**Shift518 Karting at GPNY [10/19/2008]** **IMPORTANT UPDATE 10/14/2008 (See 1-5 below)** **1. Meeting Location** Crossgates Mall, lot across from old Hooters location / escalator up to food court. See below ![http://images.uncleajg.multiply.com/image/2/photos/52/600x600/70/Meeting-Spot1.jpg?et=jqDRvYFpO1NVSDstHXusNw&nmid=75706857](http://images.uncleajg.multiply.com/image/2/photos/52/600x600/70/Meeting-Spot1.jpg?et=jqDRvYFpO1NVSDstHXusNw&nmid=75706857) **2. Meeting Time** 10/19 (Sunday) 9:00 AM Sharp. There’s a 10 minute “grace period” and we’ll take off at 9:10 AM. I’m sure that everyone would appreciate punctuality as there are many on this board taking time off from work and spending time away from family to be at this event. Let’s not inconvenience others. Thanks. Since I only know a couple of guys on this board, I’d appreciate it if some peeps could PM me cell numbers. I will then text you with my cell phone number so we can contact each other. **3. List Confirmation** If you are on this list but are no longer attending, please PM me. Likewise, if for some reason you are not on this list but are attending 100% please PM me. 1. OsoiNA6 2.

Venue & Schedule** GPNY (Grand Prix New York) > **[Grand Prix New York / Corporate Events / Event Venue](http://www.gpny.com)** > > Grand Prix New York is Westchester's premier indoor entertainment destination offering go-kart racing, bowling, redemption arcade and private event space. **Location** 333 North Bedford Road, Mount Kisco, NY 10549 **Schedule** 9 AM – Depart from Albany NY 12 PM – Race! 1 PM – #hit talking session I (aka lunch) 2 PM – More racing? 3 PM - #hit talking session II (aka snack) 4 PM - EVEN more racing? 5 PM – Head back to the 5-1-8 **5. Format** I’ll take a head count of who’s in the house once we get to the venue. Then, as suggested before, we’ll split up into 2 groups. One run group is for 200 lbs and up (heavy), other will be anyone below 200 lbs. If we are getting an uneven split of people we’ll adjust weight split down or up as necessary. Without paying a big wad of cash up front, there’s no way to reserve the track just for our group, so basically we will get people in a run group on the track at the same time. However, there may be a couple other random heads (read: innocent victims) thrown in just for some flavor… With some luck though we will have the track to ourselves for a couple runs (unless it’s super busy). Either way, it will still be a ton of fun with Shift members running amok and wreaking havoc. See you all at the track! - OsoiNA6 (Archie) **Cost** $10 membership fee (This appears mandatory) $25 per 16 lap race So you could spend anywhere from $35 to $60, depending on whether or not we do more than one race together. This is almost two months advance notice here, should be plenty of time for people to save up the funds. Mow that lawn, shake that a$$, peddle that schlong, do what you have to do (we won’t bat an eye if pay GPNY in singles, or even coins) **Cliff’s Notes** • Karting is a cheap way to go wheel to wheel racing. • GPNY is a professional facility with nice equipment to race with. • Event is planned for SUNDAY, 10/19. Leaving 9 AM, arriving back 7 PM or so. • Approximate cost will be $35 to $60, not including transportation costs • BONUS! This event is guaranteed to generate tons of new smack talk and drama- two Shift staples. • Don’t miss it! ---

My friend from school wanted me to go there this summer with her… never got a chance to unfortunately. She’s been there before and tells me those go karts are fucking insane. And yes they do go 40mph+. :ohnoes ---

Sweet… OK, how about a deadline of 9/30 for all those who are sitting on the fence? Please inform me about your decision by then. That way I have two weeks to make the reservation for the crew that is going. Thanks everyone. ---

I love high speed go carts. I went to the ones in Niagra. I sucked on the first few laps because I never did it before, but managed to ALMOST get on the last spot for the fastest lap times of the day or week (can’t remember)… Would have done so much better if I had more practice. ---
