Date: Wednesday 30th August

Venue: Raceland Karting Centre in Edinburgh

Format: Two hour non stop (!!) endurance event with 30 minute practise session beforehand. After 45 minutes, a fuelling window of 15 minutes becomes available, before which all drivers must have driven at least once. All drivers must drive at least once after the re-fuelling.

Teams: Minimum 3 people, maximum 4 people. Cost £140 per team (or £35 each for a team of 4, £47 each for a team of 3).

Prizes: Awarded to top three teams

Experience: No previous experience required

Who: Anyone can attend! The event is being co-organised with the Scottish Elises group, so you don't need to be a member of any club.

To even things up, a minimum average driver weight will be imposed of about 80Kg (to be confirmed), meaning you can't field a team of super lightweight karting experts (aka Elise drivers).

You can bring along as many friends & colleagues as you like to help make up your teams, but places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come first served basis (deposit required).

Please reply directly if you have any more questions.

Soundes like a good idea to me. Should be able to get a team of 3 if thats ok.

To get the very best from the Kart you must use 100ron petrol and do a ECU reset with a select monitor before the qualifying lap. This info came from a very well known john menzies top shelf mag.......

I hope that the karts are 4WD ??!!

...only kidding....

Count me in too, probably a team of 3.

John - let us know a start time when you know it. Also - when/who/where/how-much for the deposit

Martin - John had said it would be twin-engined pro karts so I guess that it is still the case.

Ta,
Swa

Yes,

we will be using the twin engined pro-karts

Start time hasn't been confirmed yet, but most likely in the evening, starting about 6pm.

I'll post more details on deposits etc later, but I'll be collecting them for the SIDC/Scoobynet/22B community.

dumpsonscoobs

I've now got the final details for this event, taking place at Raceland karts in Edinburgh.

6pm to about 10pm for a two hour endurance race, with 30 minutes practice. This will be on the outdoor track using twin engined pro-karts

Teams of 3 or 4 people at a cost of £140 per team (£35 each for a team of 4). You can enter on your own, and we'll sort out a team for you. There will be a minimum average weight per team, to make sure things are nice and even!

A deposit of £20 per person is required asap to confirm your place, as places are very limited.

Please e-mail me and I'll tell you where to send the cheque(s) to, and add you (and your friends and colleagues) to the list of attendees.

RichS

Raceland is always a good laugh, especially if you're on the outdoor track. (Which you will be if you're running twin engine karts.)

Can't enter though 'cos I'll be away on holiday!
Maybe next time...

Greg Small
I'm sure we're not relations - any of your clan from Edinburgh? Nice to see another "Small" on the bbs - at least your first name isn't Dick!
