Mesdames et Messieurs,

Au nom du Club BMW du Québec, j'aimerais vous souhaiter la bienvenue à
la nouvelle saison de karting 2005-2006. Dans la mesure du possible,
les événements mensuels se tiendront le deuxième dimanche de chaque mois.

Date: Dimanche le 11 Decembre 2005
Heure: 10:30
Piste: Grandprix Karting

7205 Taschereau, Brossard
www.grandprixkarting.com

$44.00 for Club Members
$48.00 for Non-Members

Tous sont les bienvenus (les non-membres du club, les débutants et tout
spécialement les dames). J'aimerais souligner qu'il s'agit d'une
activité divertissante que tous peuvent (et vont) grandement apprécier,
sans se soucier de leur expérience (ou inexpérience). Les débutants
auront le droit à une session d'orientation.

Il faut absolument s'enregistrer d'avance car nous ne pouvons accepter
les participants de dernière minute. Enregistrez-vous au
karting@bmwquebec.ca

Ou appellez-moi 514-712-7575

Les prix vont varier de circuit en circuit. La compétition est moins
féroce depuis la fermeture de deux pistes l'année dernière et les
endroits qui restent n'ont pas tardé à hausser leurs tarifs. Les prix
devraient varier entre $40 et $45 pour les membres et entre $45 et $50
pour les non-membres.

N'hésitez pas à m'envoyer vos questions et/ou commentaires au sujet de
ces activités.

On vous y attend tous!

John Lespoir

I would like to emphasize that this is a fun activity that everyone can
(and will) enjoy, regardless of experience. All beginners will be
offered track-side orientation.

Pre-registration is mandatory before each event. Walk-ins will not be
accepted.
Registration will be accepted by email to: karting@bmwquebec.ca

Just because I am on vacation doesn't mean I can't use the Internet. I will send the notice soon.

They have helmets there. As for your XXL size, it would be best to call and ask (450) 462-8807

Is it true that they are closing down soon?

To get in a good lap, (all everything else being equal), the single most important factor is you need to luck out with the right kart. On most tracks, the performance variance between the slowest and fastest kart on pitlane can be as much as 2 seconds per lap.

[nscirocco]

Is it true that they are closing down soon?
ya, the building they're in was sold and they haven't found a new place.

you're right about the karts, but as far as indoor karting places go, grandprix's karts are the most consistent and well matched i've seen.

I did a 41.8 there about 2 years ago. I remember the kart I used (it was #22) was noticeably quicker (better power and balanced handling) than the one that I used the previous session. It was like night and day.

I also remember doing a race there (at around the same period) where I got stuck with a dog and I lapped in the high 44s.
