I did an event the end of last year at Rye House which was 15 mins prac/qualifying and a 40 min race. I have done numerous go kart events in the past and obviously enjoy them, but after 55mins of almost continuos racing I was beginning to lose the will to live and others were dropping out because they were cream crackered.
Anyway unless you are confidently superfit. I`d recommend pairing up.
So if theirs anybody on the list whose middle name is schumacher or Hamilton I`am looking for a race buddie

Hi supercue I`am fine with that but above it says £100 individual or £50 a pair I`m in either way.
But it would be nice to know for sure either way.
Are you taking the chavalier round then.

DOUBLE EVENT BOOKING WARNING......

Just a gentle hint to some that of you are booked as a support car for Scoobiebeck's wedding - then you CAN'T be at BOTH events.... as her wedding is ALSO the 20th June..........

I would have gone to the Karting (especially as it's so near to me) to take lots of photos, but Scoobiebeck's request was first....

I also guess that as Karting is so cream crackering, that those who were planning to go to the reception might not have the energy after this....

Despites it's wicked lack of grip errrrr No!

I'm sure Wozza will clarify shortly but normally we draw pairs on the day and some are more even than others lol

Much as I hate to agree with Mr Que, but to make things fair we normally divide between, heavies and lightweights, and then draw partners.
(If you have not done an ESC kart event before you'll be surprised at how heavy you have to be to be an ESC heavy!!)

I am also booked for Scoobibeck's wedding as one of the lead cars so unfortunately I will have to miss the karting
So Pinseeker & brother can be removed from the list

On the day all names are put in to a hat - Heavy weights/light weights this is a fair way of picking teams + it also gives people a chance to get to know each other, it's a great way of breaking the ice

ATTENTION

Due to other people's commitments I'll look in to changing the date for this event, I don't want anyone to miss out on this event as this in my eyes is one of the beat social & banter events of the year.
