1100m Karting Course, 50mph Thunder Karts

http://www.thruxtonkarting.co.uk/format_wdwegrandp...

We'd need a minimum of 15 people, but by the looks of things would be well worth a laugh...

Running time approximately three hours, so could probably find somewhere for a spot of tea or something afterwards...?

Details taken from their Website:

Plenty of track time, ultra competitive and thoroughly rewarding, our grand prix events are one of the most popular formats we run. The practice session gives enough time to learn the circuit in preparation for the first round of heats, heading up to the first corner 4 abreast approaching 50 mph, this is proper racing! If you don’t do well the first time then there’s always another heat to make up some places, Then a final awaits, which all drivers compete in. The top 3 receive trophies and the winner the all important champagne

Anyone else I have missed please add your names above...
Once I have ideas of monthly availability I will then look at specific dates.

Further note from RT/10Dave:
February is looking good at the moment I'm afraid... A few things have come up at home which are going to be keeping me rather busy til after Christmas, namely more planning permission being passed. The other Dave can't do January, so February looking likely at the moment.

Just added March as a further possibility...?
