Mike,
CIR is a good idea. The only problem is that it can get expensive.
What does everyone think?

So lets firm up the date now, I will call and see if we get any group discounts once we have a date/time and see what needs to be done.

So whos on board
I hope you guys have fun if you guys wind up going to CIR.

^I am open to suggestions. Do we want to just eat get a beer and chill?? or do we want to do something like CIR another option would be Dave & Busters in Addison for games if anyone gets into that.

Food and Drinks is fine with me. Just shooting some ideas so everyone has a good time.

So how about we finally do the Chicago Indoor Racing. This is winter and a perfect time to do this. Get a nice larger group going too. Meets at restaurant are okay but this would be real fun.

Just my opinion: Dave and Busters cannot compete with the amount of fun you can have at CIR.

Every time I go to CIR I come out like this >

I am more interested in just getting some food/drink and just hanging out for a while. Never been to CIR but in sounds like an all day event but maybe that's incorrect?

yeah, i figured thats what you guys are interested in, hanging out for a while.

Its all up to you how many races you want to do at CIR and that will dictate how long you'll be there.

If you've never been there I will say to you that you'll be in for a workout, it is not the 'go -carts' of Wisconsin as you may remember. These are referred to as 'karts' meaning they are more geared for adults and therefore, you'll have some good road-racing/wheel to wheel experience. A lot of the regulars there at CIR have real race cars or outdoor karts and use CIR to keep their skills sharp during the off season.

There is a restaurant and arcade there with a view of the racetracks. You don't have to race if you don't want to. Others can have beer in hand and watch the races happening in front of them. Relatively speaking, karting is the cheapest form of motorsport there is. Especially with indoor karting, all you do is show up and drive for as cheap as $10 a race. Thats a good deal.

Have a good time guys in whatever u decide.

I have been before to the one up north and it was a blast. I think we where there for ~ 2 hours? McGrath did a event where they paid for it and I almost didnt go due to the drive I had from where I was living at the time. Man it was a blast and we have talked about this forever and something always comes up! We expect you to come goelise, especially if its at CIR, since you can lead the way I think I recall some wagers that where left open from the other thread too

Either way I am down to meet up I can call them if we know how many are going to see if there is a group discount or not if we have enough interest.
