It could be a "cake and karting" meet. I'd probably be interested, although I have a 3" x 2" bruise on my right elbow from Saturday's session!

Yup, this is comming from the guy who got upset about miss representation of his "Red Cross" Helmet and made a habbit of ramming people off the track


Not sure how many people we need but if we aim for ten, I think that would be a good number.

Okay, so as a base, who's up for end of Jan (saturday/sunday), cost will be around

It would be better for Minimus to speak to the guy as he is her mate. I've just spoken to her on the 'phone, she can't do anything today as she is on her way to a wedding but will speak to him tomorrow.

FWIW I think the deciding factor on numbers is dependant upon the maximum number of karts they allow on track at any one time. For Saturday, it was 8 max, on the outdoor tracks it may be more.

Think the max on this one is 50, its twice the length of the indoor track. Might be able to work it as a group event with food as well depending on what peoples budgets are. Would people be interested in that or buggering off to the local afterwards?

One of the better options seems to be the Open Grand Prix

Spoken to her again and she says the place will probably be closed tomorrow so she won't speak to him until Wednesday.

I think you've got all the info you need on the site. All we need Minimus to do is to try to wangle a discount?

She and her husband are both interested in taking part.

I know you can see this from the site but she pointed out that the karts are twin-engined and do twice the speed of the ones at Letchworth and the track is much bigger.

She likes the system that you have mentioned with qualifying.

Okay, lets get the ball rolling, I have started a new thread here in the UK Meets and Events.

I am hoping we can get 25 people interested in participating but I am keeping it open to spectators as well MQ.
