PH MIDLANDS PRO KART ENDURANCE RACE
Discussion
After the successful Lincs Hoon meet and drive at the weekend we have decided to make our next meet bigger and better!!!
So we have the UK’s (possibly Europe’s) most loved pro kart GP track on our region and one of the PH’ers knows the owner therefore we get discounted rates for hiring the whole thing (including the bars and restaurants on site)
60-70mph (est) twin engined karts on an endurance race, we need to make teams for each kart to run the endurance race of 100 laps on the full 1200 meter circuit.
After the teams race (teams can be as many people per kart as you wish) we will have a hog roast at the newly built bar and then a few beers (or soft drinks) before we head off home. We need about 80-100 people for this (the hog roast will be enough for 100 people on its own) so everyone from across UK is more than welcome to join the fun, even if they are spectating the fun from the stands overlooking the famous PFI GP track and moving on next door for food later.
If you have never been to PFI and you’re a petrolhead then you need to go at least once, it is a pretty special place.
If you have never experience true pro karts (twin 4 stroke Honda engined racing go karts) then no matter what you drive you should come along and experience the ultimate in F1 Karting.
KD has already put a deposit down for us all for Friday the 18th of august.
Prices for the event
Normal fees for the event are £200+vat per kart for the endurance race (100 laps)
Now the idea is we get into teams cos after 20 laps you will be in need of a BIG rest in these things and a fresh jockey will win the race for your team, if you want to do it all on your own your more than welcome though.
We have “mates rates” for the event curtesy of KD at 140+vat per kart so say 165inc for each kart thats 55 pound per person if there is 3 people in a team (30 laps you will be in need of a BIG rest I assure you)and then about 8 pound each for the hog roast (as long as we get enough people)
3-4 people per team would be ideal

so the plan is arrive at 6pm and for the first hour will be practice runs for people who have never been in a pro kart before with tutorial to make sure you make the most of your track weapon. Then after everyone knows how their supped up kart handles/drives and has had a go on the track we can start the endurance race.
There is about 3 football pitches of secure parking inside the venue (and it will all be ours apart from the racing teams leaving as we are hiring the whole place)
PFI is the UK's No.1 karting circuit and the favourite of todays UK Go Kart GP drivers, if you have been karting and enjoy it but not had a chance to drive the twin engined pro karts or had the chance to drive the PFI circuit then this is a must for any petrolhead.
There is no limit to the amount of people per team but I suspect there will be a limit on the number of karts available (ill say 30 but I’m yet to get that confirmed) would be good to get everyone who was at the Lincs Hoon together again for this and also some of the starkhomes crowd too (BG and co, you know who you are) the track is in notts afterall
Practice laps and qualifiying runs start from 6:00 and will be roughly 30 mins.
I know there is already a lot of people who said they are coming to this from speaking about it in passing at the weekend, post below if your up for the fun

we already have about 15 karts racing, max is 20, it is advisable to get into teams though as 20 laps in a twin engined formula 1 pro kart will leave you needing a good hour or so break, so say 3-4 people per team.
there will also be some mighty fine motors in attendance too, if you want to just come and watch then have a drink at the bar later for the trophy and champaign hand out you are more than welcome.
only a few spaces left though guys, if you want to get involved post on the link above.
thanks

Gary,
A little suggestion mate.
As there can be around 70 people at the track all wearing helmets and gloves etc..... What we did was make big targets to stick on peoples backs with their nick name and target roundals, this is so you can tell who your racing and tell your mates from the others......

Thats a cracking idea. If not the roundels then definately our nicknames.
