I called up On Track Karting yesterday to get some information on a TJR karting event similar to the Turkey Day Shootout that I attended last year at F1Boston. The website is
http://www.ontrackkarting.com for those who wish to visit the site. My contact there still has to get back to me but she gave me some unofficial pricing. If we rent out the track for 1 hour it will cost $1200 and for each additional half hour after that it will be $500. I consider this very good pricing. Also, we would have to do this at 10am to 11am b/c they open at 11am and they are willing to open up the facility an hour early so we can have the track.(Hard to believe that I'm actually upset with a facility that prefers not to shut down during normal operating hours to the public. Those of you who go to F1Boston will understand this the most.) The maximum number of karts that can be on track is 15. Now, I have no idea how many people would be interested in attending this event that's why I wanted to post here to gauge interest. This would be on a Saturday in the next 2 or 3 weeks. I know it is really short notice, but I can never seem to think long term. So, last year's shootout was on the saturday immediately following Thanksgiving Day. I think I remember that some people were unable to attend b/c of the proximity to the holiday. So, please post if you think you would like to come on Nov. 18th, 25th or dec 2nd. For myself with no marriage or kids, I have no problem attending the 18th after Thanksgiving so this would be more at everyone else's convenience since I'm always free to race.
