And then we might have a group going up from the Derby crossing.
So with that said I'm guessing we'll all just meet at the place at 10:30-10:45?
Sound good?

Dude... you've got a HOT girlfriend. Go home and service her.... FOR FREE! I won't have time to hang out afterwards... gotta get back on the road to go back to my shitty apartment and shitty job in shitty Rochester.
Are these carts all tuned the same? Are they race carts? 125cc? Someone give me the low-down please. Do we get to shift em, or are the auto's?

Re: Go Karts in Montreal
We just talked to the place again. They have a max of 18 on the track at once, meaning we will have to have the place for 2 hours and be split into two groups.
So really, if anybody is crazy and wants to spend a lot of money, they can technically go twice (once in the first group and once in the 2nd).
I'd consider it since I probably won't be back any time soon...haha.

Re: Go Karts in Montreal
Not shifter Karts. They have a Centrifugal clutch like a pocket bike or snowmobile. They are fast enough for the track though, and you WILL need to use the brakes.
It's way better than Georgia Farmhouse chit. There's one turn at the end of the front straight where you have to get on the brakes to pitch the cart sideways before you take a left to go up the corkscrew turn.
Watch out for Jay, I think he has his own racing jacket up there.
