G-Force Karting - Sunday, April 19th 12pm-1pm Richmond, VA - Goodspeed - 03-10-2009
You remember that scene from Rocky IV, when Rocky the "Italian Stallion" Balboa is training to fight Ivan Drago? He's running through the snow of the Russian countryside, lifting farm equipment over his head and vying for glory. That is about 1/10th of the effort required to win at karting. You need to be intense...trained, (karting) licensed to kill. Those new to the MM karting trip have to deal with those who are experts in karting warfare, people who are the best with karts and their bare hands. They've been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the race track, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In Richmond their job is to dispose of enemy drivers. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. To whoever asks what possessed God in heaven to make people like them...God didn't make our drivers...MM did.

We will be going karting on Sunday, April 19th from 11am to 1pm
We have 20 spots available, 10 for students and 10 for alumni
COST:
Students: 30 dollars
Alumni: 40 dollars
You can pay online at <!-- e --><a href="mailto:mmsports@hotmail.com">mmsports@hotmail.com</a><!-- e -->, please include paypal fees!
PM me if you'd like to pay by check through the mail.
We'll again be doing a 2 hour session, with 4 person teams, 15 minutes on/45 minutes off so every person will get one-half hour of seat time. Teams will be randomized.
You'll want to bring gloves and possibly a towel to throw in the seat and grip you better, and long pants are required. Come out, have fun, get rolled and roll others. This is always one of the most fun events of the semester!
Afterwards, we'll be grabbing food somewhere in town and we'll see what else we can get in to!
*NOTE: Please make a firm commitment/have payment ready before signing up. Our last trip of 40 spots resulted in a few no-shows that affected team layouts and track times. We've been asked to do 40 spots; everyone agrees its more fun, so come out and BE THERE!

Its break, people are out of town, at least wait til the beginning of next week before you panic goodspeed.
On another note, most of you probably have noticed the guy whos always cutting the second 15 minutes short because they get sick....well i'm "that guy." Obviously I don't particularly enjoy at least the second half of my second 15 minutes so I was wondering if there was anyone else who wanted to split 30 minutes with me (or i guess if someone wants 45 but i'm not sure how Goodspeed would decide who). So basically if someone wants to split cost and seat time with me?
