We have finally worked out the details of this much anticipated event with K1's manager and have come up with an exciting format with lots of driving for a great price!

Based on a 20 driver minimum, we will run two race groups of 10 drivers each.  Each group will get a:

· 12 lap practice

· 14 lap qualifier

· 16 lap race - the Formula 1 style standing start will be gridded based on the times from the qualifier

The top 3 finishers in the 16 lap races will receive a high quality trophy.  Pictures of the race winners and others will be made available via email.  We get all of this for $60.  The normal price of this package to non-members is $75.  Compare this with going to Dromo or Speedcircuit where you will pay $50 for just two non-race lapping sessions.  Additionally the driving experience will be better with a wider track, better traction and faster karts than the other venues. But it doesn't end here.

K1 has generously offered a Grand Finale race of at least 14 laps.  This race will consist of the top 5 finishers in each of the two group races.  The winner will recieve a huge trophy for his or her victory.  This is a $300 value that K1 is throwing in free for our group only!  If we have more than 24 drivers, we will have a third race group with the top 50% of each of the 3 groups going into this grand finale.

However, it is critical that we have at least 20 prepaid drivers sign up so that we can get the funds to K1 before the event.  Let's not let this great package get away.  If it is successful K1 has said that they will work with us to put on other unique races that may also include their future new venue in Irvine.
