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

Gav
29-01-2006, 16:40
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!

Gav
29-01-2006, 17:33
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

Lunner
16-02-2006, 18:22
Have you found o9ut if they have wide, fat bastard seats?, and have we got a date/day?

Gav
16-02-2006, 19:23
the ones near me have nice bucket seats

date we need to arrange n prices

Gav
17-02-2006, 11:37
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

Mattie
17-02-2006, 12:37
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!

Lunner
17-02-2006, 13:10
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

Mattie
17-02-2006, 13:42
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:

Gav
17-02-2006, 13:54
its all good fun matey

Lunner
17-02-2006, 16:45
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

Dancliovalver
17-02-2006, 17:41
