Melb 21st July: FINAL DETAILS

[GoLfMan]

here it is the final details.

because Go-Karting is at 830pm we need to meet at Auscarts at 8pm instead of the Pub.

the address of Auscarts is 50 Salmon street Port Melbourne, the opposite end from Holden.

cya then!

[velly_16v_cab]

got a google map for a spastic pommie?
best i dont turn up late...but then again you will all need a headstart :driver:

[ausgolfer]

How many laps will we be getting? And whats the cost?

[GoLfMan]

30 laps and its $17.50 :)
i owe everyone $2.50 which i can pay at a later date, broke at the moment j:

are u sure it's 17.50??

don't they have to pay the other half as as well? or was the deposit the whole price??

[GoLfMan]

are u sure it's 17.50??

don't they have to pay the other half as as well? or was the deposit the whole price??

what do you mean? its a 50% deposit i believe and the other 50% on the day and i worked it out to be 17.50 each or close too

[ausgolfer]

well I gave you $20 so you don't owe me anything...... if thats 50%??

[Jarred]

i thought they'd only payed 50% ($17.50) and still have to pay another $17.50 on the day.

*actually if you all payed Josh, another $15 I think it's all square..?

[GoLfMan]

what happens is we'll just fix up the bill on the day, thats the easiest :)

[ausgolfer]

so what will the format be? warm up and race? or just laps?:driver:

[GoLfMan]

so what will the format be? warm up and race? or just laps?:driver:

just laps but im sure if we ask them nicely they could grid us and let us have a start :)

[velly_16v_cab]

cant wait...should be fun :)

[Jarred]

This is tonight everyone!


BE THERE!!


"be there" does sound a bit gay, but never the less, don't forget!

[ausgolfer]

Any prediction of performances?

I have a feeling velly may kick butt.

But i'm sure Jarred will be SLOW :biggrin:

[Jarred]

I've been pretty damn quick on that track before, thats a fact.

besides, if all else fails, I can just moon you'll, and you will crash.

simple.:D

Yeah we'll just think "hey look it's cousin IT":mowlawn:

[99gti]

Wish I was still in Melbourne right now, sounds like it's going to be a barrel of fun!!!

I have heard before on the grape vine that Carl's pretty quick and will probably be the man to catch...

We wish you were here too. Another person to lap.....

It's all lies I am very very slow.....AIM FOR JOSH!!! he has home track knowledge, he worked at this place!

[Jarred]

There's still time Neil.
Jump on a flight, and you'll be here well before 8pm.

I'll even pick you up from the airport! (it's the least it could do :bigggrin:)

it's been alot of dim sims since he's worked there tho!

He might struggle getting up the incline...:rolleyes:

[velly_16v_cab]

i feel i may have a weight problem...about 95 kgs lol

[Jarred]

i feel i may have a weight problem...about 95 kgs lol

comon, think positive. You'll have lots of momentum. eventually.

So when you do crash, you'll get really wedged into the trye wall...j:

[ausgolfer]

I've been told that at this track with lots of cambered corners heavier people don't have a dissadvantage and often have an advantage in helping the karts grip. Also have been told the carts have a fairly low ratio to help with acceleration meaning less of an issue on take off for you big boys ;)

[Mischa]

damnit cheapest flight this arvo was 300$ :(

[ausgolfer]

:biggrin: ha ha don't worry we might have to organise something for DOVW or Nats next year? you'll get ur chance he he.

[velly_16v_cab]

[WABIT]

can i bring my numberplate to mount on the rear of it? hehe

also i was thinking this today, if we do get a grid start
we could write how many people are there, put it in a hat and everyone picks a number, then that number is your grid position!

dom

[Jarred]

Now we have a target to aim for - WABIT! hahahaha

Ohhh Yehhh #1!!!!

sure blame it on track knowledge j:

[gtigrl]

As the independant observer for the evening I definitely saw some nudging and bumping (Joshhhhh) which I thought under the rules was not allowed tsk tsk. However I did obtain some crappy phone video footage which I shall endevour to post, if I can get the pregnancy swiss cheese brain to co-ordinate with my hands to remember how to do!

you didn't win no races:nana: lol hey it's one of my many excuses and I'm sticking with them :biggrin:

[Oneofthegreats]

Sound's like everyone had a good night.

Good to see you turned up Lainy. Pissed I didn't. Would have been good to catch up.

Unfortunately none of you's will ever be able to feel wraith of my cart driving.

Ever!!!!

Ha Ha ha haaaaaaa.

(I suck. He Heeeee)

[gtigrl]

I'm omnipresent....mwha ha ha
Yeah slacker where were you.. what indecent excuse do you have for your no show??

[GoLfMan]

he's preganant j: ohhh wait a tic thats your excuse :D

[Oneofthegreats]

I worked in Melb. till 4 then drove home. I wasn't about to come racing back to Melb. just to watch people drive go cart's sorry.

Would've just gotten aggravated not being able to join in. F@%#@ back & the f#%ks that caused it.:brutal:

6 hour's in a car for one day is waaaay too much for me. 3 hour's is even too much. Both the back & I just can't take it.

Also would have to refuel & the fuel bill for the week would increase to $150. Can't justify it.

Maybe next month. We'll see.

[Preen59]

Sounds like everyone had fun?

Ugh, hire karts.. And having to use some one else's helmet.. :frown:

[Jarred]

.. And having to use some one else's helmet.. :frown:

[MK2 GTI]

Thanks to everyone involved in making an awsome night. Wasn't too good of a night for me tho!, i lent the golf to a freind and found out half an hour before i turned up that it got rear ended, then i was driving the audi home and the police were kind enough to let me know i have no rego! $565 fine.

[WABIT]
