FINALLY... K1 Speed in Torrance is open & it's awesome.
Let's see who is interested in a Sunday afternoon meet... May 17?

Respond here if you can make May 17, 2 p.m. They have a parking lot that can easily accommodate a couple dozen 1s.

I should be able to make it.

1mor · 05-03-2009, 11:49 AM

Nice, I'm down for some kart racing

one-35 · 05-04-2009, 12:56 AM

I will try to get us discounts!!! That should be an extra incentive. Since this location just opened, the karts are new along with new helmets (and cotton head socks).

vasracer · 05-05-2009, 10:07 PM

i am planning on going on may 8 with the lotustalk guys, don't know about 2 weekends in a row, but maybe..

bimmergirl84 · 05-08-2009, 03:02 AM

Costco has K1 tickets for $15.99. Gotta love costco!

I also have $5 off coupons... so $15/race. (I have 5 coupons.)

...or if you go Mon. or Tue. to ANY K1 Speed, you can buy 3 races for $40 (credited to your K1 Speed card).

Hope you make it and show the boys how to drive!

Here's a recent pic of me from Buttonwillow:

one-35 · 05-11-2009, 11:50 AM

We are a GO for this coming Sunday 2 p.m.
First 5 people to show up get $5 off coupons!!! Tons of fun (even just spectating).

vasracer · 05-11-2009, 11:53 AM

just went on saturday, highly recommended

I had a great time, and the wheel-wheel racing is fun...I can't go this weekend because of work, but will likely become addicted to this.

one-35 · 05-12-2009, 07:15 PM

Who's in FOR SURE Sunday. I'll try and get more discounts if we can get 10 or more people. So far... it's:
1. me + 2
2. 1mor
3. ankaerith
4. bimmergirl84 ?
5. papethova (maybe)

What about the folks that came to the K1 Anaheim meet last year?
...Kevin, Cory, Roman, Fred, Stella, Aidan, Satakal, etc.?

xbook · 05-12-2009, 07:59 PM

one-35,

Sorry man, no can do with this meet. We will be in Monterey that weekend cheering on a friend in the KONI challenge up @ Laguna Seca. Darn!!

Next time though for sure...

McReary · 05-13-2009, 12:20 PM

I might wanna. But I've never been..

KEYON · 05-13-2009, 11:55 PM

i might be able too

one-35 · 05-14-2009, 12:51 AM

For those who've never go-karted before, we can do an intro session for them, showing the proper lines and braking points. My friend and I have enough kart experience at the Torrance K1 track to be very helpful!

Come and have a great time!

Papethova · 05-15-2009, 12:31 PM

I'm out, sorry guys... Lakers are playing Game 7

BerkTechnology · 05-15-2009, 02:56 PM

Hopefully we can try to make it to this event with the time attack car

They have SEVERAL big screen LCD TVs there and will show the LAKERS game. If HOUSTON wins, you'll be glad you were spending your time go-karting!

BTW, let's still meet at 2 p.m. I'll be there 10 minutes early. There will be another party racing (which we can watch), so our group can register and begin driving at 3 p.m.

- Tony

That would be VERY

Hopefully, McReary and Bimmergirl84 show up, so there'll be an IRVINE contingent.

ankaerith · 05-17-2009, 03:33 AM

I forgot I have a hockey game at 2:45. I'll try to swing by and say hi since my game is at the Artesia rink, but I won't be able to race.

ankaerith · 05-17-2009, 01:58 PM

Actually, looks like I don't have a game until 6:45. I'll be there.

BerkTechnology · 05-19-2009, 02:47 PM

Sorry guys we got backed up at the shop on a few projects but does anyone have pics from the meet?

one-35 · 05-21-2009, 12:58 AM

Sorry... no pics. Only 2 cars showed. Go karting was fun though! Where was everyone???
