Your always working dude! which isn't entirely a bad thing but work work work work and no play.............. makes silver arrows a dull boy??

Well, have to work to get $$$ so I can play hard!!!!

I work in computer operations and it's roational shift work. Sometimes I have to work weekends which sucks ass! But I get the weekdays off and get heaps of things done then. Just right now I'm working weekends, but it'll change in two weeks.

Parents also own a bakery. It's next to minto go-karts. Can't say no working there.

Catch yas soon!

Ando

gday, thanks for the help in organising this...

id pay up to and around low 100's.

[XrSiSt]

I'd guess it depends on how long we will be driving for and if

we're going to have the whole track.. I'm willing to budget

about $150.. but ofcourse prefer to get my *Bang for your Buck!*

I know I'm not helping much by saying this, but:

LET'S GET SOME DATES ORGANISED

[S13Deviat]

Okay guys, so far what i can establish is that we are going to have to look at doing it early Jan...........!!!!????? This is the soonest i can really get it organised for! Now what it is up to is everyone to state a date/day that is best for them, then we can see what dates are most popular and go from there!!!

So Andrew stop your biatching:uh-huh: it will get done!!! Just need a general consenses from everyone!!! I could be selfish and go ahead and just organise it on a date that suits me, but im sure it wont be convienient for heaps of others!! So pplz put it ur vote for a date and we will see what comes in as the best option!!

Also we can't book it until basically we have a decent deposit together.......they said that they need it to make sure they dont close the track to the public and we dont turn up!! My theory is that i will give out my bank account details and get pplz to deposit the established amount into it, then i will just pay the deposit on the credit card!? Seems the only easy way......... although for the pplz that i see regularly i can get the cash!!!

Alright so if you guys have any ideas or queries let us know.

Cheers Ando

available any weekend.

[U WERE MINE]

ian, just choose a date in early january.. if heaps of ppl cant make it then they will say.. u cant please everyone ... nearly a months notice will give ppl time to plan it..

[red900ss]

How does Sunday the 05/01/03 sound?

Can we do weekends Ando or is it a weekday deal?

If it's OK with you Joe, we may make this a Club event and (so you'll ALL have to join mwuah-hah-hahh) then we can use the Club Bank account. See if we can do trophies etc. as well.

[BU5TER]

Sounds great I'm in for sure maybe a week later might be better its not quiet as close to New Year:uh-huh:

[kabab]

Just set a date and see the respons the hardest part will be getting the deposits thats where these things usally fall over

[Merli]

I leave for Japan on the 9th, and I'm busy all day on the 5th

[Silver-Arrowz]

5th sounds good! I'm there.

[Guest Da_Man]

Can't make the 5th will be at the nats!

How about the 11th or 12th /01/03

I went up to butterfly farm a few months back on a week night, he opened it for us because we had 12 people.

Its a good little track, the cars could be better but for a hour of racing at 100 bucks its well worth it.

Just a thought..

I should be in as long as its not the first weekend of jan.

[benm]

that place is pretty cool but u really gotta choose ur kart wisely otherwise u'll be getting lapped on lap3.

After having a corporate day there i nearly bought a Kart myself - 1 month later i had a Skyline sitting in my driveway

[S13Deviat]

BTW i am getting the "Corporate Pack" details sent to me in the next couple of days!!!!! So i will be able to inform you guys of the prices, and what u get for your money!!! I know 1 thing though i doubt we will be doing the all-day thing as thaht costs around $300 :eek:

I will basically be trying to get the best deal possible for around the $120-$140 mark??!!!!!:uh-huh: This okay!!!!

Then once the "pack" is determined i will have to get a date for this! I will find out if they are shut at any point!

Neways CATCH YAS

[red900ss]

Sounds good to me Ando. Check your PMs.

[S13Deviat]

Alright guys i have all the package details infront of me now and basically after looking through it i think i have come up with the best deal! This is a rough start as i need to "haggle" a little with it to try and get it a little cheaper and get a lunch thrown in!

Okay firstly i am looking at doing the Mini Grand Prix which accomodates a max of 20 pplz (20 is the most you can have in 1 outing). The Itinerary is as follows :

- Official welcome & registration

- Driver Training & Safety Breifing

- Warm Up

- Heat One & Heat Two

- Heat Three & Heat Four

- Grand Final

- Runs for Approximatly 3 hours

Now costing is the issue here, as most ppl have put forward a large interest in doing this on a w/end, it will cost more than a week day!!!!!!!

Costing:

$175 per person : Monday - Friday up to 4pm

$195 per person : Friday from 4pm - Sunday

What i am trying to organise, is for them to throw in a sausage sizzle which is $14 extra per person.....and maybe knock a bit off the price ( but no promises what i can do )!!!!!!

Now what it comes down to is whether we HAVE to organise this for a weekend OR are you guys able to get a weekday off and save a bit of money!

Also as i mentioned above, it is a MAX OF 20 PPLZ, so you need to get in quick and say that you are in FOR SURE!!!!!!

So make it known now, that u are in 100% and we will see whether we can organise for a weekday or stick with w/end!!!

Over to you guys start posting and i'll start making a list of ppl that ARE COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers

Ando

B.T.W As for dates the 18th of Jan looks like the most popular so far......but as i said its cheaper for weekdays, but if pplz are happy to paythe little extra thats kewl!!! SO 18TH GOOD?????

18/1/03 YEY OR NEY
