Bump!

4r3s 03-24-2013 09:47 AM

I know what the right thing to do is but I guess I need someone else to tell me to do it. My best friend's son's 1st birthday party is on the 27th from 3-6pm. If I went karting I wouldn't make it to the party until probably 5pm. I'm pretty much the only one that goes to their parties that's not married and/or has kids. Maybe I should just be straight up with him and ask if he is going to be offended if I show up late? I could offer to help clean up and we could actually hang out afterwards. What should I do? I wanna go karting!

Personally, I'd just ask him as you mentioned. I'd think he'd understand especially if you were still going to make it to the party later. Thats just my two cents since you asked.

sweet! Thanks Jon, also which of the 3 karts will they be letting us race? I hope its the 250cc!

Khoi, I received a reply that we'll be using the 390cc karts. They are the 13HP karts. It was explained to me that its difficult to qualify to drive the 250CC karts. I guess those are a lot more powerful.

:iagree: Just ask if that would bother him, and express a sincere interest in spending quality time with him and his family. I've got a similar situation with my best friend and her son, and she knows I love them, even if I don't enjoy the kiddie brouhaha of a birthday party.

ZCarMan 03-24-2013 02:32 PM

Henry, I added your Uncle and Nephew. :driving:

We are at 19 which is actually ridiculously good! Six more and we are at $80.00 per person!

:tiphat: thanks Jon, still don't know if my nephew can stay behind the wheel or not because he hasn't once behind the wheel.

As long as they are old enough and meet the minimum requirements to drive they should have fun.

chieuxuan 03-24-2013 04:01 PM

He's bigger, taller and heavier than me!!! Well, everybody is heavier than me :stirthepot:

Unfair weight advantage! :stirthepot: :bowrofl:

chieuxuan 03-24-2013 04:09 PM

Hey I'm trying to get firmer so I may lose more weight by the time this event starts :stirthepot::p

The higher number is not the bigger ("faster") cart? Does not compute... :ugh2:

Will there be a Columbia caravan as well, or only one meet up spot?

Doubt it, I plan to go straight to the FFX location to get some coffee and wait for the caravan group.

Fair enough, guess it will be an extra long cruise down for me...

Probably not me. That'd add 45 min to my drive.

I'm confused on this as well. My best guess here is that the 390cc are 4 stroke and the 250cc are two stroke engines which might make the 390cc slower?

True, if 250cc two stroke, it will be way faster than 390cc 4 stroke because the direct fire of the 2 stroke engine

I'll add you ZStig. We still have room for the two others you're checking with. Just let me know when you know that they will attend.
