San Diego wildcard event "Racer X" - After party!!

[Turbunio]

ok, so some people are talking about meeting after the event for some drinks, but for those of us who don't drink I was thinking more like going Kart racing.

now in SD there are two hot spots open to the public.
the first is: http://www.k1speed.com/
and the second is : http://www.miramarspeedcircuit.com/index.php


what do you people think?

 

[mcswrks]

Well some of those indoor karting places have bars, so that might hit two birds with one stone. Whichever place is closest/cheapest/fastest karts.

I also have a rental car on reserve which may help for transportation.
Edit: still thinking about ditching rental car....

 

[JerseyDriverSS]

I think k1 looks better.

 

[gatordaryl]

I think k1 looks better.

Unfortunately I just realized that K1 is too far away. Miramar is relatively close and it looks like they have group rates starting at 8 racers.

Oh either way it will still be a good time regardless of the track. There is a similar indoor place in deleware. The karts aren't the fastest but on a tight indoor track it really doesn't matter when you've got a group that knows what there doing. And I'd assume we should all know what we're doing. I have a tag kart myself that I run but that's a story for another time.

yes sir, miramar speed circuit has a restaurant with Beea
and they have gasoline karts, not electric like K1spped.. plus they have nice prices for big groups. so I think is better there

P.S. I will have a rental too, so I can help with transportation.

this guy seems that had a few drinks before racing, but this is the track...

 

[CodeRedR51]

Looks like he got the kart with the supercharger.

 

[Shigegaki]

If you guys decide to go to Miramar, I will be down. I need to use my yearly membership LOL.

 

[Bennen13]

If we've got time, I'd definitely be in. I went to an indoor track in D.C. in December and had a freakin blast.

 

[GTP_SniperWolph]

Lmao I return after a few days of work and now were talking about after parties!?? I have a go pro i'll bring that for Karting. also I have my own car to drive has room for 3 (got me plus co-driver) so that leave's 3 seats.

yeah!

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'll withhold saying what I'll be doing at the moment, just going to do things as they come along. Don't really have a schedule except for getting there and getting home.

I think that's the best thing to do... wait until Thursday to see how things pan out for each and everyone of us.

but the main reason of this thread is to at least have an idea (or head count) of who would be willing to go.

we can all talk about the details on Thursday. And I really think that the best day to go to Miramar would be on Thursday right after Racer X.

I have a GoPro too, I'll bring it ova 💡

 

[GumballCGT]

I'm in if they let us! I'm bringing my GoPro with me to get a cool time lapse flight shot and whatever else is interesting.

 

[EpicGonzago]

Im down! have a little fun before having to get serious on Friday and Saturday.

 

[Wardez]

Just so you guys know, all of us in the Nationals have to be back at the hotel by 8pm on Thursday so I actually think this would be much better suited for Friday night since we're all free after the first round of competition's over in the afternoon or so, then we'd have all night to hang out, plus... it's Friday!

But I would totally love to kart it up with a bunch of you.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'll bring my gloves, etc just in case.

 

[BROHAM]

Now I regret not going

 

[dobemaxx]

I could prob go any night since I live 5 min. away from Miramar Speed Circuit plus I have an unused Ticket. I would really like to race you guys.

Kind of agree because we don't want to risk missing or being late to the reception, but it does say we won't leave the event space until 7:30 pm on Friday. But who knows, let's just plan it when we get there. Hopefully we can, I have a feeling we'll be needing the stress relief.

I'm pretty sure that there will be people that will head back home on Thursday if they don't do good on Racer X, so... we can always make two trips up there, Thursday and Friday

However, I still believe that Thursday will have the largest amount of people available to go (the more the merrier ) and most importantly the biggest gathering of GTPlanet members.
but again, lets plan it when we get there

 

[Shigegaki]

Depending on whether or not I qualify for Racer X will determine if I will be karting with you guys on Friday haha. I don't want to take two days off if it doesn't work out.

 

[Goldengun74]

Id be down to go. But would need a ride. And i have a flight home to catch at 8:30pm so time depending. Of corse im hoping for the best for racer x. But just going to have fun anyway.

 

[Shigegaki]

What is the schedule like for Saturday for most? Perhaps that could be another option to consider. 10 minutes south from Miramar we have a lot of great places to eat for cheap.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Almost everyone is checking out of the hotel and flying out on Saturday night.

 

[KookiBirb]

Sorry to burst the bubble, but do any of you guys know where I can go park at...??

Its whatever for me, I leave sunday.

No idea myself...hoping the hardrock...

Even if there is, I hope it doesn't involve in dealing with a parking fee.

Man the karting sounds so damn fun! But apparently a broke high school graduate is a no go.

Most parking at downtown SD charges $10-15

This would be quite cool, though I think GT Academy finalists should keep travel times in mind. Miramar is a 30 minute drive from the hotel they'll be staying at (and I'm not sure you'll be able to get the shuttle to drop you off at Miramar, you may have trouble getting their unless you take a taxi or rent a car) and as mentioned, the reception begins there at 8pm.
