BoatMad Karting extravaganza, Camberley 13 Jan 07

[Johnny Rocket]

OK, since Gav (aka Mister Tetchy) has thrown his toys out of the pram and gone back to sniffing the resin bucket, here's a plan:

I have provisionally booked us a slot at TeamSport Karting in Camberley (http://www.team-sport.co.uk/karting_tracks/karting_in_camberley.html) on Saturday 13 January at 4pm

We're going for their Team Challenge 90 option, which includes

• Drivers briefing
• 20 minute practice session
• 90 minutes of team racing
• Trophy presentation for the top 3 teams
• 3 drivers per team

The price is £49.95 per person. There are options a few quid cheaper, but this gives us the most kart time for our money.

We'll be finished by about 6.30pm in time for some light refreshments. :D

PM me to tell me how many places you want to book, and I'll send you payment details (Paypal or cheque are probably easiest).

I must have payment in full by 15 December if you want to play. We need between 21 and 36 drivers, so don't muck about just send me your money!

Game on :cheers:

Dude 6 lap grand prix events are rubbish, do they not do any type of team endurance events???

[Rupert Munro]

inside tracks can (usually) only have a max of 8 carts on track at one time due to small size of track, you need an outdoor track or v.large indoor one (i dont know of any) to have endurance races with lots of people - otherwise its very expensive for just a few people to race over a long no of laps as it means basically renting the track with 8 instead of 20-30

http://www.thruxtonkarting.co.uk/index_new.html Looks fun for the summer! Works out about the same price as where we're going, except you'd be outside in the pissing rain and January winds!

Given that this is a social event about getting people together for a bit of a laugh and a few beers after, it doesn't top Camberley.

[Taz]

I like the beer idea!

[Matt]

What about bank transfer?

[Johnny Rocket]

I like the bank transfer idea!

i was doing fine until you stuck yr feckin nose in........ enjoy!

[Johnny Rocket]

It's good to see you're not being tetchy!

You coming? Or is it too far for you? ;fish;

[JamesM]

I prefered Gavs 1 hour in a Kart thingy. That would have sorted out the men from the boys!!! :D

Gotta agree there - 1hr full race vs 30mins where your sharing the winning (or losing as the case may be!) with 2 others - just no competitions really.

[Burty]

I'd prefer Gav's enduro too! i find grand prix's rubbish as 6 laps isn't enough time to put all the other competitors into the tyre wall:D

[Matt]

I'm not sure.

For me, I agree, would like a good scrap.

For Vix & the other girls though, suspect an hour endurance racing might be a bit much.

To be honest I reckon 1 hour will be to much for most people except me cus I'm going to OD on energy supliments as usual :D

[Matt]

In fact, WTF is a ribnobba doing organising a hardboaters event, and usurping Gav!

[Rupert Munro]

maybe a poll?

most good Karting venues will be very flexible as to the format of the event i.e havin seperate heats and race handicap for the ladies if required, but i'm sure rocketman will have sorted all that.

[Burty]

I'm happy to boycott the ribnobbas event in support for Gav's:up:

[JamesM]

1 hour :up:, I've still got half a box of 'Extreme Turbo Nutter' bars left :D

Polls are for wimps

That was irony - I posted a poll in TB earlier in the evening.
