depends if we go for individual events or an endurance event. if individual events, we'd only need 30 people to get a track to ourselves. where as the endurance we'd need about 12 teams i think. i'll see what i can do.

when i went on sat there was 17 karts on track and that was really too many. the slow people caused most of the problems

Bayford in November ( Please Rain !!!) On Slicks is my dreams come true

If Phil has the Kent mob interested may be best to check with Buckmore park as well , Bit more on there patch than RH , But RH Is rather special

I fully agree, Locally Rye House is the track to go to, though i haven't driven there since they have modified Stadium corner.

Buckmore is also very good, and if involving the Kent boys then could also be a good choice.

At the end of the day I will probably be there whatever track is picked, though like Phil i would not be to keen on an indoor circuit like Rayleigh, too small and narrow.
