Fleksta 12-26-2006, 10:19 PM I'll try to be there, its hard to turn down go-karts :D
Kevin E21 12-26-2006, 10:22 PM I'll try to be there, its hard to turn down go-karts :D
Let me know if you want to meet up again. This time not at that damn Burlington mall though.
JWBrockman 12-26-2006, 11:32 PM Anyone going down from Maine that wants to caravan? It's a bit of a drive, but Karts are tempting :).
Proteus 12-28-2006, 05:26 PM I'll be home on or around the 12th, so time permitting, I should show up.
Kevin E21 12-28-2006, 05:46 PM Anyone going down from Maine that wants to caravan? It's a bit of a drive, but Karts are tempting :).
I'm in Northern MA if you and anyone else is driving down we can meet up along the way. That's what me and Fleksta did last meet. He came from NH.
Fidhle007 12-30-2006, 05:46 AM I'm in NH and would be be willing to caravan. I'll check my calender but I think I can do this...
helrott325is 12-31-2006, 12:01 PM i am from portsmouth nh, i would be down to caravan down there
JWBrockman 01-01-2007, 09:04 PM I'm still down for the caravan. Maybe meet in portsmouth?

porkchopbimmer 01-03-2007, 09:30 PM I am flying out to Groton, CT that day i leave at one pm and should be hopefully back by 330ish maybe i will be down and then drive up there so put me down as a maybe / probably.
Kevin E21 01-04-2007, 04:33 AM yeah, guys from maine and northern n.h. should meet at the traffic circle in portsmouth at the booze store...
Take the iniative and actually give an address and a time otherwise no one will meet up. I'm south of you guys and would like to meet up halfway through for the caravan, but If you guys are meeting up in Portsmouth I'll come up there just so I can go for the cruise, even though it is a bit out of my way.
Let's get the ball rolling, only a few more weeks.
Fleksta 01-04-2007, 11:22 AM I'd be willing to meet up in Portsmouth if someone gets an address and set time.
Kevin E21 01-05-2007, 09:34 AM Bump!
Qfactor 01-10-2007, 02:06 PM I may show up just to meet some of you guys.
I am not allowed in the building.
Q
porkchopbimmer 01-10-2007, 06:18 PM Alright how many karts did you wreck?! lol i almost got kicked out
DirtDog 01-10-2007, 11:36 PM how much is it for the karts
Kevin E21 01-10-2007, 11:59 PM how much is it for the karts
Arrive & Race All drivers racing at F1 Boston take part in both practice and race laps. The number of laps on either track varies.
Track One $25.00
Track Two $25.00------------------
Arrive & Drive, 7 Days a Week!
If your thrill meter is running on empty, our Open Racing sessions are the perfect fuel! Open Racing sessions – known in Europe as Arrive & Drive – are available to the public 7 days per week.
You'll come in and suit up, receive a driver briefing, and pit yourself against other drivers scored by our computerized, split-second timing system – the same system used in professional racing.
Open racing sessions include a practice session and a race. And with our City Course and Country Course tracks, you can choose your challenge – from sharp turns, a corkscrew and tunnel to rolling hills and off-camber corners.
Life doesn't have to be dull.
The 25 bucks includes everything. So you don't have to pay for all the other crap that you would to do an event.
DirtDog 01-11-2007, 02:00 PM 25bucks! count me in
porkchopbimmer 01-14-2007, 01:19 AM No more 20 laps for 20 bucks??
Kevin E21 01-14-2007, 01:40 AM No more 20 laps for 20 bucks??
I'm not sure, I've never been there, but they might still have it. Eitherway it's cheap.
shadyduk1979 01-15-2007, 10:43 PM No more 20 laps for 20 bucks??
I don't think they ever advertised that did they? anyways it looks like it's now 25. I think its still worth it
porkchopbimmer 01-16-2007, 01:43 AM Yeah it used to be 20 laps for 20 bucks
DirtDog 01-16-2007, 03:32 PM hmmmm Kart racing or Patriots game....
porkchopbimmer 01-16-2007, 08:55 PM how about both thats what im doing they got big screens there!
Fleksta 01-17-2007, 08:56 AM As much as I hate to miss out on karts, I might not be able to make it down. Car has been in the garage for a week and a half, parts still haven't shown up. If I can get it by Friday I'll be there, but its not looking good.

That sucks. If you can't make it, I'm sure there will be other times. So don't worry about it.
JWBrockman 01-17-2007, 10:44 PM I think I might be out as well... looks like I might need some rear subframe bushings ASAP. I've got a rapping from the rear over bumps. No chassis tear evident, but there's a finger sized gap between the bushing and lower flange with weight on the subframe :(. I'll probably weld in the reinforcements while I have it out.
Kevin E21 01-17-2007, 11:33 PM Well I'm probably driving my beater.
porkchopbimmer 01-17-2007, 11:46 PM So wait who is actually goiing because i deff. dont want to be the only person there?
Kevin E21 01-18-2007, 12:14 AM So wait who is actually goiing because i deff. dont want to be the only person there?
I am going for sure, and Shadyduk1979 is going for sure. He doesn't always check the site, but he is going.
toplezz328 01-18-2007, 11:38 AM ill be there def
Kevin E21 01-18-2007, 11:20 PM ok, so that's atleast 3 or 4... where is everyone else? Anyone else still coming!?!?!?
VenomRS4 01-19-2007, 10:06 PM ok, im prob going. I know I say im going every time and never show up...but this time, I really am going. Ohh, and Im bringing friends.
toplezz328 01-20-2007, 08:00 PM So whats the final count here 4 or 5 of us..we still meating at 5 or a little earlier while its still light out maybe 4...
shadyduk1979 01-20-2007, 08:07 PM If everone can still meet up then its fine by me
DirtDog 01-20-2007, 09:30 PM im def. gonna be there, ive been wanting to try F1 for a long time.
toplezz328 01-20-2007, 11:01 PM i live 10 minuites away from f1 was wondering if every one new where there going...if not we can all meet up at the mall parking lot 1/2 mile away..would like to meet at 4 while it's still light out to check out the cars.
porkchopbimmer 01-20-2007, 11:56 PM Ill be there at 5 due to my flight cya all there
Kevin E21 01-21-2007, 12:12 AM If the mall is easier to get to then that's fine by me. I have work off tomorrow, so I can meet up anytime. I would actually prefer to meet while it's light out cause I'm cutting through Boston, and I don't want to get lost.
I'm thinkin' I might just drive the e21. I'll just take it easy on the highway.
toplezz328 01-21-2007, 12:19 AM well i just thought it might be easier to meet in the parking lot at mall it's alot bigger than f1 lot...plus you can see mall lot from the highway..take 93 south stay right where it splits to go to the cape(exit 7) then the mall is on the left take the next exit #6..id like to be there for 4 o clock so i can check out rides
VenomRS4 01-21-2007, 01:13 AM I know im going to be there with a few other poeple. Hey, what are the age requirements? To race and to go and watch the game?
Kevin E21 01-21-2007, 02:05 AM I know im going to be there with a few other poeple. Hey, what are the age requirements? To race and to go and watch the game?
18 to race..not sure what the age limit for anything else is. I assume anyone can watch the game, but I have never been there so I don't know if the only TVs are in a bar area or something.
4pm @ the mall sounds good to me. We can all hang out for a while, and then head over F1 around 5 and meet up with porkchopbimmer and anyone else who isn't arriving until 5.
I should be taking the e21 tomorrow, but depending on how windy it is, I may not. Only because it needs bushing very bad, and when it's windy it gets a bit scary on the highway.
DirtDog 01-21-2007, 02:20 AM where in the parking lot. after u take the left at the lights, somewhere in there?
I'll might be driving my e32 but its beat as hell, so i doubt yall gonna wanna check out my car
porkchopbimmer 01-21-2007, 09:51 AM Yep sounds good I will see you all at 5pm @ F1 If i get up there earlier I will look around in the parking lot at SSP for you guys.
toplezz328 01-21-2007, 11:17 AM ok when you get to the mall the food court is right there if we go to the back of the parking lot there should be plenty of room..macy's is right next to the food court.just in case anyone can't find it.ill be there at 4:00 to meet up with anyone then head over to F1 at 5..
shadyduk1979 01-21-2007, 11:35 AM I may swing by the mall as well but i am not sure. The bimmer is staying home for sure however because it needs a alternator and i didn,t send my bad one back to bav soon enough to get the new one for the weekend.
VenomRS4 01-21-2007, 12:51 PM So is everyone heading to F1 at 5?
Kevin E21 01-21-2007, 12:58 PM So is everyone heading to F1 at 5?
Some of us are meeting at the mall at 4 to hang out for a while, and then make our way to F1 for 5. Everyone else I assume is just going to F1 at 5.
Does anyone from up north still want to caravan down?
VenomRS4 01-21-2007, 02:26 PM PROBLEM
Hey guys, I just spoke with the manager and was informed of a few things. The tracks are booked from 4:40 to 7pm for some sort of private event....which means we cant race between those times. The same goes for the bar and billiards room. We can however use the restraunt and watch the game there...as long as we dont go to the bar side. But after that, everything opens back up.
So how is this going to work? I still want to go. But Im not going until like 6 or maybe a little before. (kickoff is at 6:30 right?) I'm gonna watch the game there and then after it ends, im going to race. Or maybe try to get a race in during the beginning of the game. Not sure yet. Either way, I am still going and you all should too :)
Also, if your under 21 and want to stay past 8, you need to let the manager know ahead of time because after 8, the facility is 21 and over.
If anyone needs it, my number is (508) 414-1092

We can however use the restraunt and watch the game there...as long as we dont go to the bar side.
So how is this going to work? I still want to go. But Im either going earlier or not going until like 6.
Shit. Well I'm up for whatever, I was looking forward to racing, but whatever. I assume we should all still meet there wether or not we go in or somewhere else we can decide then. Only because some guys might not check the thread, and might not get the update.
shadyduk1979 01-21-2007, 03:00 PM I'll still head up. I think i will hang out for a bit and then race after 7.
cell 508-922-4184
toplezz328 01-21-2007, 03:03 PM man thats shitty. i'm still up for meeting though nothing else plan today..we still on for for 4 at the mall or just meet at 5 at f1 im down for either we can still watch the races from the balcony overlooking the track 781 983 5730
Kevin E21 01-21-2007, 03:11 PM I am going to try and make it down for 4, maybe a few minutes after. I'm seeing if my friend can go, which might mean I don't get down there closer to 5. Eitherway though, I'm going. I'm definately down for staying till 7 to race as long as someone else is.
EDIT: Okay, I'll most likely be meeting up at 4-4:30 at the mall. 781-424-4645
shadyduk1979 01-21-2007, 04:02 PM I'm definately down for staying till 7 to race as long as someone else is.
+1
I know i will not make it to the mall but i will be at f1 close to 5.
Kevin E21 01-21-2007, 10:00 PM Just got home. It was nice meeting everyone, and seeing some familiar faces aswell.
VenomRS4 01-22-2007, 12:52 AM Man, that was sooooo much fun. Too bad I am a poor college student and caould only really do one race. But, we gotta do that again.
toplezz328 01-22-2007, 12:11 PM nice to meet you guys looking forward to the next meet / outing.
