Shall we go Karting again?
Discussion
Hi chaps
After last years great effort, I think we should do this again sometime in the new year. Date yet to be confirmed, but it would be one evening as to suit everyone a bit better.
We would be going to PPIK in Leeds, it's well known and most people have been before and it's easy to get too - It's also pretty good as far as indoor karting goes. From memory the Iron Man challenge they do is 10 minute qualifying, and 20 minute race, which generally is enough for everyone. It's £40 I think.
Ok so let's try see how many people want to come, and please just state what evenings are generally best, then I shall simply pick a date which seems to suit people most, sadly this usually leaves someone unable to come but hey ho.
I'm thinking sometime within the last two weeks in Jan.

What's PPIK karting like comapred to chequered flag in Guisely? I went to CF this weekend and whilst the staff were fun and friendly, and the karts decent the track was short, tight and no proper over taking oppertunities - you pretty much had to push people out the way. I've been to better indoor karting before, but tbh since doing outdoor tracks like thruxton karting I just don't think indoor is really worth it.

Not been to CF, but I genuinly rate PPIK as an indoor/corporate set up and I come from a fairly experienced karting background - It's also a fairly central place for people (I think so anyway)Went to PP a good few months ago and the staff didn't have a clue. In the pre race talk you couldn't understand anything the 'rude boi' was saying: "Don't do dis coz youz will gets banned innit".
Then they think it's a great idea to run onto the track just after a blind bend so you nearly hit them.
No use of blue flags at all.
No use of yellow flags to warn you of the idiots running around on the track.
If you want proper Karting, the best place is Tee-Side.

See I've done PPiK and CF an actually prefer CF. Think because it is right and twisty and difficult to overtake it makes it more of a challenge. It's a proper workout too on the arms as there's not much let up like the long straight at Pole Postion.
I just need to make sure I get a booster seat as I fall out of the kart at Pole position when going under the flyover...
