No commitment needed. In your case, just show up if you are available. 👍

Cheers.

Any chance of settings this before Christmas day? I'm sure you'd get a lot more people to participate. I can't because I'm gonna be traveling. But it's an awesome idea, I would love to join up even though the karts are so draft happy :)

Just bring your kart and show up, no commitment required. 👍

I will see you when I see you. Cheers!
 
Rocket I'm going to send you a friend invite. I will not be there for this event(holiday travel). But, I plan on making future events you host. Been meaning to add you.
 
I have Poker on Sundays but I will try to race with you guys for an hour. I have a bunch of Karting friends I'll get to join if they can as well. I would really like to run a series or league for the Karts. I've already recruited a bunch of guys to race with on a regular basis that are also interested. I'll post a new thread about this soon. I want to make sure you can't break in Karts and gain HP.
 
Sounds like a lot of fun!! :) I want in!
 
I can't make it :(. I'll add you RocketPunch anyways as you seem to be a good guy to have if you want a race. :)

I had probably the most fun racing kart online, and have contemplated on setting up a league. The problem with GT5 is that there are really a hand full of tracks that are kart worthy; having said that we DO have the ability to create our own tracks which should compansate for GT5's short coming.

I am glad that someone else is thinking of starting a series kart league, and I will help anyway I can.

I am going to add you and we will have a little chat...:sly:

I'm down for the elf team, though can we use a controller if we don't have a wheel?

I just did some karting with Marcus and I am definitely down for this.
 
Yea Rocket I belive I raced you this past week-end on Autumn Ring/ Reverse, you spun me out on accident the first race, and vise versa the next. I'll try and get the #13 Elf to swoop in.

I'm using my CraigKast PSN ID these days. If necessary, I'll switch to my GTP PSN when the time comes. I've got your name on a slip of paper next to my PS3 and just didn't get around to adding you yesterday.
 
Nice idea! :D
Count me in! PSN: rez-vibes
 
Just a note.

I'll probably be the best if you simply just add me after you signed up. I ran a few series and sometimes things just fell throught the cracks and I might forgot to add someone.

Merry X'mas.
