Carting - lets settle the bragging rights

[planetdave]

Right then you bunch of wusses - I am throwing down the gauntlet.

I am proposing that we go to Three Sisters carting track to do a 'Grand Prix'.


Coming last will, of course, make you the laughing stock - so start polishing up your excuses.

It is easyest to get the track on a weeknight so we are looking for a date when it goes dark @ 20.00ish.

If there are sufficient interested I will organise it.



Are you chicken or what?

www.aintree-racing-drivers-school.co.uk

I will flesh this out further soon.

To do a weekday we need light till 20.00 so that looks about just after the clocks go forward.

You would need to get to the venue by 17.30 at the latest.

At the moment I need to hold back till I have enough interest to be able to book a slot.

More volunteers for humiliation please

[planetdave]

I am at the upper limit for height and the bruising has to be seen to be believed.

So thats a yes.

[planetdave]

OK boys and girls - time to get serious.

I am thinking that we do a

'Grand Prix +'

That is - 5 minutes practice

3 times 6 miutes heats/person.

An A and a B final - 7 minutes

ie the top drivers in the A final determined by the number of points you get in the heats.

In the heats you do standing starts and grid positions are - 1 you start near the front, 1 near the middle and 1 near the back.

There is an approx height limit of 6'4 or 5" and a size limit of 'will you squeeze in there mate?' please be realistic

The price is £50.

I will need a deposit of £10/person as soon as I get a firm date.

Ideally we should have 20-30 folk to make a good showing - but we need an absolute minimum of 10.

I have a few dates here - the nearest feasible being

Friday May 7th. (17.30)

You would need to get to the track by 17.30 AT THE VERY LATEST or we will run out of daylight.


Or

Bank Holiday Monday 31st May (16.30)


Suits/helmets/gloves are supplied (your own are welcome).

Which date do you want? I am looking to book this by next weekend so I need 15 definates (to allow for drop-outs) by Sat 26 March.

Name the date, people.

Jess = big girls blouse *cluck cluck*

PWIG - did you really edit that?

And stop being so lippy you wearer of cloth caps.

[planetdave]

I will post payment details soon - C'mon people, tell me your date preference (early favourite is the Bank Holiday).

[planetdave]

Hello everyone!

I need a bit more of a positive responce or this is going to slip away. A lot of you were quite interested early on but now we have to make it concrete.

Those two dates I posted up will go if I dont get it sorted pronto.

I'm not willing to put a deposit down on this and then lose the money from lack of interest.
