NY/CT Region Karting - Sunday, April 27
Grand Prix New York
 333 North Bedford Road Mount Kisco, New York 10549 This is a brand new 120,000 SF indoor facility featuring Sodi 6.5 HP 40 MPH Karts. We will have the track to ourselves. Website: gpny.com Grand Prix New York Racing (GPNY) is set to wave the green flag at the only indoor karting circuit in the New York metropolitan area. New Yorkers finally have a good excuse to postpone the rat race for some real on-track action. However, GPNY is touting itself as much more than the typical bare-bones karting facility, the type that is usually stocked with musty helmets, wheezing karts and a perpetually out-of-order soda machine. GPNY's 120,000-square-foot "racing, entertainment and corporate conferencing" facility is targeting New York-based companies looking for innovative team-building exercises in a business-friendly environment. The circuit itself is comprised of two 24-foot-wide, one quarter-mile-long kart tracks. For special occasions, the tracks can be combined into a single half-mile course. Six feet of elevation changes and a wide variety of fast and slow corners (many of which are named after world famous corners like Spa's Eau Rouge and Monza's Parabolica) should guarantee that a hot lap is much more exciting than your last boardroom meeting. GPNY uses Sodi RX7 gas-powered karts, powered by 6.5-horsepower Honda GX 200 four-stroke motors. Top speed is 40 miles per hour, and each kart boasts a real-time onboard timing system. A wraparound bumper is there for anyone who subscribes to the Days of Thunder ethos that "rubbing is racing." Time: 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM Arrival/Registration: 10:00AM (if you're late you may miss track time) All equipment is available at the facility, but if you've got a helmet, bring it along with long pants and a long sleeve shirt. The price is $75 for VCA members and $95 for friends and family. The is a 30 person limit, so please RSVP early to hold a spot. Hey NJ and NE....COME ON OVER/DOWN! Meeting: LI - TBD NYC - York Avenue & 90th Street (9:00 AM) Westchester - TBD Directions: RTE 684 to exit No. 4 West on Rte 172 - South Bedford Road Right turn at end onto 117 North 3 Miles to GPNY on left.

Re: NY/CT Region Karting - Sunday, April 27
Not a very big turn out so far. I know a couple of non-club guys I could ask if we need bodies to make a good showing for the place.

Re: NY/CT Region Karting - Sunday, April 27
Thanks, really had a great time, but we also REALLY need more members to show up next event. We had at least three guys who were non-Viper Club members. I want to do it again, but don't know if we can afford it with so little turn out. Can we do it Steve ?
