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.

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

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