Anyone up for some karting?

[PorkRind]

Would be interested in any future karting @ cheddar...

I'm not far from Haynes and Cheddar so would be interested in any future events like this please?

Cheddar kart track has shut down. Haynes is still open.

Ah, well that simplifies that decision then! Haynes it is... Now when's everyone free?

When it is dry!

Trust me, i have driven Thruxton kart circuit (they hit 60mph) in the wet and it ruins a good day

Did wet karting on slicks last year on a stag do. It was a perfect example of why a welded (or totally absent) diff can be tricky - plough on understeer followed by the most hilarious levels of oversteer. Quite fun overall.

Pah, used to kart quite a bit with some guys from worked, spread of times around Thruxton in the dry was under a second, in the wet it was about 10 seconds.

Wasn't the fastest guys in the dry who were leading the pack in the wet either. Great fun.

How about we pick an arrive and drive slot at Haynes one weekend in May and just see who turns up?

If this is still being considering I'm based 15minutes from Haynes so will come along

Definitely still being considered by me...

I think the chances of us getting a dozen people together to all book a PH grand prix on a particular day are minimal, but I'd certainly be up for picking a day that two or three of us are free for an arrive and drive session then just see who else turns up. ONly about half an hour away from Haynes, so it works for me.
