I think there will be others there tomorrow as well (Shane Hawthorne is organizing a group). I am going to try and make it too.

Yup. I know..............I'll be in that group. :cool:

Just cam back form GPNY and had a great morning. The facility will be "the monkey's balls" when it's finished. In the meantime I recommend a visit. The most important part of the facility is up and running - the track(s). We ran the Uptown track - I beleive 12 turns and a corkscrew elevation change - Major fun. The concession it not finished yet so bring a cooler.

Shane had a couple of "hot shoes" with him and they seemed to be getting around pretty well - Needless to say they gave me a lesson.

A total blast - If anyone is organizing an outing, please keep me in mind - I not live close to GPNY but I am an easy "back marker."

Shane - thanks forthe invite.

I Just got a call - Shane broke the track record after I left - Way to go Shane.

Nice meeting ya Tim! Yeah, what fun that track is.... Definitely better than On-Track but that is not to say the Wallingford track isn't a blast, and cheaper to boot! If GPNY ever decides to offer discounted race packages that's where my money will go, but right now it's twice as expensive as what I pay at On-Track. But still...I will be back.

Yes, we left there thinking Shane had the track record (just pipping me by .063) but when I got home I was looking over the print outs and actually I have the record from the third race we did. Shane - 28.332 (4th race)
Me - 28.310 (3rd race)

Walking in the record was a 28.591

I'll have to check this with Shane but it's seems a little screwey cuz even the timing board had him as the record holder.

No matter really as the times will surely fall as the track rubbers in some more...

Here's a link to some photo's I took, not the best but you will get an idea. And a link to a video on Youtube...

Also --- races where 9 minutes long but it really felt longer than that. We were getting 17 laps in....

Tim,

Jeff beat me to it!!! You are #1 in my book.

Just remember if you can keep up with them in the corners, you are at a disadvantage on the straights. That is what I tell my self all the time at ON-Track... Them dang hair-pin turns :cool:

My buddy Jeff has run 35.0++ something almost broke 34+ recently, he is 75lbs less than me. Bast**d... Get these 100+ lbs guys to carry some "ballast" LOL... I am waiting for the Kart tracks to equalize the Karts with ballast so it is an even playing field, then we will see...

Are they running the 9hp or 6hp Karts there???

Driver weight 270# - I told Shane, "put Carol in the kart with him and then let's have a go at it" - He laughed and said, "I'll see YOU at NHMS fat man" - No excuses.
Just what I need, another Crazy Joe, with attitude
