    I've got no issue's with this.. Only problem is, is you have to leave early 11:30ish to catch a train home.

    Unless 1 person from each area drives n don't drink?

    And falling alseep (darts)

    We could look into a party boat up the thames, they are awesome!

    I don't mind staying out, but I doubt many of us would/will... I duno I'm up for any sort of laugh and general get together of friends etc..

    Failing that Mick could do drop off's in his taxi, after all we do let him come out with us for the day???

    right MR REED ive done some homework and crawley atm has 16 spaces for karting sunday evening 22nd december, its the same as before unlimited so does mean most of the evening but means 50 mins of track time for the unbelieable price of £35, yes £35 same as before, are you free for this reedy, ive done all the ground work

    who would out of interest be free on this day for some karting action

    arrive 17.15 start 17.45 till late £35 we need to get numbers quite quick on this thou as we would need 16 people to have exclusive track time thanx mick

    Do they do an endurance race there?
    I find these the best, split up in teams having about 3-4 people per team and then race for 2hrs

    Mini le-mans style race

    I've only just seen this... I am in.

    I do agree with Car.Crash, a whole evening of karting is not ideal, especially if you want to go for a meal after.

    Either do 30 or 40mins karting (should only cost a little more than the whole evening session) then a meal after OR just a meal, which will take half the night anyway. Just my opinion but I will attend whatever we do.
