Posted on behalf of James Mansfield, and going out to all the Midlands scoob drivers:

"At - the Race Way, West Brom
On - 19th of April
cost - £120 per team for a 2 hour endurance,
needed - 8 teams
I would suggest that 8 teams of 4 people, would be great, but you can have between 3
and 6 in a team. The start time can be flexible, I was thinking some time
about 8 to 8-30 would be good as we can then go to the pub afterwards.

The track is 350 meters long, including a 100 ft tunnel and cross over.
They are sending maps etc...

We could do with people letting us know asap as I have to confirm the
reservation by next wednesday 4th. Each team needs to send a deposit of £60
asap.

James"

(James. I've edited your dodgy spolling mistales... )

Before we release contact details, please post a reply to register your interest. Once that has been guaged we'll see if it's a go. Keep an eye on this thread...

Regards,
Squizz.

For anybody thinking about doing this, it's BRILL. I did the Endurance race last year for Cancer Research, and had the time of my life (nearly as much fun as the Scoob )

Count me in Squizz, but only if there are enough people....

Pub-wise, by the RaceWay, hmmm, bit of a SH1thole to be honest. The whole immediate surrounding area too.
At J1 roundabout, if we head East towards Dudley, 2 roundabouts later, there's a pub called the Ridgeacre. Nice big car park, nice area too - I live there

However, if we head West, you'll be going into Handsworth - in that case, to quote the vicar in 'Blazing Saddles', "You're on your own....."

South of J1, Smethwick - same deal.

The Ridgeacre is a Brewers Fayre - so not bad food too.

What do you all think?

Dan

As I understand it, you're called a fair few other things...

Hmmm, number aren't good, even so...

Maybe we'll have to postpone and do something more local with fewer numbers.

The "March Hare Inn" has got a great outdoor track.

Can't make the 19th.
The March Hare track is OK, a bit short and not that good for overtaking.
Lots of sideways action in the bottom corner.

Squizz,

sounds very interesting - although last time i went indoor carting (Reading) - for some reason my power-to-weight ratio was not as good as the rest?

Are there any lardy-carts (and three wheeled ones for Harj)

mb

p.s.

And maybe some hump-back bridges for Schuey!
