Wow! I had an awesome time there today with a bunch of coworkers from my dealership. It's a place where you race in go-carts, topping out at about 35mph. I had 2nd thoughts about going but after a few laps...I was hooked!
We did 4 races and in the final race, I came in at 4th place...not bad for being my 1st time there.
Some of you should check it out, it's in Buffalo Grove.
I HIGHLY recommend it...

 

i've tried settin up a meet there 2x's and no success; people back out.
someday id like to go

 

Wow, one of the interns at my office went to Chicago for spring break. He was telling me he went to this indoor go kart place. I'm sure this is the same one. hah!

There's one in South Florida. After racing for 10 minutes, it started to become a chore. My forearms were like jelly...

 

I've been... I wasn't able to get the movements of the kart smooth enough. Fun though, kinda pricey too.

 

I'm a regular at CIR. Its a great place to learn.

If you haven't tried it you really should go and its better there to see how you do in a race situation than in your car.

The people who run the place is great - very friendly. The fastest guys there are very fast.

Here's a pic of me at a recent event at CIR:

I photoshopped this one

guy in the back is thinkin" I got served!" That place is great. I'll be back there on the 21st.

 

I am racing at CIR tomorrow night, anyone want to go with? Your free to invite friends too!

 

Wow! One of my old topics has been resurrected!
I was actually invited last week by a coworker but I couldn't go, due to family obligations...

 

if ur racing tomorrow night, say hi to me ill be working dressing rooms.
ill probably be wearing gucci glasses and curly hair, unless i refuel then my hair will be a mess.
heres a little info for all of u that read this. working w/ scion to have a meet here durin the autoshow for scion owners :-O
shhhh
dont tell nobody
im drunk, i cant keep a secret

i wont see this by tomorrow so make sure u say hi. my tc will be in the lot w/ the messed up wheels.

 

I go there a lot and wear the same uniform in the pics above. I'll definitely say hello if I see you there.

 

be there the 9th

 

thats el.
figured it out once i saw him, duh.
ill call in the AM and make sure the time slot is still open. looked like it was. so jim, if u can get a couple, el said hed get a couple (no ridk ) and theres a few of us we should have a good turnout w/ good racers.

 

That was me alright!

I saw your tc outside. Nice ride!

I am hoping I can keep next Saturday open! I might have a family function I need to go to. I hopw I can make it to the scionlife race.

 

My department had an event there a couple of weeks ago. It was a great time. I was pulling high 15 - 16 second laps on course 2 (I think it's 2, the one to the far right when you exit the dressing rooms.)

I think total that day we did 95 laps. My arms were feeling it, but it was totally worth it.

 

thats not bad times for ur first time on track 2. ive worked there for a few months and only really done 3 races on that track and iwas low 15's after 2 races.

el hope u can make it (ill email u also) sat, be there 530

sam if u want to go let me know, i think we can use about 4 people still and it would be 65 each

 

Not this one as we have a team event planned, however, I'd love to get together something in the future (maybe a little NRG vs SE? ) I can hear the sh*t talking now.

 

im working on that already

 

Sweet. I think it would be a good time. Let Poo or myself know if there's anything we can do to help.

 

I was thinkin about that yesterday. it would be fun to have a "Best Scion Racing team" in Chicago! We could even have a team trophy to show with the car club at shows.

 

Yeah! That's a good idea! Maybe pick a weekend when there's no local shows?
