Cool. Fast go karts and a bar onsite? I'm on that!!!
Probably worth an email blast even, once we come up with a date.

January?
First saturday is out for me, Mom's b-day, rest of the month is good.

Will do Harley. No date picked as of yet, just trying to gauge interest. If enough are interested we can firm up a date which would most likely be later in January.
