Right, lets sort something out.

Recommend a circuit and a date. Weekend always prefered. I sh9ould be good for anytime in August and latter half of July.

And where within about an hour or so drive is fine for me, mild prefrence for the twin engined or more powerfull karts on a larger track. But im happy to fit round where ever.

Any circuit within a sensible drive of Coventry. Liked the last one up near Leics/M1. But if WM is good, then that'll do.

Dates? Weekend only, but half of July and August already booked up, so shortlist a few and if I can make it I will.

Cheers,

M.

I think there is one in Leamington Spa that I've been to, or was it Warwick, somewhere around that area! It was a blur to me, I was following people in vastly inferior cars to mine!

I'm organising a race at Sutton Circuit in Leicestershire on Sunday 29th of June, in the afternoon. There are still a few spaces left so drop me an email me if you're interested. Cost is £40 cash payable on the day for 10 minutes qualifying and two 15 minute sprint races (race 2 starts in the reverse finishing order of race 1). Trophies for 1st, 2nd and 3rd. www.suttoncircuit.co.uk

Cool. A promising list of takers and some new names in there.

I'll happily try and book Whilton again but the problem was popularity last time:-

Not good news peeps. The 5th April is not available.

It gets worse, as so many dates were taken up, I asked to see what was CURRENTLY available and got these:- 26/5 anytime, 11/5 @ 1600, 14/6 anytime, 15/6 @ 1600, then it goes into August! - 8/2. Wah! redface

Looks like this place may be too popular.

I think what should be done is try another way of doing this and get a list of several dates people can attend and then choose a circuits that fit on those dates and book. We could have a rolling-roll-call of people interested in Karting and when if you like.
Observe the above dates. Without checking (and so far short of numbers to book) I'll suggest a provisional date of 2nd August. State who can make that.

1) Me!

Might be worth agreeing to a backup track. I'm up for doing Sutton again. They were nice and accomodating on our ever-increasing numbers and made booking easy NB to Sutton: this is why we went (hint)! smile Or maybe Jack had something to do with that, but less of the poaching! tongue out

Yes thats the place, you're right it is crap but cheap. I remember there was a big bump in the middle of the circuit and it began to get tiresome and my pace dropped off because it was jarring my spine badly and I started feeling sick. The owner was impressed because I was the most consistant lapper of everyone in my group through the 80 laps, I was lapping +/-0.2 secs off my previous lap.
