| Go Karting at Buick Horsepower Nationals in Indy Well I've been trying to think of something to do for those of us not planning on going to the bars. I found out about an indoor go kart place called Fast Times that has 270cc 9hp go karts. Now these aren't your everday kiddie go karts, they do up to 40 mph, and reguire a full safety suit, helmet, and that you're 18 years old. From what I have heard the karts will do burnouts when you floor it. The track is 2 levels high and over 900' long. The event would take place on Thursday June 29th at 6pm, it takes about 20 minutes to get to the kart place from the track or the Hilton Hotel. There are two ways to setup the event. We do either fast lap time, so everyone has equal seat time. Or, there's a Grand Prix style with qualifying heat races, and then a final event with top drivers from each race (kind of like a bracket). Either way the top 3 drivers will receive trophies and the top driver will receive a shirt. The whole event will include access to a 10 ft projector screen that we can play Buick racing videos on and a catered italian buffet dinner. The price will be between $80-100 per person but you're welcome to bring family with you for free. We'll be the only ones in the facility besides for their staff for the time we have the place rented. Here's the website, they have a bunch of pictures of the karts, food, and entertainment areas. http://www.fastimesindoorkarting.com/ Please let me know if you're interested, there will be a deposit before the scheduled date to make our reservations. I need 32 people in order to rent the place out at that rate. If you're interested you can either pm me or contact me at Mengele62@yahoo.com Please include an email adress I can easily reach you at if you PM me. I'll try to keep everyone posted as more stuff comes up. |

 | My car club does carting for fun and I think it's an excellent idea! When is this event? I"m originally from Indiana and need to visit the family sometime.

| Valparaso but I just did a mapquest and it is only 11 hours to the track which is closer the bowling green(am not going because  ) but I lived in Schaumburg IL and have a buddy that has a 70 GS that I usually meet up with every year (before kids) did it for 6 years. Now kids are old enough not to pi$$ off mommy if she is left alone with them. If he does not want to go and we still go out might take you up on the ride.

| I've got a buddy that lives in Indy, and I went to Fast Times the last time I was there. That place is f*$@ing cool. The carts will actually shot out flames from the tailpipes at they are shut down.

| IF I get a chance to go I'll be up for some go carts. Might even meet the South Bend crew for the drive down since they'll probably take 31.

Valparaiso is a little far west from where I'm at. If you want to meet me part way or something near 31 then that would be fine. As for the South Bend group as of right now I'm the only person who I know is going down but I'll be taking 31 down on Thursday morning. I'm not sure if Pat and Sam will be going or not. If you're almost positive you'll be going please email me your full name to Mengele62@yahoo.com so I can get an idea of how many people we have interested. I need 32 people to get the $80 per person rate so once I get about 40 people I will start setting everything up. I've heard a lot of good reviews about the facilities at Fast Times. I'll be going down there in the next couple weeks to check it out and set things up. | |
