Well, it's that time of the month again guys.
Last month brought us our best event yet (take a look at the arial photos). By around 10:30, we had the Motorplex property jamed packed with over 450 cars.
The weather was perfect and we go some great shots from the helicopter.
Keeping with tradition, this month we have a very special event planned after the C&C.
The folks at Stockholm Motorsports Park in Cokato MN (Thanks Craig) www.stockholmkartingcenter.com , along with our Host the Minneapolis AutoMortorplex (Thanks Bruno) and Tyler and I have put together a great package ($120+ Value) for the first 36 people who sign up. (This event will be limited to 36 people so that we can all get enough track time).
We will be leaving the Motorplex property at 11am sharp and caravaning out to Stockholm.

Here are the details:



Please join us at the First Annual Cars and Cafe Grand Prix, held on Saturday, September 5th from 1pm-4pm, at Stockholm Motorsports Park, in Cokato, MN. The 14 turn road course (see attached map) is 0.7 miles long and has some nice elevation changes as well.

Let's finish off the summer with some driving on a nice track.

Details:
The cost will be $55/driver.
Up to 36 participants. (As of 8/19/09 we have 10 spots already taken, 26 to go)
Drivers will be weighed and their karts will be weighted down so there is no weight advantage/disadvantage.
Drivers will initially be randomly divided into 3 groups of 12. After qualifying, the fastest third will be in group 1, next third in group 2, and bottom third will be in group 3 so everyone can race against drivers of similar ability.
Helmets and driving suits will be provided.
Will be run rain or shine.

10 minute practice session
10 minute qualifying session
10 minute race 1
10 minute race 2

4 karting spots left.

 

Wow, that filled up surprisingly fast.

 

word. can't wait

 

Whats the exact adress? I cannot seem to find directions to get here. Im coming from North Minneapolis.

 

8200 Audubon Rd Chanhassen MN

 

Saturday cannot come fast enough!

 

Beautiful weather this weekend! If you're in town, please stop by. The season is almost over :-(

 

What a great day. The karting was a blast.

 

Seems like it just gets bigger with each one! Phenomenal event and the weather could not have been better. Regrets on missing out on the karting.

 

Great turnout and great event as usual. Highlights for me include hearing David rev up his Carrera GT for everyone and hearing the sound echo off the surrounding garages and the hours we spent karting this afternoon.

I didn't take as many pics as I usually do but I had fun walking around and actually getting to talk to a lot of people.

 

UGH! I missed the Carrera GT again!

One more I guess to go for the 2009 season. I'll have to stick around 'til the end for that one.

 

You didn't miss it "again". This was the first time I've ever seen it at C&C. Hopefully the owner will bring it out again in Oct.

 

I've also missed it at the Nordstern show and the German Car Fest. I'm going to make it a point of just sticking around 'til late. LOL

 

Thanks for coming out guys! Carting was a great time. Sounds like we may head out there again next month. And in October, we'll have a mini-donut vendor!! Hopefully the Carrera GT will show up again to make my day.

Thanks!
Tyler
