LeMans Karting Discount card

Alright Karting cheapskates... I too was in the same boat not long ago, until I found this discount card available: http://shop.thesmartcircle.com/pls/n...roduct_id=6269

I bought on last year about this time and used practically every hole punch there was, saved a bunch of money, and drove free practice sessions on my lunch break many-a-times. This year I bought (2) cards! :RockOn - not mine:

...Plus they have the online scoring and timing system for bragging rights after the event, perfect for a community like ours.


Hope this helps!

Plus... NCE group rate is 20% off.

So it's around $30 for the sprint race.
It's a pretty nice warm up and less commitment than to go Track or AutoX.

I actually have 3 ppl is ready to roll as Divebombers.
Com'on spread the words.

:RockOn - not mine:

It's cheaper than AutoX or Trackday and it's fun.
$30 for 50laps is not that bad of a deal.

Yea don't get me wrong... I happen to be a big fan of the circuit. And TOP 50 in the last 5 weeks:

http://scores.oskarsystems.com/lmkfr...pan=5w&topn=50


Well, yea 48th. Not bad for 240 at the wheels! (lbs)

Too bad they don't differentiate the dual engine kart times... I'm a single engine sniper.
