Re: Dallas Karting Complex Race Day - Sat, June 25th

UPDATE JUNE 21 – THIS EVENT WILL BE CAPPED AT 42 ENTRIES. That’s the limit DKC feels they can accommodate (14 per run group, three run groups) and still provide the level of service we want. If you show up and you’re not on the above list, you’ll be put on a “waiting list” and only get a spot if someone doesn’t show (unless we have less than 42 on the list).

PRIZES UPDATE: Big thanks to Terry and crew at Vorshlag for chipping in some Vorshlag hats & shirts to the winners of the three main races! Be sure to visit Vorshlag’s website for all your automotive upgrades!

DKC will also be providing trophies to all three main race winners. I’m working on more, so stay tuned!

START TIME UPDATE: Please be there by 9:30 am for registration. I hope to have a quick driver’s meeting and get the first practice group out by 10, so your prompt arrival is appreciated! If you aren’t there by 10, you forfeit your spot on the list!

PRICE: I realize not everyone saw the price in the initial link, so here it is. The price is $60/person for this event. That price includes 3 sessions, helmet rental, and neck brace rental. You may use your own helmet, as long as it is rated M/SA2000 or newer, and full face with an installed face shield. No open face helmets, no full face helmets without face shields. There is no discount if you bring your own helmet.

If you do use one of the rental helmets, you will need to either bring or purchase a head sock.

EVENT FORMAT: Each participant will get three sessions:

• One practice session
• One qualifying session
• One ten lap, rolling start race

Your grid position in the final race will be determined by your fastest lap in qualifying. The top 1/3rd will be in the Championship Race, the middle 1/3rd will be in the Not-So-Championship Race, and the bottom 1/3rd will be in the Driving Miss Daisy Race. Each race winner will receive some prizes and a trophy!

FACILITIES: DKC has a large, air-conditioned club house, complete with large lap time displays. Food and drink are available for sale at the facility, and you can bring your own in. We should have a large private conference room available to leave our gear in.

PRIZES UPDATE: Big thanks to Terry and crew at Vorshlag for chipping in some Vorshlag hats & shirts to the winners of the three main races! Be sure to visit Vorshlag’s website for all your automotive upgrades!

See you on Saturday!

Big shout out to Iain for setting up this event. What a blast!

VIDEOS



I'm still working on editing and uploading the massive video file McCall shot of Race Group 1 (the championship race) + the re-running of Race Group 3 that I shot.

PICTURES

We only got pictures from one practice session and two race groups (group 2 & 3), so if we didn't get you - sorry. Next time we'll try to bring someone just to shoot video and pictures. Trying to do that + drive the karts was hectic.









I was glad Amy and I could qualify for the main "Group 1 race", having never been to DKC before and not having done karts in years. I qualified 5th with a 74.063 and Amy qualified 8th with a 74.248. In the actual race I got a "less than stellar" kart (#13) and finished mid-pack, with Amy right behind me. A little sore the next day, and she had some impressive bruises on her rib cage, but that was too much fun - can't wait to do it again!





Congratulations to the three race group winners! Each one got a DKC trophy, Vorshlag hat and Vorshlag/AST polo FTW.

It was good seeing so many DFW racers show up to this event. We've got to do this again!

Until next time,
