Patrick,

Could you downgrade me to a maybe please. I've got to shake the Ginetta down before April, and 28th at Bedford is looking like the best date. I'll keep my eyes on the test / track day calendars when they come up, and see if there is something closer to home.

I suppose that there is always Wednesday mornings at Mallory.

Wednesday mornings at mallory make for excellent shakedone sessions (let me know if you are going and want a hand in the paddock as I only live 10 mins down the road)

You would be more than welcome, BUT NO TAKING THE PISS

Well quick count gives us 3-7 people.

And I cant book a circuit based on that so looks like no dice guys.

Oh well was worth a try.

Gutted.

Pat
As there is only a handful what about running a individual race ie. 40 min single person race with 8 karts on track?

Nobody will be able to get out the karts after, but it would be a good race!!!!

We could do, alternative to that is sprints - heats and finals - lots of short races with reverse order grids etc+

I really really want to go!

I'll pay for everyone if it helps!

No not really

Sound like we have the makings of an event now oggs, keep me posted on the other 4, as I can drag quite a few in from elsewhere

[mrflibbles]

Any more news on this?

Im a definite, and may have an extra 1 or 2 (letting me know asap, depending on their work commitments)

Are you still thinking of running a PH karting championship? The idea was suggested around April/May time, but then was put on hold.

Perhaps this could be round 1, if its a championship for PH'ers all over the country a lot more people will be up for it.

Tim.

Would love too Tim, but you can see how difficult it is getting a small number of people for 1 event let along a consistent set for a dozen events

Fair enough looks like I'll just have to win in a smaller race again

lets build some competition spirit up

I am at the circuit most weekends tim, you will have to pop up and get a few laps in on the 390

[Tim2100]

I keep meaning to but don't fancy it at the moment - Too cold!!!

Besides I've got to show you my new toy!

Just an update Patrick,
