Surrey Run...?
Discussion
Following our regional meet last night it came to my attention that Surrey region has a karting event booked for the afternoon of the 18th at Sandown.
As most people I spoke to would like to participate in both events it was suggested that I 'test' the water as to the possibility of maybe meeting in the morning at Chessington, then having a run out and some lunch proceeded by a convoy to Sandown for those who are interested.
If anyone would like to do this either e-mail me through my profile or call me - my numbers in the Sprint (if you've actually got this months....) under Surrey.
Thanks

sixspeed,
The karting is a heat event not endurance so I don't think exhaustion will be a problem and if we 'rest up' at lunch should be no problem, off hand I don't have the karting times etc. as one of the other surrey members has organised it but it is in the afternoon which usually means about 2ish.
A lot of people are keen to do both (me included) I'll e-mail you off post and we can setup the details between us.
Should be a good day.

Following Andy's message to test the water re the karting on Sunday 18 August I can elaborate further as I am the organiser.
The event is at Daytona, Sandown Park racecourse. It's a one hour Ironman event..all karts on the track at the same time!
The format is approx. 10 mins practice, 5 mins qualifying and three races of up to approx 15 minutes. (The fastest racers in the first race go to the back of the grid in the second race !).
I have reserved the 900m (the longest) track and we will be using the new Prokarts (delivered last month - so they should be run in...and hopefully there won't be any duds).
The event will take place if 8 or more drivers send me a cheque - but note there is now a maximum of 20 places.
We need to be there at 3:30pm for registration ready for a 4pm prompt start.
Places will be booked on a first come first served basis, so please send me a deposit cheque made out to Daytona for £25 to secure your place on the grid. The balance can be paid on the day. When I have at least 8 cheques I will forward them to Daytona to secure the booking and at that point they will be non-refundable.
I received a call from Daytona yesterday letting me know that another party is interested in taking the reservation. As I have only 2 cheques so far I will have to give way and cancel the meeting unless I receive at least 6 cheques by Thursday 1 August, so
I would be grateful if you would let me know by email if you are sending me a cheque but please note that only a cheque in my hand will secure your place.
In the meantime please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any queries.
