Scoff
27-10-2009, 21:52
blocky's been on the blower, says all places for this are booked up so no more deposits into his paypal ;)

I'll edit the paypal address away from this thread incase some numb nuts sends money over without reading the whole thread.....

Blot
27-10-2009, 22:05
If there's a supporting 'old man' karting event alongside this stick me on the list :crap:

If anyone drops out would be up for this...maybe...if I can have a cushion...and a hot water bottle:mart:

Jessop
28-10-2009, 22:15

Jessop
04-11-2009, 13:21
Yarm is no good, you'd be better off in Middlesbrough if im honest.

All the folk in yarm have too much money and are up their own arse. Women in boro are not so classy and up for a laugh lol :cooter:

Ashy
04-11-2009, 21:10
Women..... boro..... classy

3 words that aren't usually seen in the same sentance :cooter:

Jessop
04-11-2009, 23:38
You can pick 2 of the three it seems.

women and classy

boro and women



but wait a minute.. boro and classy?

okok, that wont work lol :ashamed:

jaffa
07-11-2009, 02:18
been to the pub next to the auction b4 though and it suits......i think???

Pervy Mechanic
21-11-2009, 10:59
Right lads.

Final payments of £30 for the karting need to be received by the 1st december.

On speaking with scoff regards paypal, and hearing the trouble he had with them suspending his account, It would seem that the safest option is bank transfer for the remaining monies.

I hope this is ok for everyone, and i will send pm's with the necessary details

:-)

Jessop
07-12-2009, 16:41
Roll on this sat!!

as long as i beat brigsy is all good haha!

note to all: Bring your own THICK gloves. after my experience last time with the provided gloves your hands will almost fall off with the cold - honestly it really is painful.

Ideally OMP/Sparco race gloves are ideal.

jaffa
07-12-2009, 21:14
is anyone comin for some grub and a few beers?

Lomo
07-12-2009, 21:19
I'll be coming for some food mate yeh...Driving home though so beers are out the question..

Jessop
07-12-2009, 23:13

For anybody that hasnt been before , there is a bar there should you want to have a pint after. :beer:

Brigsy has set a personal challenge that he'll beat me... bah! :mart:

Brigsy
10-12-2009, 11:54

Right everyone. We need to be at teesside on the dot of 2.30pm, as they are squeezing us straight onto the track after the last group to avoid darkness !!! I've told everyone to arrive at 2.15pm to account for Jaffa's **** directions ;-) and other possible mishaps.

A convoy will be meeting up at hartshead moor services M62 eastbound at 12.45.

Postcode again is TS6 6XH

Oh, and there is 1 space thats become available too, so any takers, pm me

Blocky :-)

Great day chaps =]

Really enjoyed the karting.

Had a good battle with Si (gringo). Fortunatley i kept my kart on the track, for the most part. Was pretty slippy though mind.

Safe to say brigsy will have to try harder to keep up with me next time.. he bought me a pint after though so its all good :D

Not the best picture but.. if you know where you finished you can work your times out if you didnt get chance to check out the results sheet. :confused:

Well done Jessop "schumacher" you were like a greased sh!t off a shovel out there!!

Ive got a set of results marked up with names on, i'll upload them tomorrow :)

Scoff
13-12-2009, 15:06
a top day as ever, no better way to de-stress than in a twin engined gokart :D ashy, yeah, that was more fun than the dry day. need to fetch some better gloves next time though.

Karlos
14-12-2009, 08:49
Enjoyed Saturdays shenanigans. Good to see old faces etc :) My hands have been in defrost all Sunday.

http://www.rtoc.org/boards/picture.php?albumid=883&pictureid=9567

I wonder if the Kph colum is top speed or average speed? Must be average, those things went faster than 40kph?

Ashy
14-12-2009, 10:43
And I think Brigsy's is wrong, I guess kart 30 is one of the guys from the track who joined in later in the race.

Brigsy
14-12-2009, 13:04
Good point Ashy, i know i spent half the time facing the wrong way but i werent 16 laps behind:laugh:

jaffa
14-12-2009, 19:30
good do deffo better in the rain/damp more fun a lot more skill involved......in places.... instead of balls out speed...cheers master perv...roll on the next 1 ;)

Jessop
14-12-2009, 22:54
Scoff - i even brought my own proper race gloves down but hands were still cold! I wonder if karting specific gloves are any thicker? hmm

Balaclava was a good investment though - kept my neck warm , despite my bloody overalls being wide open as the velcro nackered up after the first lap! :laugh:


Will have to arrange another one i think into the first half of next year - thoroughly enjoyed it. When the evenings are a bit lighter and the weathers a bit better would be good to go for a mooch out in the cars after onto the dales for some scran and take some pictures? Im sure brigsy isnt the only one with an SLR :coffee:

Scoff
15-12-2009, 00:22
not sure I'd have the energy to do anything after a day karting, I had a 2.5hr drive home and was well and truely knackered when I got in :crap:

weirdly it was just the 20mins qualifying laps that I felt cold hands, the 40mins racing was no problem at all :cartman:

Ashy
15-12-2009, 23:05
Been to see one of our machine tool suppliers today and in there technology centre they had this little beast!!

It was awesome, both front wheels had disc brakes controled by a small hydraulic and brake mounted under the steering wheel! looked like a right weapon, just needs an engine!!
