Update for everyone attending.

Lunchtime: Costco is just up the street, so I'll run and grab some of their horrible pizzas :biggrin:

Dinner: Has been decided!
1. Japanese Sushi- Ozeki Sushi in Camarillo. 10 miles and 14 mins away.


All of the restaurants are on the way home towards LA from Jim Hall and right off the 101 Fwy.
Been to them all and they have great food. I should make reservations for this size group, so let me know on the place you decide to go!
See you all soon,
John :biggrin:

Per their website:
Thank you for visiting the internet home of the Jim Hall Karting School, the longest-running kart racing school in America. Experience all the adrenaline of wheel-to-wheel racing condensed into 160-lb. hyper-performing sprint or shifter karts. Learn to race under the sun on the beautiful Southern California coast.

Since 1982, we've been teaching aspiring racers, recreational thrill-seekers and corporate groups the skills and focus that define the world's best racers. In fact, virtually 100% of the world's top Formula One, Champ Car and Sports Car drivers – from Andretti to Schumacher to Unser – began in karts. Karting is simply the ultimate teaching tool, and quite possibly the ultimate thrill. Come in and see why MOTOR TREND Magazine chose JIM HALL KART RACING SCHOOL as one of the "49 COOL CAR THINGS TO DO BEFORE YOU DIE".

We are good to go !!!!. :biggrin:

I was hoping that it'll be in March so that I can spread out my fun time more evenly. If that is the date that has been determined, I'm in. :cool:

For those of you that want to know more and are planning to go to the SCA meet this coming Sat. I'll try to remember to bring the brochure I got from Jim Hall. You can check it out.

Unfortunately, I am going to be out of town that week.

I did that school a few years ago and it is a blast. I will let you know if my schedule changes.

Regards,

Ryan Hatch

I meant to say this coming Thursday. I'll bring the brochure there so you are read through it if you want to.

Performance event? Not familiar with that one. Is that the one that happens in the afternoon? Weekend afternoons are for the family .... except track days. I'm domesticated, but not dead. :rolleyes:

This coming Friday, I'm heading up to Streets of Willow for a semi-private event with only 25 cars. :tongue: 2/16 karting means I'll have to take another day off within 2 weeks. I'm really using up my hall passes.

Can't do it! :(

I am either going to be in NY, or in hell to satisfy a client deadline.

Just found out that 2/12 is a no-go for me. But 2/16 is a definite for me.

Re: Jim Hall Karting School On Feb. 16th - Sick day! Cough, cough, sneeze................

OK, can we kind of start over again? After talking to John (ANYTIME), we don't think that 2/12 Sunday is going to work for us. They are requiring us to pay up front for 15 people. With such short notice, I just don't think we can pull this one off.

Even 2/16 is kind of a short notice for some folks. So we'd like to suggest that we should set a later date. According to the schedule from Jim Hall's site,

Jim Hall

we can do it on 3/23 (Thur) for the Day 1A&B. Reason for picking a Thursday is that there probably won't have anyone attending other than our group. And we can just individually sign up for that same day.

Please let us know whether it works better for you on 3/23. Just in case if the 16th is still a better date, I'm leaving it as an option.

Re: Jim Hall Karting School On Feb. 16th - Sick day! Cough, cough, sneeze................

Looks like potentially, there'll be just the 3 of us on the track. It's fine by me. We'll have tons of one on one instruction. That'd be awesome.

Of course, a bigger group is always more fun. This is what makes this Prime community fun and informative.

$350 is a good deal for a one day class with instructors and karts provided. Normally it costs around $150+ for an open track day without instructors and you bring you own cars.
 
Re: Jim Hall Karting School On Feb. 16th - Sick day! Cough, cough, sneeze................

3/23 will work for me, 2/16 is too soon, my new home will close escrow tomorrow. Therefore, 2/16 I should be busy moving/decorating.
Keep me inform
 
Re: Jim Hall Karting School On Feb. 16th - Sick day! Cough, cough, sneeze................

March 23rd would be better for me, should be great time. Gil

I spoke with Jim Hall and were are good to go for March 23rd!!!
They can hold that date for us if we can get 12 people. If not, then we may have to share the track (Thursday is a slow day for them :biggrin: )

Anytime, before the Karting goes open registration let me know, my Waterproofing contractor lives in Moorpark and wants to attend. Thanks

Will do!

Gil - Can he guarantee that we'll have a dry track? DaveG

If the track is wet, it can be dried out for a safe school/day. Otherwise, they will postpone it for another day of our choice.

Come on John, didn't you see the sarcastic wit in my post? Gil's friend is a "Waterproofing contractor" - get it?

Dave, I don't know if you aware but the track is now in Oxnard so they don't have the fog and beach effect issues they use to I'm told. Look forward to seeing you (into the wall :biggrin: ) Gil
