K1 Speed Get Together, Seattle Edition

[Mechie3]

I'll be in Seattle Dec 17-31 and would like to get some of the 818 builders/builders to be/wanna be builders together for some go karting at K1 speed. No solid plans yet, just wanted to give locals a heads up so we can find a day that works.

K1 Speed
2207 Bel-Red Rd
Bellevue, WA 98007

Lets do it! Ill be working in that area around that time so it works out perfect. :D

[Mechie3]

Bumping this up. Anyone looking to attend? Preference for day/time?

[FFRSpec72]

I'll be around (day or night, except for the 19th/20th) as I'm just a 2 miles from this location, if you get bored then you can come over and give me a hand on my 818 or Challenge car (new engine install). Any parts you want to bring me I will gladly accept ! Also we can take a trip out to http://www.blackravenbrewing.com after K1 to unwind with some of the best beer in the NW

I'd love to join if the time works. 17th all day works. 18th-20th works also except for evenings of the 18th and 19th.

I'm only 3 miles south from K-1 but have never been. I believe I even have a gift card for it somewhere. I will spring for all if I can find it.

I'm traveling the 17th. The 19th my inlaws made plans for a weekend trip to Vancouver. So far it looks like the 18th during the day works best. If that doesn't work, likely some time after christmas would be open as well. Jeff, the offer is too kind. :)

[Kurk818]

Im currently working within 1 block of the location. Im in. What times were you looking at?

[riptide motorsport]

That place is blast!!!!

[Mechie3]

For those of you working, what time works best? it's my first full day in Seattle so early afternoonish might work best? I told my inlaws I have plans sometime that day and they pretty much said "ok".

[FFRSpec72]

So there is a groupon for K1, 4 races, 2 licenses, 2 people for $44 http://www.groupon.com/deals/k1-speed-24-103-seattle?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=us_dt_sea_ggl_txt_ttt_sr_cbp_ch1_nbr_ k*k1%20speed_m*p_d*seattle-rtc-root_g*rtc-k1-speed-24-103-seattle-phrase_c*63703451769_ap*1t1 (as there is also a %20 off until tomorrow so cost is $35). So if Jeff does not have a card or we need more races then this would be a deal to get.

As far as time, anytime after 1PM is fine with me, I'm off just working on my race cars for a few days. My daughter may come also.

Let's say the winner get a Turbo Heat Shield !

I just found out yesterday that K1 opened a place in Indy! Too bad it's 40 mins away on the other side of town. Then again, maybe it's good it's 40 mins away so I don't go broke. I've been asking them for 4 years to come here! There's an Indy groupon, but it's not valid until after Jan 1. I didn't see that restriction on the one for Redmond. Nice!

Ahh, the fine print says Jan 1st, oh well

This can happen. :D

[Mechie3]

Let's shoot for 2:30pm on the 18th. Looks like they're closed for a private event from 12-2:30.

http://www.k1speed.com/hours-pricing.html

Cost:
Annual license: $6
14 Lap Race: $19.99
Buy 2 get 1 free Mon-Thur

I couldn't find any B1G1 coupons currently valid.

Two options:

1: Three races + license. Total cost is $46 + tax.
2: Two races + t-shirt + license "k1 speedpass deal". Total cost is $49 + tax

Preference?

Which ever we do, top time of the day gets a Zero dB heatshield.

I did a Lemans style 2 hour race yesterday in Indy on gas carts. My shoulders are super sore today after doing 89 laps.

[Kurk818]

Ill be there!

[farawayjeff]

I'll be there too. Looking forward to meeting everyone and 'gracefully' losing some races.

I'm wearing a red polo with black side stripes. See you all there!

[David Hodgkins]

Pics guys! And video!!

Have fun!

:)

[Mechie3]

I'm here. Look for the red shirt and the baby stroller.

Unlike the other K1's I've been too, Seattle is a bit smaller so they separate the viewing area with glass and it's difficult to get decent photos. Managed to get a couple of photos though.
