Ah crap. I appear to have been here a whole year longer than I thought..

Barasti I gather is undergoing refurbishment at the moment and although is technically my local I'm more often found in Riyadh or Jeddah, (neither of which as terribly good for a PH style knees up).

Karting. Hmm, I'd be up for that. My power to weight ratio on the kart should be somewhat improved on the last time..

Tyres went off. ...also didn't have DRS. Anyone else would have struggled to break 2 mins!

Sent you an email eager...are you in the office?

Jeez! 3 Years!

The karts aren't too bad there to be honest, quite a few have been rebuilt lately I believe.

I'm in the Marina and can be regularly found with Mrs T in Speakeasy's, Girders, Rosso, Nell Gwynnes, Chinwaggery or Pier 7.

My youngest son and I go Karting quite regularly (he's nearly 15) and even though I know it's wrong - I take great delight in shoving him in the gravel trap

All 3 of us have a soft spot for American Muscle Cars which is why I'm currently driving a ZL1.

Speakeasy's Paul, for shame.

Re: karting, if a little travel is ok I hear Al Ain raceway do a full grand prix [15mins quali, 2 x 20min heats, 1 x final] for 300chips per person. Also all karts are ballasted so the driver/kart total weights are equal so noone can moan.

That said, I'd be up for an arrive and drive at the Kartdrome followed by the Crown & Anchor.

Now that is my sort of carting! I'm in provided the rest of you drive round with another person strapped to the car to equal the weight out.

Chilli - you don't need to ballast up!

This whole weight thing came up last time, someone (Harris?) posted some data about how much difference it actually makes, was less than you'd think (but obviously just enough to be the reason that featherweight Asterix was quicker than me).

[Asterix]

Pffff!

Anyway, I've heard good things about the Al Ain set up. Wouldn't mind giving it a try at some point.

[Psychobert]

Is there a way of getting there without going around 100,00 bloody roundabouts. I'm told Al Ain itself is quite nice, but I've been around it several times and lost hope. Its like an Arabic Milton Keynes without any of the latter's redeeming features..

ETA - What am I saying? MFK doesn't have any redeeming features.. I've been here too long. :sigh:

[dxbtiger]

Al Ain is a schlep, solid hour and a half on anti ticket cruise control.

Take the 2nd exit to the town center and it is only 12 roundabouts.

Going there tomorrow morning, can't wait.
