it's not too bad, about 45 minutes from me and I'm about 20 Minutes from Sanddown so only around an hour and it seems a much nicer track.
I'll stick with Sandown - 10 min on MBK or 5 min in Chim!

Shall we go for this one?
Yep I can squeeze that in between other races.

I must be a looser - I have not got a GREEN Pistonfest tag next to my name!

I'm sure he will be along in no time to put his name down, in the meantime I can get in contact with sandown to check out the date and make sure its available.

Although this time I would like to actually do the reverse grid on the second race that we were suppose to do!

I like reverse grid - you should see my video from race yesterday from the BACK!!

Have you hosted the video? If so pop the URL on here so I can view it!

I *should* be a little better in the dry at karting as I wont be attempted to see how sideways I could get the kart around corners, however I did have immense fun which is what its all about.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?doc

Car straight out of the box, 100kg heavier and still down on power (not right chokes in it yet – sorting before next race – they had to order them), and a longer final drive than the other Fully modded 6’s. Started at the back as not sure of the brakes – problems in practice setting the bias (as no time to Test). (Gridded 4th).

Over took all up to Chap in 3rd in 12 laps – race was shortened by 3 - 4 laps – so I think I would have had the Griff too (150 – 200 bhp more!).

The 2 in front were to far ahead (spreads out so much in that time if coming through from so far back).

Got fastest lap of the race though

rev counter is moving VER Y fast out of the hair pin as in 1stand giving it 7+k revs.

round Gerards the back is constantly loosing grip as you rty to get as much pwer down as posible.

No the issue is we have an AP twin plate with sintered pads - knife like bite point and a longish final drive - going to take some practice and I expect to loose some places of the start with it (shorter final drive will help a bit - and give even better acceleration).

Roll on Brands.

Has to be Sanddown - we all know the track and it is a good one.

Buckmore and Thruxton are much more of a trek for alot more people.

Not really THAMES VALLEY & SURREY!

Right, apparently 52.50 was their 'winter' rate and £60 is as low as they can go per person.
MAKE IT SO.....
