Feb 2012 meet - Sun 2/19, V17 in Maywood
 
February = north meet. The weather will likely be less conducive to bringing cars out. So Brian (Blackbirdws6) had a good idea. Let’s go go-karting at V-17 in Maywood.

Where: http://v-17.com/
87 Route 17 North, Maywood, NJ 07607
Map: http://v-17.com/img/map-th.png

When: Sunday 2/19. Be there at 12:30 and go in as soon as they open the track at 1 pm

Cost
STANDARD GO KARTING - $14.99 per race
** for all ages -57" minimum height
** save time, no registration on arrival, no paperwork, race tickets are usable by everyone in your party.
** price buster-buy 10 races get 11
HIGH PERFORMANCE KARTING -$25.00 per race
**2 races for $45.00
**3 races for $60.00
** DRIVERS LICENSE REQUIRED
Races are roughly 7 min long. The time is pretty good as most people’s arms are exhausted by the end if they are really manhandling the cars. They have food on the premises and the pricing was reasonable (read: not $20 for a burger, $10 for a hot dog etc).

This unique design gives the Bowman Storm great handling qualities, better kart balance and improved braking.

And there is an arcade and lazer tag for those so inclined, and Jungle Jerrys Safari and the BounceArama for the kids.

Savage_Messiah 01-31-2012 02:15 AM

I actually had to check a calculator to figure out the minimum height... :bertstare:

Savage_Messiah 01-31-2012 02:16 AM

Seriously tho it'll take me 10 mins to get there so I might as well go hang out

LTb1ow 02-01-2012 08:34 PM

Pending where I wake up.

Jersey Mike 02-01-2012 09:54 PM

Most likely. I mean, it's up the street, so I don't have much of an excuse not to, I suppose.

BonzoHansen 02-02-2012 03:51 PM

not bringing the car is not a big deal at a meet like this

LS1ow 02-13-2012 11:00 AM

That wasn't clear and didn't see it stated anywhere on the website. Can you post this on the Facebook event?
