Karting in Warrington
#1
Those of you who've already read the "FAO of the Northern Lot!" thread will already have an idea about this, but for those who haven't - I'm planning a Go-Karting Grand Prix in Warrington for January. Prices are £34 a head! The dates are as follows:
Saturday January 12th or Sunday Jan 13th at either the 1pm or 6pm slots (both free at the moment), there is also the possibility for the weekend after as well (but only on the Saturday @ 6pm).
Give me a shout with which dates are better as soon as please - need to book ASAP!!!
If your definately coming whichever the date then just mail me.
Cheers
Andy

I'll have a word with Warrington about payment options, don't see any reason why a credit card should be a problem.
Still need a lot more interest - come on you guys (especially those from the other thread)!!!

AndyMan -
You may want to check out the setup at this karting circuit - my g/f is going there for her xmas work day, and they've been told that there is no overtaking allowed ! ( ??? ) Something to do with the size of the circuit.
Let me know the name of the place, as I'll be there end of next week, I can confirm this. If we're actually allowed to race, I may well be interested.

I've been to Warrington a few times before and while there's a strict no overtaking on "arrive and drive" events, there's never been a restriction on Grand Prix ones!
This applies to both the Main Circuit and the Standard one next door as I've had a go on both.
What sort of event / track is she going on? (Is it a women only race, so it could be a special rule they have to keep the Kart's from getting totally wasted - he, he : could be in for some jip for that comment
Let me know anyway - Cheers

Cheek !
It's her work do, so while they'll all probably drive like old women, strictly speaking it's a mixed-gender race day. I expect because they're all novices, they've been given the 'no-overtaking' rule.

Right - more delay's in organising this, I'm still fighting the flu and don't seem to be winning as yet!
I'm still short on numbers 10+ out at the mo and that's minimum! If the original lot from the other thread are reading can they say whether they're still interested as I've got no e-mail's from any yet:
teen_machine; adge; S600BY;
(and ChrisB if you can make the new dates).
But still need more interest before I can make progress!!!

Yep, know all about the 3rd Feb (I'm going). Got you down now, but still several short!
Come on people (it wasn't this hard for Rich to get his Well Lane date scheduled) and this is actual driving, although not in your scooby - but you could pretend!!!

Andy,
Are we allowed mixed gender on this or not? If yes then put me down for 2 places. If not then I'll have to have a word with she who must be obeyed and get back to you...

Andy - I'm up for this one - let me know how & when to pay.
If we get the standard track - its a bit narrow, and not that easy to overtake on - but it is definately allowed - but squeezing people out may get you a red flag (or 2!)
The main track is good fun, its wider, and there's an up & over section, and a banked corner - a la carousel!!!
Cheers
Steve

I'll be up for it. the 1pm slot suits me better, as I'll be driving down from Cumbria. I'll bring one with me and another couple of mates who live in Manchester may be interested too.

Nice one guys, getting there now - do some totalling up and get some confirmations going in the next day or so.
No problems with the mixed gender Andy, don't know how many other of the fairer sex will be there though (she may feel a bit lonesome, think I've got one or two coming - need to confirm!).
Later all,
Andy

Right all!
All the people who've mailed or said they were definate have got mail on the provisional date. No need to get back to me straight away as I've got a couple of things to sort out and then I'll have some firm numbers (and know how many to panic about being short of)!
If your reading this, want to come and haven't got a mail message from me (and your mail account is working alright), then give me a mail either on the profile e-mail or on andy_wils@lineone.net
I'll be in touch over the weekend
Cheers

All sorted now! Sorry for the delay again.
Need some confirmations now, everyone will have e-mail who's already mailed me, but for those who haven't yet, will you please let me know (by e-mail).
It's all booked for Saturday 12th Jan and when you drop me a mail message to confirm, I'll tell you the details. Let me know if you need instructions on how to get there!

but I have dark hair
hmm, now where did I put her home number down???
Bob
ps I got the receipt through, it says £34 part balance paid, I'm hoping the part refers to me being part of a group and not that I have to stump up a shed load more cash

I thougt I might aswell be the first with the " I'm just about to set off" so....I'm just about to set off See you guys there!
I had arranged to take my mini moto but unfortunately I blew the clutch up and the replacement hasn't turned up yet, I was assured on Monday that I'd have it within 2 - 3 days.....so it's a no show for the bike again, I will get it to a meet one day I promise!
