I'd like to think I'm frivolous with my money but $1200.00? Otherwise I'm in with probably another 12 guys.

Ron P 10-10-2003 09:52 PM

Madcow 10-10-2003 10:19 PM

I've already made a few phone calls and I'll be there! Seems My postal connections came through once again. I failed to mention the fact that the Mailmen of Key West use scooters and I am able to Borrow one. And we all know how fast mailmen love to finish their work so they can go to the bars! see you on the starting line.

=Unless I'm Too drunk and fall over like last time

Damn that Kickstand was just here a minute ago?

CAP071 10-11-2003 09:01 AM

Are we all going to wear OSO t-shirts that day ? Or do I just walk in and listen for the loudest group of people?

Are we gonna need safety Heliocopters for this?:D

Ron P 10-11-2003 03:21 PM

When you say "Scooter" what exactly do you mean? Rear engine? Any other technical specs? I might bring one from home rather than hopping up one of theirs.

eMotiondriver 10-11-2003 03:28 PM

I'll post something shortly.
The official unsanctioned chairmen.:crazy:

Ron,

eMotiondriver 10-12-2003 08:25 PM

This was brought to my attention rule 1:2:43-8 page 2, All Scooters must be a rental.:crazy:

This works out for a level playing field.

CAP071 10-12-2003 08:27 PM

I'm already in training here


Just like in Smokey n the Bandit part# 2

I'll be ready

R Addiction 10-12-2003 08:39 PM

JROMY 10-12-2003 08:46 PM

Just so everyone knows, I have purchased the rights to run the scooter race and have made the following changes in the race venue:

The scooter race is now in Antarctica (the same weekend as planned in KW)

All entry fees will be paid to me, wherein I will pay you part back to participate

......................etc etc

CAP071 10-12-2003 08:48 PM

OH MAN Just so happens I know a guy who Flys cargo there

CAP071 10-12-2003 08:50 PM

Maybe we can broadcast it live on OSO ?


We can have Bikini babes at each block to cheer us on?

Ron P 10-12-2003 10:18 PM

Ok, I think we have this nailed down.

We have a time. 5pm
Place - Hogs Breath
Date 11/21
We have rules - must be a Key West rental unit.
We have prizes - Nothing - maybe a beer.

Now we need a course map.

packinair 10-12-2003 10:26 PM

You forgot the mandatory drivers meeting @ noon.

eMotiondriver 10-13-2003 02:16 PM

The drivers meeting is the night before at Hogs Breath around 5PM.
Along with testing, you must pre pre register on this thread to qualify for race.

This is not full contact unless you get the insurance waiver and bring proof.

eMotiondriver 10-13-2003 02:20 PM

3 drivers attending. 2 Male 1 female.

Ron P 10-13-2003 02:30 PM

Yes, we need a drivers meeting the night before. So we can.

1. Walk, stumble or drive the course.
2. Rent a scooter.
3. Get used to driving the scooter.
4. Drink together.

I think I might have a few players with me.

CAP071 10-13-2003 03:53 PM

Oh for a second there I thought we were gonna have to fail a breathalyzer b4 we started the race


WATCH OUT FOR THE CHICKENS BACK ON WHITE STREET!

Re: Key West unsanctioned Scooter Race
 
Have fun guys, I don't think it's the only unsanctioned race that weekend in KW is it? :D

Ron P 10-13-2003 04:22 PM

I think we might need more classes.

Drivers under 200lbs
Drivers over 200lbs
Woman drivers

We might also need scorers and some numbers. Stickerboy, will you be in Key West?

eMotiondriver 10-13-2003 04:26 PM

One class none of this Scooter and Scooter Lite chit.:D

That's what caused all the racing issue's in other forums of racing..:eek:

Scott B 10-13-2003 04:33 PM

Hmm, OK so I will have one of the Harleys down there. If I disconnect a plug wire, can I enter it in Scooter Lite??

3 or 4 drivers, will advise :) :)

Scott B

Ron P 10-13-2003 06:05 PM

Only one class? But, but that's not fair to the fat guys.

Can't we dream up like 12 classes?

Old scooters
new scooters
fairy drivers
scooters with bald tires
Drivers with bald heads (less wind resistance)

The list can go on and on.

Can I bring an onboard navigator to read the chart? Can I use an overhead chopper to talk to me around (through helmet headset of course) the course?

What happens if there is a crash? Yellow flag from the pace scooter? How do we line up?

There's just so much to consider......

eMotiondriver 10-13-2003 06:19 PM

One Class that's it:p

The race has No yellows and 1 lap.

The start will be the the old days. You run to the scooter fire up and leave.

Sometime after 6pm while we are all at the bar someone will announce start you engines and leave:crazy:

Ron just between U and me,and you don't tell anyone this, but if you rent a 2 seater they run faster.:)

GPS and navigators aloud.:eureka:
