[Robk0000]

SCS WINS!





EVENT INFO

NE-Jbody.org will be competing against SeaCoastSubarus for the first time in an all out CHamp Kart Racing battle.
This will be a 10 vs 10 driver battle for the best lap time or best team standing. We will run in two groups, SCS and NeJbo.
Each group will have 3 Races, 35 laps each for a total of 105 LAPS. see details below

[f1vlad]

i am definitely interested in checkin it out

[Jon]

I'd like to check it out. It's going to feel more like nascar than a tight autocross. I kinda like the challenge of turning left and right rather than higher speeds and running just on an oval. It might be fun though. Maybe next weekend i'd be up for it.

[TurboRush]

I am in

[Robk0000]

Rich is the owner there, he is the one that called me. Sounds like a really cool dude too. So what day you guys planning on?

I prefer Sat then, sleep up there cause im not getting home at 4 in the morning again! I would say next Sat or the following. 10/8 or 10/15 i wish i can make a poll

[Nate8409]

I'm in.

[Robk0000]

Okay i called Rick and talked with him for a while, I told him that we will go on the 15th, unless things change. And we need 8 people to get good prices. otherwise we go from 8pm to 12pm for $10 a run. So, im going to update post one and make a list of people going. Also a cool thing he told me is that there is No "no bumping". So its a free for all.


Sign up if you want to go, also if you are willing to caravan/carpool post up and we can make a destination for a meet up.

[Jon]

the whole no "no bumping" thing IMHO is going to suck. I can see people spinning every other person out. But the 15th sounds good to me.

[Robk0000]

well im sure they will call you if you are aggressive. Bumping like at mik was light hitting and they were on you like a hawk.

[Robk0000]

nobody else?

[wagonmafia]

if im home im up for it.

[Robk0000]

My brother said he can get some people from NeJbody.com its a car club for chevy or something, maybe turn this into a SCS vs. Nejbo this way we can do a nascar day or something. i just want to be definate before telling the dudes up there.

[Robk0000]

im going to see about a nascar event. 100 laps, 16 people max i think.

[f1vlad]

find out asap about it mate, 100 laps could be awesome like a real race I am 100% down

[Robk0000]

alright we need 2 more people to make this work, i got 8 coming from Nejobdy. SO we need 2 more people. I will make the reservations for 16 people and will see what i can get for $35 a person. I think it will be 50 laps 1 shot, with practise session. Someone talk to the other scs members and get them to come!

[f1vlad]

Rob when do you wanna do it?

I think you should always overestimate. Someone will skip usually so we need more than 2.

Can we make something work this Saturday? I know me and hooyesti down for Saturday.

[Jon]

Do you plan on doing this in the afternoon or evening? I can't commit if it's in the afternoon, i might have to work.

[Robk0000]

its over 8 people so i have tomake reservations for the track, we will have 16 people going. Im not sure the date yet, i wanna do the 15th but i just wanted to make sure we can have 16 people. Whch we do if everyone comes.

My plan was to do it at around lunhc time or in the evening. Saturday is usually the best day for everyone its just the time that we are debating. Im going to call Rick, and let him know i have a 16 person group, never raced there, so we will go throguh a cool video. And then, we race.

Talk to rick about:
~16 people
~Prices
~Event Schedule
~Time/Date

anything else?

[f1vlad]

That should be all, I just can't figure out where you came up with 16 people. Can you spell em all out on the first page please?

[Robk0000]

rember this is an SCS vs NeJbody competition. 8 vs 8. My brother is the VP of NeJbody, so he has gather 8 friends that we will be racing against. I personally know 3 of the 8 coming, so i dont know what to expect of the others. But i can garantee you there is 8. If you want a list of names, im sure i can find them for you.

[f1vlad]

Ah ok got it.

[LordBass]

I'm interested but can't do 12/15.. Could probably do one in January.

[Robk0000]

Alright, how about the 22nd of this month?

[f1vlad]

Works for me

[Robk0000]

okay, well ill call on Friday, get prices and we will go from there

[Robk0000]

Nejbo has 10 people coming...so we need 2 more people. I talked with Rick again.

Heres what i got:
100 LAPS
$35 per person assuming we have the 20 people, otherwise it goes up a little like $1
January 19th
Time Unknown yet, i still have to reserve the track. Plan on late afternoon.

[f1vlad]

Works for me. But not everyone flexible, I really don't care when it is, I'll go. I know you're gonna run into issues with the rest if you're not specific enough.

[Jon]

so this is next saturday in the afternoon? i hope i get the day off. I know i can do the evening, but the day time it tough. i won't know till that morning if i'm lobstering or not.

[f1vlad]

Jon, this thread about karting tonight (12082007) in Scarborough. Whatever Rob is talking is confusing I asked him to call me instead or post a dedicated thread. Call me or Chris tonight if you coming.

[f1vlad]

Damn it sorry guys I got confused with all threads. This is thread about new karting place. Sorry...

[Robk0000]

Okay, i made it back from NY. So this is going to be JANUARY 19th, ill get you an exact time tomorrow when i make the appointment. then we can arrange carpooling and what not.

[Robk0000]

RESERVATIONS MADE!
***I HAD TO PREPAY $350 50% deposit, so YOU ****ERS better come***

Anyways heres what you get, because we are not members we cannot do 100 laps straight. So there will be 3 races, 35 laps each and the groups need to be split up into 10 people. We will figure it out when we get there.

$35 per person gets you 3 races of 35 laps which is 105 laps.

[wrxwaggy]

Is there still room for more people to tag along? I just saw this thread....I live about 20 min from Portland and would love to go if my schedule will let me.

[f1vlad]

Not bad man can't wait! Please keep updating original posts with recent developments, thanks.

[Robk0000]

sure wrxwaggy, we actaully need 2 more people to race for scs, Please clear your plans if you want to go, i expect everyone to show up that signed up. Im not getting my deposit back if nobody comes.

OP IS UPDATED.

[Robk0000]

I wanna say that the truckstop exit is 25, can someone confirm this for me? I just went through mapquest looking at the aerial images, lol.

if its the one in WEST kennebunk then from there is a 30 min drive.

[wagonmafia]

what date is it? im keen on some karting.

[Robk0000]

19th on january, 2009. @ 7pm its a Saturday.


CHECK OP for details.

[wagonmafia]

cheers. thats gonna be alot of fun. any practices between then and now? and how do i pay?

[Robk0000]

Pay when you get there, im going to try and get my $350 back when we arrive, then we will individually pay $35 for the races. SO you planning on going, if so im going to add you to the list.


ALSO:
My brother is having the NEjbo dudes meet in manchester then they are carpooling (8 people cramming into 2 cobalts, lol) to the exit 25 on 95. Anyone want to carpool and meet up in the same place?

[wagonmafia]

sign me up dude.. If anybody in the newmarket durham dover area wants to carpool we could take my truck.

[Nate8409]

Sounds pimp. We need chris. hahaha

[f1vlad]

Nate I did beat Chris twice. Don't think he's the ultimate champ, he's fast, but not always.

[hooyeahsti]

umm. you got the date rong... its 2008 not 09, ill come along on that day. its on a sat so. and btw vlad . every one has their off days.... some times i dont feel it. and, my go cart was a little ****y to because of the cold weather.....

[Murphy2012]

Dudes, its go karting...chill

[kgj996]

If there are still openings, I'm in. I can also car pool from Dover.

[Jon]

So what are the details of the track and karts? I can't find much on there website. Is the track an strait up oval or does it have some bends? What kinda of karts and how fast?

[LordBass]

3x35 lap races sounds like a lot for only $35 - that's great. Is the track only 0.1 mile? Have to assemble your own cart? Mix your own two-stroke gas? :)

I'm on the tentative list for 1/19 and could meet from Dover. More to come.

[Robk0000]

All good questions, i have no idea to tell you the truth about the track layout.

kgj996 i added you to the list as well. If lordbass is in you guys can carpool, save one of you the gas. Ill add you to the list with a maybe besides your name.

Anyone interested in carpooling, shout out your ideas. So far we have a dover carpool and a manchester carpool, if your interested in going to either please post so we know who to expect.

[kgj996]

Yeah, I'll be driving from dover and will have room for 3 of 4 more(depending on size of people). Just let me know.

[Robk0000]

[Robk0000]

Bump, i wanna know if anyone wants to stay at the hotel.

I am, im carpooling with some dudes and will stay the night. Beer is going to be brought, they already have a list of what is coming...lol.

[f1vlad]

I'll stay in the hotel if it is inexpensive and people are cool. I have sleeping bag. If not I'll just drive home.

[Robk0000]

$328/night for 6 people per room = $54/per person (doubling up/floor/couch/coffee table/hallway...etc.

the two rooms that are already booked will be full, so we would end up getting a 3rd room. now at $328 a night, im not going unless we have 6 people willing to stay in the room

[Robk0000]

UPDATED OP for Event schedule, with a picture i drew. Let me know if theres anything that doesnt make sense.

[Robk0000]

now that nobody has commented, i need you guys to sign up for what group you want to race in, this will only be only for the first race that you race in these groups. 5 member limit per group btw.


GROUP 1
1. Rob
2.WagonMafia
3.
4.
5.

GROUP 2
1. ProxyWRX
2.
3.
4.
5.

[Robk0000]

otherwise i will assign U!

[wagonmafia]

ill race against who ever. gonna commute there and back. if somebody wanted a ride i could take my truck.

[Jon]

throw me in group 2

[wagonmafia]

group 1

[Robk0000]

So we got the Penthouse sweet at Embassy Suites in Portland. 10 people per room, room one is full of alcholics btw, two is wierd funny people, i added vlad to room 1 :), if he chooses to stay.

[f1vlad]

I don't know if I'll stay in the room Rob, we will see.

[Robk0000]

np, if you do its $50 a night, that gets you a shot at the two 30 packs the drunks are brioning.

[wagonmafia]

when do we go for a practice?

[Robk0000]

whenever. None of the people attending have been there before.

[wagonmafia]

what bout this coming sunday? maybe a lunch race session?

[Robk0000]

Nah, to far for me, ill head up with the rest for a one timer.

[Robk0000]

So is everyone sure they can make it?

[LordBass]

You've got (e)mail

[Robk0000]

We have 20 drivers that are going to make it, unless it snows that day. then 2 people drop out automatically from nejbo. Also, people are bringing friends, atleast thats what i have been told, so yes, you guys can bring friends. The problem with adding to the group is that they will be in their own group now. From what i was told from victory is that 10 people can race on the track at one time. Maybe they will let us in on a little something and have a NASCAR day, that would KICK arse!

Also we will be meeting at exit 19 truckstop in Maine, not in portsouth.

[Robk0000]

Also:

BRING CASH, because if they dont want to refund my credit card, then you will owe me each $35, 9 people only. I already put down $350.

[Robk0000]

well good thing i called Victory lane just now, They did not add my name to the calender and they dont know about my $350 that i prepaid. SO i laid the Smack down!

anyways details about what we are doing, Maximum of 11 people on the course at once, but if they feel our group is of stupid people that act like they are 5 then they will drop it down. SO act grown up.

Also, this is an Oval course, typical race time is around 12-15 minutes a race. ~30 seconds a lap, considering MIk is ~20 this is a big course. I will resolve my prepayment issues and let ya know how its going.

Robk.

[Robk0000]

LOL, i told them the 13th, i meant the 19th, ive been stuck with that damn date from work and yeah, i just ****ed with their heads so badly.

lol, all straightend out and We are Set for the 19th!

[LordBass]

FYI - The proposed meetup point is the rest area/truck stop at Exit/Mile 25 (Kennebunk), not 19 (Wells).

http://www.maineturnpike.com/html/maps/turnpike_map.html

[Robk0000]

Way better pics than Mapquest. Thanks ill change op.


So we meet at exit 25, at 6PM this way we can get food prior to racing or have the drunk people get their beer. whtvr
thanks for fyi.

[Robk0000]

Not This Saturday But Next Saturday, Bump!

[Robk0000]

So this is in TWO weeks, everyone cleared their schedules Right?

[f1vlad]

Am I missing something?

January 19th is not next week. And if it is then I am sorry I am outta the picture. I will be in Cocoa,FL on that day.

[Robk0000]

****, Damn *****, slut...(forum tourettes syndrome, sorry)

Yeah two weeks, sorry. I, doing something else on the 12th and got a little to anxious.

IT IS THE 12th.

[Robk0000]

thanks for catching that vlad.

So now that 20% of our people can go...anyone else.

[f1vlad]

:) that's good because I wanted to go to race at that place! I am definitely down then!

[Robk0000]

So two of us are bringing our 360's, bringing forza, madden, table tennis and halo. 8 controllers for the 10 people staying over at the hotel. This is going to be soo much fun i cant wait!

[Jon]

so this is the 12th or 19th? I'm confused now. The OP says 19 but you just said the 12th. what's the EXACT date?

About the XBox, what TV's are we using? Are the rooms adjoining so we can run a cat5 between them?

[kgj996]

Well I can't make the 12th, I have drill at Pease all weekend and a big exam on Sunday. I made plans for the 19th so let us know What the exact date is.:confused:

[Robk0000]

It is the 19th, im just confusing the dates because of a work schedule, im suppose to be doing something regarding work that was important on the 12th.

As far as tvs, 3 27" tvs, rooms are side by side penthouse sweet, Wifi in the building, but i cant tell you how strong the signal is in the room.

[Jon]

another ?, what's going on with rooms? how many people are staying, where, how much? anything else about it would be helpful too.

[hooyeahsti]

hey rob. can i tag along with the Manchester carpool?

[Robk0000]

There is one room that is empty at the moment, 4 people can stay in that one room, Now two rooms are connected, the third is not. If you want to stay at the hotel let me know, im staying Vlad said maybe, still unsure. $54 to stay over.

Im not sure whats happening with the carpool i know its leaving from manchester, couldnt tell you when right now, and i dont know how many people are leaving from there. If there is room in my car feel free to come along, ill pm you if we can get a few more.

[wagonmafia]

12th or 19th? ill be driving in and out from newmarket if anyone needs a ride. Cant stay over the wife will think im up 2 no good.

[Robk0000]

19th. not sure where newmarket is...Im going to make a map, with different locations where we will meet and where the caravans are. Just to make it easier. plus a schedule event of events.

[wrxwaggy]

hey guys, i live about 20 minutes from this place if any wants a place to leave their cars and take one car....

[LordBass]

ill be driving in and out from newmarket
Any interest in meeting up in Dover on the way through? [Mini-carpool list is in the OP].

and..

I have a friend interested in coming. Is there room for him to race? Would he have to race in other events since our group of 10 is filled? I wonder if it's just better to bring him another time...

[kgj996]

I'll be leaving from Dover for who ever wants to carpool or meet up.

[Robk0000]

additional people can come, im not sure when they will run because we do have 6 runs booked, 3 for the first 10 and 3 for the next 10. The others can race after i guess. I know nejbo is bringing about 5 extra people than planned, they are attending the afterparty...not the race. Kinda wierd.

[Jon]

Does the group coming from dover want to meet me at the traffic circle in po-town and drive up from there? I'll be taking my own car up so if anyone wants to ride up, your more than welcome.

[wagonmafia]

im driving from newmarket so thats on my way, ill meet up and follow you.

[kgj996]

I'll meet you guys there too. What time? If anybody wants a ride from dover let me know, I still have room for 3 or 4 and I'll be coming back that night.~ok~

[RCKSTR]

Good luck with the race next saturday~ok~ take some pics and vids~snappy~

[Robk0000]

ATTN: HOOYEAHSTI!


If you want to caravan up, you need to take your own vehicle. All the people coming with me are staying over.

[LordBass]

KGJ996 - you've got email on carpooling from dirty Dovah.

[hooyeahsti]

hey robk000 i cant go sorry :( money is kinda tight atm. stupid bills .... sorry just telling you ahead of time .

[Robk0000]

NP dude, atleast you told me in advance. I have other people coming that will race most likey

[kgj996]

I still have room for 2 to carpool from dover and I'll be coming back that night.

[f1vlad]

I'll take one stop in your car.

[Robk0000]

It is Exit 25 or right after with no exit # just service station, Kennebunk Maine.

[Jon]

How much is this going to be? I can't find the total.

[Robk0000]

$35 per eperson, then if you want to stay over at the hotel an extra ~$60, but your local, so i cant imagine you will stay, im only staying because my friends are

[wrxwaggy]

Robk0000, unfortunately i dont think i will be able to make it saturday due to a death in the family. I just found out tonight and i am assuming the services will be held friday/ saturday. I may make it up there to watch or something but i dont want to hold a spot in the race with the possibility of me not being able to be there. Sorry guys

[kgj996]

I'll take one stop in your car.
Cool. I have one more seat availible from dover.

[TurboRush]

I am still going.. probably meet up with Dover people but drive myself.

Where in Dover are we meeting?

[Robk0000]

YOu will have to PM the others, i have no idea, Is the dover crew rolling to the Truck stop? im not sure if thats on the way so let me know if we should even bother stopping.

[LordBass]

I'm meeting with Kevin [kgj996] here in Dover. We are planning to catch up with the lot of you at the Kennebunk truck stop by 6pm, it is on the way.

[TrickyDik]

I un-stickied this thread because the date you were racing is over with. The thread is still open to post in.

If there is a similar event going on and the OP edits the details in the first post and wants it stickied again just PM me.

If you are planning a new karting event, un-related to this one, please create a new thread and PM me for it to be stickied.

[kgj996]

Dude #4 took the most abuse, handling over 250lbs for 200 laps.:lol:

[wagonmafia]

Kevin car sounds good on the highway.

[TurboRush]

Kevin car sounds good on the highway.

The Lexus couldn't keep up coming out of the York tolls... :rofl:

[f1vlad]

Hope we do this again some time, I was looking forward to this since Dec, but can't risk being sick next week, have to help teaching class.

[Robk0000]

Thanks for coming out guys, The after party was ****ing soo Fun. My brother was ****ing wasted we came into his room and he was feeding the VCR player with a ticket for a free movie...OMG it was hilarious. Lots of stupid **** happened. As a group seemed like everyone had a great time, im sure ill make another thing like this scs vs nejbo. Seeing how we won this one, im sure we wont have a challenge in the future. I have to say that this place has way better service for the customers. THey want you to have fun, so they do cool stuff. 109 laps straight was Sweet and winnign MM's was even better.

NExt plan is paintballing indoors. ill start a thread for that later during the day, as for now sleep, homework and get pics from my friend and post them up!

Thanks Dudes.
