But yet again OMFG!! What a driving experience....
No steering. Couldn't see for mud on the visor. Think I managed 2 clean laps. Still managed a 4th out of 15 karts. And more important I beat my two French colleges!! 


Most people on here don't call it turning up early - they call it a 'sneaky little practise' don't you boys

Scott, could you PM me your mobile number please.

There is quite a high possibility that this may be postponed due to the weather. I'll ring LKR Monday morning and find out and will then phone/text all group leaders to let you know either way.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, i don't mind racing in the snow

Rather than pospone it we should just end the championship now with the positions as they are and just use the payments for the 1st rnd next year

Don`t worry Scott I`ve convinced Budgie that hammering pop rivets into his tyres will work like studded snow tyres

2 words to describe tonight - Fookin' Mental!

Snow karting on slicks!

What a laugh.

Well done to all that made it and to Scott for taking the title for the ESC.

Sounds and looks like it was great fun. Gutted I did`nt make it. Started snowing up my way about 4.30pm and it just did`nt make sense to try and drive 110 mile round trip for 1/2 hour karting with the risk of getting stuck out for the night.
Well done Scott for winning.
Looking forward to seeing the times and results.

Really did'nt think i enjoyed it last night but as i thored out last night and during today i kept chuckling to myself about all my incedents

Was abit gutted tho it would of been nice if it was dry then me and budgie could of had a proper ding dong till the end last night was more luck than judgement

Enough of the nicety's

I BEAT BUDGIE

just want to say get well soon to darcy (Bill's 4yr old daughter) who got rushed to hospital with suspected meningjitus (sp) just as he was getting ready to leave with for lakeside, they kept her in over night and think she has HSP and she's still pretty poorly and got to go back for more test's, hopefully she will be ok, so thinking of you and get well soon doodle's
