  • Little 500 night #3

    Is anyone up for a night of mindless entertainment? The whole racing scene is so slow at this time of year, I suggest we all need to blow off a little steam. There is no better place for that than the Little 500 track in Orlando. It is a short track oval with epoxy corners, so you actually have to drive your kart. Lap times are in the 12 second range (lower for me of course), so the scale is about right. Its got all the fun of racing with none of the responsibility! No fees, no hassle, no problems. Everyone is invited and everyone will be welcomed.

    We've had two get-togethers there in the past: both were in early March 2007 and 2008. We need to find a night that does not interfere with real racing. It looks like Jan. 24'th is a pretty slow night. Speedweeks/Winter Nationals are still a week away and the closest operating track is 200 miles distant.

    Another possibility is Feb. 28. That is before the area tracks open, but it is after Speedweeks, so we may all be out of money. Suggestions for a date?

          Hey Boneman I'll be driving your car of choice in the Monster Jam, A 77' Cadillac Hearse.

            A hearse! Nice! I was hoping the crash a rama type events would save the night for me. I am totally not into monster trucks, but my 3 boys are, so if it helps them to get hooked on motorsports, then its terrific.

            Is Chuck Rush working for Monster Jam this year? I miss him on this board; that guy was so full of it.

            Hey Old Style 2, are you coming to kart night, whenever it is? We've never met, but I am looking forward to it.

            I see there has been under-whelming response to my request for feedback regarding the date. Lets just revert back to the old date that we've used before: Feb. 28. In that past, that had conflicted with the SSS, but there will be no conflict THIS year.

            That means that Mike45 can make it. At last, someone even Frasson can beat!

              I will be there, maybe with a little more padding this time. Last time there I ended up with bruised ribs.

                The only way to get bruised at Little 500 is if you try to cut in front of me at the tailgate buffet! Padding? Are you kidding?

                  Was looking forward to actually making this one but not the date of Feb. 28th. That is my wedding anniversary and I don't think hubby wants to go race go carts (I do) for our anniverasary. I am still putting it on the calendar just to see what happens.

                    Any date you pick is fine with me... it's less than 10 minutes from my house.

                    I did get in a few practice runs the other day, I got 1 win and 2 second place finishes, after starting last in each race. I got you ALL covered this year!

                        I'm down for whichever date. It's about time I show that motorsports drivers really are the best drivers at the track on the weekend.

                          COUNT ME IN-----maybe

                          Don't know if I can make it. I've been outta work since Dec. 5th. Hopefully the Doc releases me on Monday to return. If I can afford to go then you can count me in. Maybe I'll hitch a ride with Joe.


                          P.S. Can I bring my own Kart????
