Actually I had more trouble with the strong cart then I did the first one. First one I could just floor it and go. The 2nd one wanted to spin in the corners.

hmm....I just learned to get into the turn, get up to the apex and let off and pump the brake a couple times....it got a little tail happy on me once or twice, but no biggie.......

At Champs, all the carts are pretty even and all have a slight bit of oversteer (easy to spin in the turns), and the course is somewhat challenging. Every time I've been, I missed qualifying for the turbo-speed race by less than a second. Races should be driver ability, which means John probobly can put me in the wall Shocked

since he has the weight advantage by about 60 pounds. Smile

Ya I am just trying to figure out how long it would take if we did come in Friday night and hang out with you. I thought it was at least an hour further than that. If we get in there so late that no one is alive not much fun. If it was only 2.5 hours that isn't bad at all.

I can't really leave until probably 7pm Mike. If we leave saturday, we are probably going ot need to head out early, so we can get up there and still have a good amount of day left.

Agreed and I am in the same boat. Just trying to figure out the options.

You guys are welcome here also, I'm working on Friday and get home at about 6:00 pm. and normally stay up well past midnight on Fridays. We could catch a fairly early Saturday ferry up north and avoid Seattle traffic (almost always bad), I have reduced price coupons for car/driver, any passengers are free eastbound. I do that commute every day in about 2 hours, which includes time waiting for, loading, riding, offloading the ferry. Actual driving time is about 45 minutes.

Mike/John.. You guys can always come here... bbq... sleep... and head out early AM saturday. Saves ya 45min that way anyway.

Um... I think Ian was around 2-2.5hours. 2 hours to tacoma and like 20-30min to his place.

I'm about 45 minutes from Tacoma, actually. For reference, I'm 15 minutes north of Seattle. The show is ~8-10 minutes north of me.

Sounds about right. Those times are without significant traffic, which shouldn't be too much of a problem on Saturday. It would be aout a 90 mile trip (one way) for me without crossing the water.

ok well im gonna come up saturday morning to the cruise-in

iansane · Posted: Sat Jul 22, 2006 5:11 pm Post subject:

So there may be a slight problem. Scheduling conflicts at work are having me come in both saturday and sunday. I'm making some calls to other stores to see if I can get coverage but there are not guarantees.

Crap.

I don't have any problems hosting people any of the nights though. Just means you have to deal with my bitter ass. Laughing

Nah. Just bring back lots of pictures.
