The San Francisco Indoor Go Karting May Meeting

****EVENT MOVED FROM THURSDAY TO FRIDAY AS GKR WAS FULLY BOOKED****

Show up before 8.30 p.m. to start racing at 9 p.m.
Show up before 8.15 p.m. if it's your first-time as
you need to fill out registration and attend a
mandatory safety briefing (i.e. no briefing no racing).

We run two formats: one for rookies; one for experienced karters.
For rookies, we have three practices on Yokohama with breaks in-between.
For the pros, we have a 45 min enduro Monza.
Do not do the enduro if this is your first time.
You'll have much more fun in the three practice format.

Either format is $60.

And afterwards the usual post-mortem at the pub...

I'll take a head count at noon on the day and notify GKR to set aside
that many spots. Those spots will be reserved up until 8.30 p.m. after
which time unclaimed spots will be released to the general
public or meetup members who didn't originally RSVP Yes.

Some advice for newbies:

If this is your first time, arrive no later than 8.30 p.m. as
you have to fill out your registration and attend a
mandatory driver's meeting.

Remember to wear sensible shoes (no open toes or high heels)
and bring your driver's license.

If you have a helmet, bring it.
If not, no worries - GKR supplies all the equipment you need.

Even if you're super-fit, you'll break a sweat so you might
want to bring a fresh T-shirt to change into.

This is a no-contact sport.
Drivers using excessive contact will be ejected from the event.

Complete newbies are very welcome.

Note that the enduro format is not for beginners.
If you've not done a significant amount of karting before,
do not sign up for the enduro - you will be spend too much
time moving over for faster karts to enjoy it or learn anything.
As a rule of thumb, get your times down to <28s for Yoko
or < 31s for Monza before jumping into an enduro.
Otherwise, you'll spend most of your time moving over for
faster cars, which is never fun and breaks up your rhythm.
Instead, sign up for the three practice format.
