if i can afford it mate then should be up for it, A46 go kartings pretty good, petrol ones and its very easy to get to
yer thats cool if u know somewhere else. Priory Go Karts is the one by me tho thats why i mentioned it.
But if ur place is easier to get to, and maybe cheaper, jobs a good'un

yer all u do is if you come off the M1 onto the A46 (junction 21A) then carry on till u get to the roundabout, turn left at the round about and ull still be on the A46 and its a 10min drive down there on the left hand side!!
i can find out some prices if ya want matey, then if ya like u can all come back to me old mans for a cuppa!
or theres an indoor electric one in thurmaston, their pretty quick carts!
all sounds good mate, u get some pricey for that and i'll get the ones for mine and compare
and cuppa sound class also :D

dont really know any of you guys yet, but i would be up for it, could prob get a couple to come aswell. how many are going so far
as soon as u meet us mate u will know us...
come on lads we need some prices!
dan
matt
me!
sort it oot
Dan_Williams
16-02-2006, 18:04
lol ok, well il get a mate to come along so thats four of us
Have you found o9ut if they have wide, fat bastard seats?, and have we got a date/day?
the ones near me have nice bucket seats
date we need to arrange n prices
Right then lads, ive got in touch with my go cart place info as follows:
They do all types of different events
*Sprint - 1st person to finish 50 laps wins
*Indurance - Tag Team Event
*Grand Prix - but we need at least 16 people to do that
All carts for ppl 18yrs old n over are 270cc, [with wide bucket seats Lunner]
£40 per person and thats for however long the event takes us, helmets and clothing supplied [shoes, gloves and kit]
Company does require £15 per person deposit then that secures us or the date so noone can book on our day so we dont have any snotty kids waiting for us to finish crying to daddy that were takin to long
check out http://www.priorypark.co.uk/ for more info
doesnt look the cheapest of places but the track IS MINT and the carts are very quick
Dan and Matt let me know what prices and events you have and we can sort something - but would like a minimum of 8 people to go.
Some time in March would be best
Cheers Lads
Gav
sorry lads SILL havnt got prices :oops:
out of a job as from 2day though so i will have plenty of time 2 look up sum prices!
Outdoor track, cock on!
Looks good, must remember driving a kart round a track is different to driving a clio round a track, ALOT less braking involved lol
well iv never driven anythin round a track! lol.......
ill prob end up in the the tires at every corner.....or getin lappd 20 times....or both :lol:
I'll get lapped 20 times, used to be really good at karting till i learnt to drive a fwd car on a track, now i seem to ahve forgotten how to be fast in a kart.
I'm prolly gonna end up drifting every corner
