Let us know if this is something that you'd like to take part in or have any thoughts on the idea.

Idea is excellent, I'll try and make up the numbers on circuits close to me if anyone needs me but I'm too poor to compete in an 8 race series.

Only scores from 6 of those would count to final standings - to allow people to miss a few and still be in with a shout.

goddammit guys!!!

stop having cool kart events when i have no money!!!

i REALLY want to take part in this, and as i should be earning more now i might be able too...

2 questions though...

1. when will it start!?!
2. how much is it gonna cost???

if i can accomodate both, COUNT ME IN!!!!!

[dontlift]

Both questions that we need to sort out answers to, and as yet we cannot forcast the outcome (you like my political reply )

Hence the posts here, we need an idea of level of interest etc in order to guage both costs and when we can get running.

But rest assured everything will be done to keep costs to minimum.

Got any idea on the 8 circuits, and there geographical positions?

Any tips (especially how to get there)

and use your practice laps to practice - don't worry about racing all the other people out there.

Quick list would be Sutton (Leicestershire), Daytona (Milton Keynes), Buckmore (Kent), Shennington (Oxford), PFI (Lincs)

etc

[dontlift]

sorry to do this, but this is a meaningless post just to keep the thread on the first page as we are trying to guage opinion etc

[alunr]

Oh patrick - I can't believe you'd sink so low as to post nonsense to keep the topic up high

Oops - I've gone and done it myself now..

[smeagol]

Does look an excellent idea, would need to know about costs though as some of us are mega poor!! Also dates need to be sprted soon as my year calendar is already filling up.

[simonrockman]

I'm awed by the competition, but yes, interested.

Now would I, oops there i go again.....

[littlegearl]

yeah, i work most saturdays so would need to get the time off, so some noticed would be required...

it does sound an excellent idea though, and i REALLY want to take part... all comes down to funds though...

from the proposed list i've only had experience of daytona mk, but i can tell you the the chicane, corner at the end of the straight (before the right-handed hairpin) and first corner are all flat

[alunr]

We raced at Daytona MK on sunday night and I managed a 6th out of 23 drivers with the 4th fastest lap of the night at 1:11.390.

Fantastic circuit and lots of fun

I'd like to take part in as long as a race as possible (sunday night was 1 hour - 1 driver - ACE!) if you can factor that in Patrick

[alunr]

Anymore interest?

Lots of interest in the events and meetings version of this thread Alunr

[Simond001]

I'm up for this. Be good if we can use some of the more powerful karts. I play with a rotax at the mo, so would love to join in.
