Indoor Go kart racing February 6th Brandon, Florida

[ViperRT98]

The new year is just around the corner and there's nothing better than having a group of vipers owners tearing up an indoor track.... let's make it a day of racing... no matter if you're in Sarasota or Gainesville this is the perfect location for the central Viper owners to get together and enjoy a fun filled 2016...

First we meet at the Ford restaurant, nothing better than a bunch of vipers, showing some of our honors to Fords vehicles but also showing them the real king of the road is... This restaurant is a Bar and Grill that serves American style food...

After lunch we head down to Tampa Bay Grand Prix... this indoor go kart racing at its best... Electric go karts that will hit speeds of nearly 60 miles an hour.... Each lap you will be tested by other drivers and only the best will win.. or you can go on a slower tracks enjoy the scenic view... honestly it's just a really fun thing to do... I found a video on youtube to give you an idea of what it's like... let's see how many people we can get confirmed so we can work on a group discount..

what are the costs for the go-karting?

[ViperRT98]

Hey Alex

It is $39 per person.. You get 3 races which is 14 laps each... This of course will last for a few hours unless you want to go back to back but the go karts are really quick... 60 mph for an indoor course is pretty good.. However that is a speed they advertise. I can take my radar gun and tell you if that is accurate or not. But the last time I went they moved around the track very quickly... The bigger the group the better chance we will have with at getting a group discount.

I'm in!

[XSnake]

I'll be at Rd. Atlanta. :(

[cpinfdp]

I'm off that weekend but I may be on my way down to South FL. When do you need to know by?

[ViperPete]

[ViperRT98]

Awesome Bro... Looking forward to seeing you both their...

[98intrigue]

[ViperRT98]

Sorry to hear that Ryan... Looks like it will be a small gathering anyways... So far not a lot of interest..

[LATAMUD]

I invited my buddy Pete from Riverview.

Sorry to hear that Ryan... Looks like it will be a small gathering anyways... So far not a lot of interest..

Sometimes those small gatherings are the best ones. Jodie and I will be there and looking forward to it.

[ViperRT98]

Yeah your right.... We will have fun with the few people we do have like always.... I can see how competitive it will be racing... Maybe a few others will decide to come last minute...

Do you guys prefer to have Lunch early around 12 and then head to the go kart racing??? you can just get very sweaty by racing before we go out to eat, even though it's indoors it can get very humid...

[XSnake]

Just any FYI, there's 2 locations for Tampa Bay Grand Prix. Guessing you guys are planning on heading to this one:

3404 Cragmont Dr
Tampa, Florida

Created a FB event to hopefully attract some more owners/members

Myself -Gen 2

Big or small we will have fun....

[LATAMUD]

I invited Riverview Gen4 Pete but he might be working that weekend.

[ViperRT98]

A few people cancelled.... It looks like it will be just our normal dinner crew.... Let me know if you guys still want to do this??? I know Pete will be driving from Ocala and David from Orlando... If this date does not work out and it would be better to reschedule let me know...

[MoparBoyy]

Sorrry I can't get over there right now guys. in the middle of a home purchase.

[ViperRT98]

It is okay you can not make it.... I talked to the guys last night and they still want to race on the the 6th so we are still on.... Anyone can join us last minute....

[MoparBoyy]

i wish i could.. i'd show everyone how to drive a kart ;)

[ViperRT98]

I'm sorry you must be racing guys who owns Porsches or Corvettes at The go karts facilities near you.... Lmao..... I saw the videos on youtube.... I think most of them were Corvette owners.... So of course you have the advantage.... But go ahead and look at buying a new house instead of spending a few hours teaching us how to drive.... It Well be fun....

[DEMO MAN]

i wish i could.. i'd show everyone how to drive a kart ;)
