Right then,, i have elected myself to sort out a karting event..seeing as the last karting event never happened.

So Karting will be at Daytona Racing in Milton Keynes.

They have twin engined karts, the track is demanding..

So depending on numbers will decide the type of event we will do..
A Date will be put forward once we have a good turn out of names..


i have chosen MK simply cause im organising it,, if our northen members wish to do some karting then perhaps a member can arrange something. what would be good is to have a south versus north LOC team karting challange..

So Far the people that are interested:-

Me
Wosket
Wongster
Rodders
Norkep
Shahz
marcus
gordon
besty
dobedo

you not letting TIC know so they can beat you again

lol bring it on LOOooooooserss

I may be.............need a 4 engined cart due to me love handles.

If Besty take his caravan....you'll never get passed him

so thats another two the pete and dave.. ryan can bat for the other side i think...if he can get a team together..

Right then if any of us from up north want to go karting daytona have a place in manchester, if intrested please post and i will try to sort it out for us.cheers gordon

good man gordon..then w can have a north vs south quartely challenge

sounds good to me, come on put your names down.

we tried that before but everytime either myself or tony came up with an idea nobody would commit, the problem we found was most decent tracks needed a deposit for a large group and nooone was interested....

good luck if it could be organised as i still have the winning team trophy from the toc vs loc first outing in oxford

lets home theres a better response this time

might be interested

as long as they stay on the ground

when im involved you should be worried bazza...

hence the "might"

We are karting this sunday at the northern mini meet and the details have been posted on LOC for a while now

ken i know, as you know i know but im 99.9% sure i cannt make this sunday due to work, if i try to sort it out in manchester i might get some of them from the midlands to come , as its not to far north,as it gose i dont think anyone is going as there are no names been put down, yours gordon

Good luck then Gordon but i'd leave Daytona alone as when i contacted them a bit back they wanted a minimum of 20 peeps @ £47.50 each payable in advance, also had a similar quote off speedkart in warrington, grand up front minimum 20 peeps

cheers ken thats lots of dosh, theres one just up the road from me 100yds i will see what thay charge, post soon working tonight.

Good luck Gordon, would love to have a friendly karting spot over your way as we could rotate the northern meets from west to central to east.

After this sunday the central karting venue will not need a deposit for future meets and the eastern one will even give us a discount with no deposit needed as well

Fargo, pop over to TOC and pm Knowlson as he will be able to get a TOC southern karting team up to give you a run for your money Then maybe at a later date we could bring the 2 TOC 6 man northern karting teams and the 1 southern 6 man karting team to a midlands venue and we can then see who is best

How about the loc discount team try to negotiate a deal with daytona probably not likely but its a thought

bump!

not much interested from LOC so its ground to a halt..

c'mon peeps, lets go karting!!!!!!!!

theres a race track called the three sisters at manchester also,i just got my caravan to go round,just kidding,but ive been to that track and its a good en.dont know the costs though.

the last time i went to that one mr best it was £60 for a hole afternoon

that seems good value gord,

does that mean you two clowns are up for a bit of karting?

i love karting johny boy yeh ,

if you mean me then yer i am up for it

thats another 2 paul, how many do we need?

well with only 10 the only option to us at daytona would be the Iron man

Iron Man
This is the most demanding of single driver races Daytona offer. Each driver will have a 5 minute practie and a 5 minute qualifying session followed by a one hour race.
(£75 per driver weekday)(£85 per driver weekend)

lets do that then if thats the only option, what does everyone else think?

or look at an alternative venue?

im up for it,, think dayona ouwld be best as they have the twin engined karts

yeah, the track looks pretty good too

Track & karts are excellent

shall we start looking at a provisional date chaps?

anyone wanna bring mates to boost numbers?

could post on TOC too

where is it john,and also i could only do weekends,sat best 4 me.

milton keynes i believe mr best

which is near where,how far from manchester

have you not got a map book?

about 2 and a half hrs from manc land i reckon

well voluntered..

all done

too far for me i`m afraid john,sorry.

it is a bit of a trek for you dave!

bit of concern on the price over on TOC mr fargo, not really thought about it but it does seem a bit pricey £85 for an hour and 10mins karting??? but saying that we will be in twin engined karts and on a pretty good track.

how many do we need for a gp with heats and all that and whats the price of that like?

i personally dont mind how much it costs i just wanna go karting!!!!!!!!!!!

well it aint cheap

have a look here for the costs and people numbers.

this aint no dodgy back street karting track with karts that fall to pieces.. i remember the oxford track that was arranged.. you had chains coming off,, wheels, and the kart i had the throttle cable snapped so i was left with one hand onthe wheel and the other on the carb..

these babys are twin engined,,and the track is big..

so if we've got 10 now can we just go for it?

had a look at the three sisters track as someone mentioned it earlier. looks pretty good, twin engined 70mph karts and one of the fastest tracks in the uk apparantly and they do a gp thing which works out cheaper.

i quite like the idea of racing for a whole hour though!

are there still spaces available for this? definately want to come if there's still space

3 sisters looks good.. bit far from me though but i guess majority rules..

kieren, more the merrier..

just a blast up the motorway mate!

would it cause any probs for other members if it was at 3 sisters?

i think numbers could be boosted by the northern toc'ers as its not as far to travel and cheaper.

dave, would you and big paul travel to the 3 sisters?

i've emailed the track to see what they can do for us but i still like the idea of a 1 hour endurance race, 3 sisters do a 30 min practice and 2 hr endurance race for £185 per team, min of 6 teams and no limit to the number of drivers per team.
