Those at last months planning meeting may remember a discussion of a club go
karting activity at Miller Motor sports go kart facility. Member Bill Davis
has looked into it and we have a really fun sounding activity, let me or Bill
know if you are interested. See Bill's message below for details but the key
points are;
What is it? - A group drive to the Miller Motor Sports track, a guided tour of
the fabulous Miller Museum, and a bunch of time on the Kart track
When - TBD but probably March or April, the day of week will be a Saturday or
Sunday
Cost - $25 to $50 for a 1 hour group session. $0 is you just want to tour and
watch the racing
What will it take? - 10 or more brave souls.
Will we do it? - You tell me. Email me or Bill if you want to do this. Let
us know how many may come and we will work on it.
