Kart Racing January 31

Our Annual indoor kart racing event returns in 2010 with a new venue, new racing format, and new prices!!

WRAPUP:  36 people showed up ready to do battle at Melrose Park Indoor Grand Prix.  After an orientation we headed out to the track, and broke into 3 groups doing 4 races each on the large track.  Many people hung out afterwards for pizza, conversation and bench racing. 

Club Fast Guy awards go to Adam for turning in a blistering 32.67 lap, and Matt was a close second at 32.78

Huge thanks to Brett at Melrose Park Indoor Grand Prix for coming out on his day off to get us going, and for making this such a fun event. 

Please send links to photos or video to steve@chicagominiclub.com and I will add them here.
