I'm thinking of going Karting for my birthday in june and after looking at their site they look quite reasonable prices for what they are, anyone had any experience of them to say whether they are good or bad?

Any input appreciated,

Cheers,

Tom.

Thanks for the reply, all sounds ok then.
Had an email back from them saying own helmets are fine too so no sweaty previously used ones which is a bonus smile

Anyone else got anything to say about them?

Been a few times with them, and they're certainly one of the better places I've been to.

The guys there are a little less anal than some places can be and let you get on with having some fun.

You wont go wrong with using them!

Haha, is that saying you want to join up?

Depending on how many people say they want to come from whom I've invited I may throw it open to a few of you guys wink

Ok bit of a shameless bump, All of my friends seem to be being a little bit scensoredt so I don't have the required number of people to go, I need a minimum of 8 so if anyone fancies coming along let me know! Currently including myself I have 4 people willing to go.

Thinking of going the 11th of june but could be flexible depending on how booked they are etc, it's £50 per head and you can use your own helmets if you have them. For your money you get half an hour race with practice and qually beforehand. driving

First come, first served and all that.

It does say the wheels 30 indivdual indurance so in answer to your question basically yes, just based on individual finishing not teams or anything smile

It is yes, and I was thinking midday or shortly after, although at present it doesn't seem like i'm going to have anywhere near enough drivers!
