karting/drinking

[shirt]

just a couple of sweaty weeks to get through and then winter is here and it's playtime! about time we had a good scrap on the kart track then retire to a bar to invent ever more elaborate excuses for our performances

has anyone been to the emirates kart zone and are the karts/track any good? deal on at the mo here:

otherwise when do the kartdrome refresh their gear for winter?

thinking early october so that people can put it firmly in their diary to avoid the usual high dropout rate [chilli/6thgear i'm looking at you ]. thurs/fri preferred but not the night before a trackday.

[shirt]

no idea. don't wanna go there if it's kids karts and a crap track.

i thought the kart drome refurbed their karts each winter?

[shirt]

i have asked on the kart forum when/if the kartdrome refresh their machines for winter. if not then i reckon it's only fair for us fatties to get first pick

as for dates shout up what you can and can't do during october and suggestions for a suitable drinking establishment.

So that is what he has bought is it.

that is one thing he's bought, there may be one or two offers in for others. i have no idea what the plan for the clio is. i would like to know what is being pedalled before the first race day at least.

[shirt]

doesn't seem the 18th is that popular.

i'm at the kartdrome monday night with some colleagues if anyone fancies a blat.

[shirt]

we'll keep to the 18th, and then look to organise a pre-xmas booze up.

i'm still going for a couple of races tonight if anyone fancies it. drop me a pm or email as i still don't have my phone back.

[shirt]

PS - will be headed up straight from work, getting there around 6pm.

[shirt]

as above, lets stick to the 18th, say 7:30 meet at the kartdrome? if we can firm up a list a few days prior i can look at booking us onto a session. one of the guys i play footy with works there and said he can sort us out with decent karts if we give him advance notice.

10 so far an i may be bringing a couple more. feel free to extend the invite to mates/colleagues.


we can't have a session to ourselves unless we book a corporate event which is expensive. last time we all managed to get on the same session so shouldn't be an issue really. let's just keep an eye on young guns swinging helmets!

how's 7pm sound for everyone? then have a few shandies at the crown and lion after and see how it goes from there.

also who is driving as taxis from the kartdrome to byblos will need to be booked in advance.

[shirt]

get the taxi to dubai autodrome/motor city. go past the shops and turn left at spinneys.
