Spring Fling 2008!
Date: Saturday, June 21st.
Here it is, against all odds. Fighting its way up from the streets. Breaking every rule. Pissing off the law. Getting teenage girls pregnant. Thumbing its nose at the establishment. Harder, stronger and faster than ever before. It’s Spring Fling 2008. And damn, it smells like Hai Karate.
You won’t want to miss this Fling. It’s the kind of event where the stories begin with “remember that time when” and end with a shot of whiskey.
They say a plan is nothing more than a list of things that probably won’t happen. Mind you, “they” probably drive a Toyota Camry. On that note, here is the itinerary for Spring Fling 2008.
6:30-7:20 Breakfast at Hinsdale Oasis
7:20-7:30 Assemble and leave.
7:30-9:30 Drive 1 hr. to Bob Kenney’s House (the drive to Bob’s is 1 hour-ish, but we lose 1 hour because of a time change.
9:30-10:00 Pick up Bob Kenney. Use Bob’s bathroom.
10:00-11:00 Drive 1 hr. to Karting Track
11:00-1:00 Karting at Michiana Raceway Park

1:00-2:00 Drive back to Bob Kenney’s House
2:00-3:00 Hang out at Bob Kenney’s House
3:00-3:10 Drive 10 minutes to Quaker Steak and Lube
3:10-? Dine at Quaker Steak and Lube
A few notes about the Karting:
The teams:
Team Eternal Sportsmind
Team Apex Predators
Team FI Brotherhood
• Teams will be picked the day of the event, playground style.
• Nobody here is a pro kart racer (or at least they’re not admitting it).
• No passing in corners. We don’t want anyone going home in an ambulance. Except Randy - put him in the wall.
• Trophies will be awarded for the winning team, fastest lap, the “Spirit” Award and the Ken Sax Award. Slowest driver gets the Pantywaist Award.
A list of commonly asked questions about Spring Fling 2008…
• Do I need a Talkabout Radio?
It is strongly recommended. Most “FRS” radios work – you can get them at Target for like 40 bucks. You’ll need it if you are driving behind DRZZZ.
• Can I bring friends that are not in the NSX club?
Yes. This is an open event. The mix this year should include 350Zs, RX7s, Ferraris (!) and more. The only stipulation is that you have to be a NSX PRIME member or have a NSX PRIME member vouch for you.
• What is the price of the Karting?
$125 per kart per hour. This is an endurance race with teams, so for two hours of racing with 3 person teams, about $85 dollars. Which is a damn good value.
• Can I bring a date/spouse?
Yes, but they should like karting.
• What if I don’t want to race Karts?
Meet up with us at 2 at Bob’s house. We’ll have stories to share.
• How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop?
47.
• What if I clog Bob Kenney’s toilet?
A plunger will be supplied.
• What if I have other work or family commitments?
Consider re-prioritizing your life. Seriously, how old are you?
• Can I bring a pet?
Can your pet drive a kart?
We will be adding a few more details about the Karting, and driving directions to Bob's House, the Track and Quaker Steak and Lube.
