Anyone fancy this?

1100m Karting Course, 50mph Thunder Karts

http://www.thruxtonkarting.co.uk/format_wdwegrandp...

We'd need a minimum of 15 people, but by the looks of things would be well worth a laugh...

Running time approximately three hours, so could probably find somewhere for a spot of tea or something afterwards...?

Details taken from their Website:

Plenty of track time, ultra competitive and thoroughly rewarding, our grand prix events are one of the most popular formats we run. The practice session gives enough time to learn the circuit in preparation for the first round of heats, heading up to the first corner 4 abreast approaching 50 mph, this is proper racing! If you don’t do well the first time then there’s always another heat to make up some places, Then a final awaits, which all drivers compete in. The top 3 receive trophies and the winner the all important champagne

FORMAT
Briefing session
Helmet and race suit fitting
8 minute practice
2 x 8 lap heats
1 x 12 lap final

Presentation and trophies

Minimum of 15 payments for exclusivity.
Suitable for large or small groups – groups over 15 are split into 2 groups and run the following format

8 minutes practice group 1
8 minutes practice group 2
Group 1 heat 1 – 8 laps
Group 2 heat 1 – 8 laps
Group 1 heat 2 – 8 laps
Group 2 heat 2 – 8 laps
(Points are scored in all the heats to decide driver order for each final)
A final - 12 laps
B final - 12 laps

Group size and duration (approx)

My initial post was really aimed at being something for the UK Viper Club to do as a group to be honest mate, sorry. If we get stuck for numbers, which is probably unlikely considering the friends & family angle, I will let you know.

Thankyou for your interest though.

The headers will be in Surrey this evening, sorry Tony, I forgot to leave them with Baz on the Dunsfold weekend, I'm taking them up to Richard's this evening (They are in the van ready to go).
I'm sure Baz & Richard will meet up pretty soon over the next couple of weeks so they will make their way north.

No problem at all Dave as I will probably just fit the exhausts for now and think about the headers over winter.
