# I have a dream: Geek Go-Karting in Israel

By Roy Osherove January 24, 2006 In [Community](https://osherove.com/blog/category/community)

**Historical article** · Originally published January 24, 2006; technical details may be outdated.

Here's a thought. Instead of doing a geek dinner, how about a **Geek Go Karting League**??

you need at least 8 people to join in, but we can meet bi-monthly and rip the runways (probably in Natanya, or other places if you want).

So - if

\- you're a geek living in Israel

\- would like nothing better than to make all the other geeks eat your smoke

\- Want a geeky prize if you're the winner in that tournament (I have plenty to share!)

Send an email to **\[email removed\]** with the following details:

 - Your full name

\- Phone number (hopefully Mobile)

\- What Day you'd like to go: Tuesday or Thursday

\- Assuming the cost is around 170 NIS per person, would you do it on a bi-monthly basis, or every 3 months?

\- Assuming the cost is FREE, would you attend? (every 2 months, or every 3?)

Let's see if we can get this thing off the ground!

just some thoughts:

we can make this an international event as well: have a site with top scorers, and once a year, at some conference, have a go kart race between top scorers from countries.

~Maybe **Microsoft** will be willing to pick up the tab for something like this...~ No they wont..
