My annual start karting post!
Discussion
Every bloody year I think 'I really would like to do more karting' and every year I do the same - nothing.
Apart from the odd karting event I/others organise I don't do much karting at all. And yet I love it. 2 of my non petrolhead mates now do karting in the Club 72 series at Buckmore and piss me off with all their chat/enthusiasm about it
..
So, winter series needed in the South East ideally. I need a series to make me go and allow me to plan the karting without it getting hijacked by other social engagements.

isnt buckmore/lydd/bayford meadows south east?
Buckmore will have arrive and drive champs over the winter, Lakeside karting just over the water might, Rye's organised leagues are strong.
Covkartsport has a couple of rounds left this year at Red Lodge.
If you've done ownerdriver before you could also just hire a kart at Rye IKR, Lydd IKR. You dont need an MSA license and the costs are comparable to a club100 round.
I'm not too fussed where the circuits are but the SE would be better obviously. I'd like my own kart but one step at a time...Buckmore will have arrive and drive champs over the winter, Lakeside karting just over the water might, Rye's organised leagues are strong.

I may just call them and ask them what they have that could suit rather than ploughing through lengthy and complex websites

Camberley has a race this Saturday I think. If you were interested in the owner/driver aspect it may be good to go and have a look.
They have a winter series too.
If you were interested you'd need to pass your ARKS test (although clubs run non licenced practice sessions for non licenced), get a licence and race as a novice. As well as buying a kart obviously (or rent - Attaq motorsport attend there and can help - chat to them?). There's still a bit of time to get some seat time.
Not sure on arrive and drive.
I'd need a kart first and judging by the visit I made on that Saturday, a massive van too! They have a winter series too.
