Default Karting

Okay had a play at the Herts meet last weekend and had great fun. Half an hour on an indoor but I now want to do more. Any advise? Currently the best I can find is this

Oh and anyone else interested? Maybe we can get 10 like minded people together.

I know the guy who runs it. He went to school with my kids. Hamilton was discovered there.

Minimus might be able to get a good deal.

After I went karting at Milton Keynes one wet winter night when I had to lift the kart out of the potholes and hurt my back I have been worried about getting injured. Minimus broke her ribs karting last year. So count me out.

Let me know if you would like us to contact our mate about a deal if you can get a party together.

My grandson had his ninth birthday party there and it was a great success despite him crashing and being thrown out of his kart. I made a cake of the track and will post it again. There's no point in hiding one's light under a bushel!

When I was running in ProKarts I never run at Rye House for one reason or another but I hear it's very good.

It's one thing i hate about karting when people shunt you (usually when you get the broken ribs and bruises ) I accept sometimes it's inevitable, but I think people use it as atechnique if they can't overtake, they just push you out the way. It's brutal and it hurts !!

That's why the other day was

If we get a contingent together count me in, I love karting and that cake looks great, almost cartoon like.
