K1 hasn't gotten back to me of times available, but unless a lot of people can't make it. I'll try and schedule it for after 2, so Phil can come.

Frips_Girl · 04-28-2009, 11:24 AM

Man I miss SoCal... plan this in November/December and I am in for sure!

Have fun and take lots of pics!

mikehall · 04-28-2009, 01:12 PM

Count me in if I can get out of a prior engagement - this sounds like much more fun.

agirls · 04-28-2009, 01:48 PM

How many people can go at once? If everyone shows, it looks like you might have to break it into 2 races. I'm a maybe for 2 people if I feel like making the drive.

I'll let you know that week.

knucklehead · 04-28-2009, 01:57 PM

Two groups isn't so bad. It'll mean the faster qualifiers will drive in the 1st group finals together. They should even give us trophies for the second group too. No promises on that though.

knucklehead · 04-28-2009, 03:56 PM

OK boys and girls. We have the 1:30 slot. Phil if you can get there at 2 we can put you in the later group.
