Very much liked Louie's 540i Touring too, looked a proper tool.
Cheers, sorry I didn't get it washed. I remember you buying yours, and it is as good as it looked in the add at the time. There were some nice motors, but I'm a sucker for an E30 touring, and Cotty's was a great example!

Don't put yourself down you must have started about mid pack each race. It was very difficult to pass with 2/3 karts in front all battling for position. I came up to corners with sometime 3 karts abreast, there is no way round that.

Because I used to race endurance events, going out for your second stint 2 hours in people are more spread out and its easier to pick people off one by one.

Let him, there was not much we could do to stop him.

What name was Graham racing under? As if he was racing under his PH name of S3_Graham that must have put him on the back row of the grid for race one.

Top day all round - many thanks to Big G for organising.

Experiencing that poor kart trying to carry my considerable lard reminds me why I rumble round in high power V8 motors. biggrin

I'm bruised (emotionally and physically) but feel fine today.

Still reeling from driving like a wuss though

I was in agony last night with my shoulders, I'd utterly ripped them to bits. I phoned up a mate, she's some kind of martial arts ninja, and she advised packing them out with ice for a while and Nurofen. Had an ice cold shower instead and today it's all been absolutely fine.

Keir will now be unbearable after being quickest in practise.

(Being that he's not karted a whole lot, only socially like me, I'd say that was sodding impressive. Don't tell him though)

Not wanting to big up myself (and everyone else) but the race before us saw a best time of 51 and a bit seconds (so someone said as we were waiting) which means that had anyone from our group been racing them, they'd have been at worst fighting for the win, anyone in the top 11 of our group would have utterly dominated. It was certainly a pacey afair.

Over winter maybe we should grab another track, maybe indoors? How's about Daytona, are they up for a January deal?

You misheard, it was c.50.4. Your point still stands though.
I think my fastest was about there and I was laughably off the pace

Isn't that Manchester. In fairness, the Docklands place you mentioned looks pretty good. 800+m tarmac indoor track.

Shouldn't whoever came last chose the next event?

Ski jumping?

Some silly cheap groupon deals to be had, I'd imagine a deal could be done on January.

Daytona is Milton Keynes, J14 M1, so fairly easy access

Are you big on ski jumping?

I need to get back into Snowboarding. I mince at that too.
