It's very addictive this karting lark

If you go again there is a pic of the track looking down with a red racing line that can help guide you round It's on the website.

Glad you had a good time.

£25 for 1/2 hour is a bargain, this would normally cost £40, but George has got us a special deal.

George normally pms those that went the month before for first refusal and then it's down to the lottery

Must admit although it was slippy I was chuckling when I saw this Kart perched up high on the bank

Work commitments lead to me not being there again. I was all ready for a great night and a partner walked in just as I was leaving and I had to stay in the office.

Not particularly fast, but definitely the most satisfying nailing the drop hairpin drift. The karts weren't as warm last night, normally my **** is baking from the exhaust the minute I get in. No.10 is a quick kart if you can get it.

A bit disappointed with the results if I am honest

But, I suppose the marshals making me sit the wrong way for around 20-25 seconds didn't help much

Also, I am not too happy with the marshal (if you can call him that) in the pit lane, letting the Brentwood karting staff get away with shoving.

I will pay extra attention this coming month to the video in the briefing to see where it mentions no driving across the Green painted areas of the track, if it doesn't mention this, I will be making a complaint about the fool!

Being called into the pit lane really didn't help me at all ! Yes there was a little touching, but mainly for good or safe reasons.

On the whole, my kart felt like it was flying, but looking at the results does not look that great

Nate, I spoke to them on the night about this, also to the 'driver' concerned.

I think they got my message

Considering I went off three times I was quite happy. Although the Brentwood idiots didnt help anyone. I hope we dont see them or anyone else on with us in future.
