Fall weather go karting is coming up!

Keep your skills honed during the off season – in cool weather!

Still the cheapest track time there is out there. The track is a nice sized outdoor road course with elevation changes, sweepers and tight corners, etc. The karts are fast enough to develop your skills in race craft and driving at speed. (Steve at Euro Rallye has been working on the carburetor tuning and has managed to both quicken and equalize the Karts at the same time). Karting is widely regarded in the racing community as an excellent way to develop and hone skills. You cannot duplicate this opportunity to practice setting up and making passes in a traditional "driving school" environment.


3 hours of track time for $115 vs. their normal charge for a group of ten - for only one hour of time - at $100 per person (seems like a no-brainer to me). As another point of comparison, visit the indoor "Victory Lane" commercial “pro” track in Charlotte, ostensibly the one the NASCAR boys use to stay sharp; it is an order of magnitude more expensive - something like $20 for every seven minute session, so I think you can see the value.

Not to mention the fun.


The dates are:


October 9 (Saturday) 9am-12pm



October 23 (Saturday) 1pm-4pm



November 6 (Saturday) 9am-12pm



November 13 (Saturday) 9am-12pm



December 4 (Saturday) 9am-12pm


We have had a great deal of fun with this so far this year; let’s do it again!

Thanks,
