DECEMBER 6th GRAND PRIX EVENT!
Mark your calendars now for our DECEMBER GRAND PRIX EVENT at RACE PLACE MOTORSPORTS. This event will be held Saturday night, DECEMBER 6th at RPM, the awesome indoor go kart track located on Bradshaw Road right off of Highway 50.
WHEN:...............SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6th
WHAT:...............We will be racing the "Grand Prix" format and we need at least 10 confirmed racers to sign up in order to make it happen. The Grand Prix format entails everyone racing two 25 lap sessions. The top ten fastest racers then participate in a final race which is also 25 laps.
RACE TIME:......... Arrive BY 8:45 pm for check in, trash talk, and pre-race instructions. DON'T BE LATE.
WHERE:.............. RPM 3130 BRADSHAW ROAD
GEAR..................Gear is provided, but I suggest you bring your own helmet (motorcycle helmet is fine) and driving gloves if you have them. You must wear closed toed shoes. ( You are going to sweat like crazy in the jumpsuit they provide so bring a change of clothes if you plan to wear your pants / shirt under the driving suit).
COST:................$42 (WHAT A STEAL!!!) if you have your own helmet or $47 if you need to wear their helmet (the charge is for the headsock they will give to you to wear under the helmet and then it is yours to keep.) This is a special KNEERIDERS.COM rate thanks to Brent, the owner of RPM.
Check in with us in the lobby before you check in at the desk so that you get the KNEERIDERS.COM event discount and so that we don't start without you!
This one will probably be well attended so you will need to reserve your spot early if you plan to attend. Post up here to reserve your spot on the grid or PM me.
A special thanks to Brent Webb, the owner of RPM, for working with us to make this an enjoyable experience for all participants, and for extending a generous discount to KNEERIDERS.COM members.
Special Note - RULE #1
Winning isn't everything, :rolleyes: but it sure is fun to win or place on the podium. I know I would LOVE to do that one of these days! :D But, keep in mind that if you have to win or reach the podium by purposely spinning people out / hard contact to get by them, you WILL be disqualified.
If you are going to pass someone you should have to EARN it. It just isn't fair to those who have run a clean and competitive race. If you accidentally (or intentionally) impact / spin out someone and they lose their place because of it, you must let that racer back in the line up at the spot they were prior to the incident.
ALL KNEERIDERS.com RPM GP's are run with this rule...and it has led to probably the most fair (and fun) GP's we've had (even though the chicks are now dominating the podium :p). Many drivers have remarked on what a change there has been for the better, and we know all the future GP's will be better because of it!
Special Note #2
We have to book extra time if we have more than 10 racers - that is why we need to know ahead of time if you plan to attend. :confused: Last minute entries may not get to participate so plan ahead, POST UP, and we'll all get to race.
Now, come on out and let's have FUN! :D
