why not have the end of a road rally at a go-kart joint!?! HOT DAMN i'm the man with the master plan!
I'm all for that.
Who was it I took second behind when we were karting in Detroit year before last...? Hopefully this time Stazi won't get stuck with a velocity-challenged kart, and we can have some good ol' fashioned RACING.
That was I. Was looking forward for my chance to repeat last year, but never happened. Definitly a blast in 04! I take it there is no kart2kart type place nearby FT. Wayne?

Know of any good scenery around?
Just a thought? 
Personally I like the photography idea but maybe thats something we can do after the dyno since I'm not sure if I'm gonna hit the track or not.
I've never gone gokarting before so I'm in on that 100%

Who's to say you'll repeat?  Being the selfless soul that I am, I shall nobly do my best to remove the burden of victory from your shoulders.
It would be nice if we could get a bunch of carts that were guaranteed to be identical, so we can all do a true driver-to-driver comparison, without anyone's cart being faster than another's. I always enjoyed that about the IROC races.

Thats not exactly far in go karts, say you put me 225 vs JD 135 in the same cart, his will out acellerate mine and be able to carry more speed into the corner becuase of the less weight. To make it really fair it would have to be higher hp Shifter karts. or Autox in stock SVT

You maybe a selfless soul, but I am a cocky a-hole, and I say equal karts there is no comparison  . I beleive were probaly about the same weight as well, lol. Did I mention my qualifying kart was my slowest one of the day, I think I had the pole by a second or so.... . Though I will admit I have had my arse handed to me at that track by someone a bit heavier than I 
Go karts would be fun, but if there are none like K2K then its pretty much a free for all, and I'm cool with that too
