Dear Shamu Friends, The moment you have all been waiting for has finally arrived. Today we will announce our news We have enjoyed reading your assumptions and we must admit we were very surprised to see that one of you did give the right answer. No, CFF, you were very far off and JWK, stop smoking what you’re smoking. So, CONGRATULATIONS WYCCO!!! You got it spot on, on your first try. Yes, my dears, we proudly announce the creation of Speedwest Organisation and Kart Racing Track. Shamu is probably the only Motorsport & Other Matters forum to have its own Karting Track, as, to show our appreciation and friendship towards all of you, this track is also YOUR track. There. Now you know and of course, we can’t wait to welcome you on our indoor karting circuit. And, I might add, as there will be quite a lot of refurbishing to be done starting April 1st (no joke!!!), you can earn your way to karting ad nauseam by coming here to lend a hand!

Congrats
So what are we looking at for this track? I have driven a few Karts, but I am wondering what you guys are doing with the place. Henrik if you loose one race to any of us you will be in BIG trouble.
Something occured to me. If this place gets going you might see M$ in there. i know a few drivers here go to the track Rx and Cine drive at

Thanks for the support guys. This is indeed a great venture. Within the organisation we will develop a school for kids (doesn't exist in Switzerland), events on track, and to other races, company incentives championships indoor and outdoor and a whole lot more. The track exists but we are changing most of it. You can have a look at the current website www.formulekart.ch, we will exploit the current facilities for a month or two and change the whole concept.

Wow- that is incredible news! Must confess, the only racing I've ever done is FPOTM racing... and I failed to make much of an impression at that! Unfortunately- I doubt I could either be spared from work for more than a few days (I am the only full time employee at my company), nor (realistically) afford the airfare to Europe- otherwise I would love to help- if indeed I could... If there is anything I can do from here, (need me to contact any US companies or anything), let me know! New job-search posibilities... Kart Detective...

I t was definitely worth the waiting!!! -and that's just me refering to hearing about it, I can't imagine how you guys must feel. maybe you should even open a thread on memoires about it, that would come, I know many of us would go racing to read them... good luck

Congatulation to both of you...Will this be a full time job for both? Are you dropping your other jobs? This is sooooo cool. I am sooooooo jealous.
If you ever want to develop, I submit my application as manager of your future track in...Kerpen.
Actually...I'd be ready to clean the toilets...
Again. Congrats to both of you. Good things come to those who...work hard. I am sure you deserve it. As you will deserve a booming business...
S....
