I've been to the gym this morning, shaved my head and going to have a big dump before I leave... Want to be as light as possible!

A big thanks to mick for putting the go karting together. I had a good night.
I have 4 time slips here so I will post up the fastest for each driver tonight unless someone has all 5 and can do it before.
Well done mick
thank you marc and your most welcome i dont have time sheet for race 3 but you post up what you have, someone will have the other to pm ya.
me and mike would also like to thank everyone that came, everyone arrived before us how keen lol, we all got on like we had known each other for ages, all daves mates including paolo the fastest italian stallion going lol, andy bod182 and his mates who were a top bunch and of course marc,nug,rom,phil, and steve. we had a wait between the 5 races but it was the best £35 i spent apart from i ache all over, couldnt ask for a better evening. thanx again and we will organise a half yearly kart meet for the late summer all the best mick
I would love to do a outdoor circuit with faster karts.
It won't be cheap though.
Do you think you could put one together mick?
I would be prepared to help out if needed.
Thruxton have some awesome outdoor karts and is a good track as well, def worth a look
anywayz we can knock heads later marc im sure its poss if we can make numbers i dont mind the drive
Yeah me and couple of mates went few times last summer, ten times better then the indoor jobs, even better if the sun is out and the track was hot you could take the corners at silly speeds if you neck and arms could take the force!
Have a butchers

I was looking at thruxton and sandown park.
Neither are cheap but you get what you pay for I guess.
Would need to call them for quotes but I think hiring the place solely for a RTOC event is out of the question, but I see no reason why we can't get a few together and tag along with whatever they have running.
Phil is emailing me a price list later.
I don't mind helping out but I don't want to put it together though.
thanx westy i know you were thinking of coming to the one we just done, will look at all angles first, we are going to try and do 2 a year if we get the numbers next would probably be a weekend in sept so outdoors may be abit of a prob but may concider for the april/may 2014 event, the indoor track at crawley is good all weathers but obviously we will look at all options first but was 1st class last night i can tell yas all thanx mick
ill organise marc ya can help me boss
thrux is 110 miles/2 hrs for me
Phil has just been on the phone and he mentioned he used to sleep with a guy who works at sandown park and can offer us a discount.

Subject: Exclusive Racing at Daytona
Hi Phil,
My recommendations are the Daytona Mini Grand Prix, or The Daytona Cup.
Daytona Mini Grand Prix
This exciting multi race format is perfect for groups of mixed experience and ability with several shorter races and plenty of opportunities to move up the leader board.
Each driver will take to the circuit for a short practice to warm up, learn the circuit and get used to the karts.
We then grid up for 3 individual qualifying heats with rotating starting positions – all drivers start one race near the front, one near the middle, and one near the back.
This gives all competitors a real chance to end up on pole position for the Grand Final – all drivers qualify.
5 minute practice for every driver
3 x 8 minute heats races
10 minute Grand Final
The Daytona Cup
This format is a head to head sprint race…
Each driver would enjoy a 5 minute practice/qualifying session in which they would get to grips with both the kart and the circuit.
There then follows the 30 Minute race, and at the green light, drivers would race head to head in a sprint to the finish.
5 minute practice/qualifying for every driver
30 minute Race
There is a minimum billing of 20 drivers for Exclusive Races on The GP Circuit at Daytona Sandown Park, with a maximum of 30 drivers.
Daytona Sandown Park Circuit Our Standard Prokart – Twin Engine capable of 60mph…
Exclusive Mini GP = £ 70 per driver inc VAT
Exclusive Daytona Cup = £55 per driver inc VAT
Of course these prices include all necessary Race Gear, Safety Briefing, Trophies for the top 3 drivers and the Podium Photo Presentation.
If you would like to proceed with a booking, we require a 50% deposit, along with a signed, returned booking form. The balance is due no later than 10 days prior to racing. I trust this meets with your requirements, if you need anything further then please do not hesitate to get in touch.
