I think it was ultimately down to the price, Lakeside is a great circuit, but a tad expensive

Chaps,

As mentioned, there wasn't enough interest to get a mornings' racing get going

HOWEVER, what has been discussed is for us to go up to Lakeside on a Thursday evening during the Summer (instead of the H/H meet) and have a go then. Hopefully, this will work out cheaper. Those not wishing to race can always come along and spectate if they wish

Your thoughts purlease

I don't think Rhybeck can wait that long.

I am surprised he didn't buy a kart when we were at the Autosport show.
We spent ages at the kart section.

I think the lack of interest may have been due to it being so soon after Xmas?

I would def. like to go karting again before the summer, maybe Mar or Apr? Also mid week evenings would probably be better? Doesn't then clash with work (or golf!)
