NW Karting @ Hooton Park 22/4/12

[Alex]

Hi everyone. I've booked a Grand Prix karting day for us all on Sunday 22nd April starting at 11:00am. The cost will be £45 and we need a minimum of 6 drivers. This will be around 1.5 hours actually in the kart. Please see the website for further info:

I'd really like a good gathering for this as past karting events I've done have been great fun if a little thin on the ground....... Hopefully this date gives everyone plenty of time to arrange a day off etc.

I've visited the track just the other weekend and it's a large outdoor track used for proper MSA events so looks like it'll be a cracking day!

Any questions please ask.....

[Lomo]

Great work Alex

Let the fun begin!

[Alan]

Invite her along.....

[GTphil]

Invite her along.....

It's an option, not sure she would relish the fact of having to bring two babys along with her also! Not sure I would either

I was thinking more along the lines of doing a few jobs round the house, maybe cooking her a nice meal, bit of housework then bringing up the subject again we will see how I get on

Huh, I only mentioned that as that's what I said to my Mrs (knowing full well she'd say no!)

A bit of hoovering brought her round in the end!

[Nick k]

So how many drivers do you need?? is it like a team event or just come along and have a go??

[Alex]

The minimum needed is 6 which we have already, anymore is happy days. I will need to let them know in advance how many are coming so they know how many karts to prepare mind.....

[Alex]

Righto guys, as stated, the karting starts at 11:00 but can we make sure we're all there for about 10:00 and no later than 10:30 as I'm sure they'll be a briefing etc before hand

[Tony Walker]

Will do

[Alex]

No worries Ranj, you've got my number if you need me

[Alan]

What happens if its raining??

[Tony Walker]

It gets more fun

[Tony Walker]

My mate last time we were there went off last lap in to a huge puddle

[Tony Walker]

Should we all meet up early go for a little drive? or after maybe?

[Gibbo69]

I'm a no guy's , have done my back in

[Tony Walker]

[Lomo]

What happens if its raining??

We drink beer instead.....

[Alex]

Gibbo - That's a nightmare mate, is there no way you can make it? dose yourself up? It'll be a real shame not to see you there

Alan - Yeah if it rains it'll be good fun!

Tony - We'll see how things go afterwards. Maybe we could go for a quick drink or drive (not both! ) depending on what people want to do.

Can't wait!

[Scoff]

[Tony Walker]

[Alex]

As far as I'm aware we still race. I visited the track a while a go and they were racing along on the rain. I think Tony has raced in the rain there too
