right? what kinds of times were you running?
Personally i suck and was running low to mid 24's and the fast lap of the week was 22.00.

i usually go to carlsbad cuz its substantially closer to me house
the last few times ive gone however ive been severely disappointed. i use to go all the time when they first opened. and then didnt go for a while
it seems like they havent changed the tires on the karts since they opened the place. there is literally no way to get through a corner with the karts now without losing the back. i tried everything and im not the only one that noticed.
its funny cuz when we got out of the karts we were discussing it and the kid that worked there was like well real racecar driviers dont stay on the gas the whole track. i just shook my head and said something to the effect of thanks captain obvious
They have discounts, but its not really worth it. Its like 5 bucks less than normal and you get a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place medal. And its more of a race "grand prix" style.
I think it would be better to just race, post times, then compare & contrast.

I'm interested...
Karts in general rule. Never tried K1 but I've been to Speedzone a couple times. Last time I was there it was $10 for all you could play arcade (the crappy games only) once you had the card you could add tracks for $10 per. I got slick track and the grand prix.
Had the fastest lap of the evening on grand prix by about 2.5 seconds. My last session was 40.10x, couldn't quite break into the 39s.

it will be dependent on how busy i am that week
plus i know how these things go a million people say they are going to show then like 3 actually do
Also, i know at least 3 of my (non-rx7)buddies will be joining the group, so if only a couple people from the club show up, we'll still have plenty of people for it to be fun.

the grad prix is what 50$?
i dont think it even costs that much. thats nothing. and thats a **** load of seat time.
iirc its like 14 laps is 25$ tops. that not much
evil ls tards are coming?

) But its a once a year fee. $6 per yer.comes out to about $1 a lap.
Like i said, i spent about roughly 3 hours there and had a blast.
As for the "LS tards" So far its just me and Joel with our tractor motors. Race Car Driver Andrew is a lil scurred. Poor guy.
**Edit**
Also guys, you dont HAVE to do the $50 for three races. you can show up and do a $20 deal too.

i have a turbo s2k fanatic and miata guy who wants to come along. not sure on how flakey they are gonna be tho. but they've been on top 10 on this track before.. 32-33secs.. i dont come close at 34sec best lap. 35avg
your drive there and back will be 3x more than your drive on the karts lol. well worth it. Gran prix style records lap times too i think so you might want to re-check into it. OH another thing... if theres not enough people in the group... strangers with small groups will be added.. some of them are real a'holes who think its bumper cars
