Pro Karting @ 3 Sisters Race Circuit (29th June 2007)

I've been offered some spare places on a pro karting event at 3 Sisters Race Circuit (near Wigan). It's a 2 hour Endurance race in teams of 4 in twin-engined pro karts. There's also a 30 minute timed practice/qualifying session beforehand.

 

Driver & re-fuelling strategy is left to the team. The circuit is about 1000m in length & the karts are powered by 2 x unrestricted 160cc Honda 4 stroke engines.

 

This is considered to be the next step up from indoor karting & is a proper kart racing circuit, as used by the RAC British Kart Grand Prix. The karts are capable of speeds up to 70mph!

 

It's £45 per person, teams of 4 required. The event starts at 6pm.

 

I'm going with a few lads from work so i thought i'd see if anyone else fancies joining us? Monies will need to be paid in advance, either to me & i'll pass it on or i can give you the details of the organiser & you can pay him directly. He's organising it for people at my old company. They have 12 teams so far & the event can have up to 20 teams so it should be an eventful event!

 

To me, this looks like the ultimate karting event. Anyone up for it?

nice one chaps - if we have one more you've got a team of 4 sorted already! the guys at my work are people who've been karting before but no-one is a pro or anything

 

the guy who is organising it i think is pretty good & does alot of karting but the event is just a general corporate event for anyone interested

 

i can't bloody wait!!!

Quality, as far as i can see im free so count me in. Just hope the Karting seats are wide enough for my fat ass. :D

 

i'll ring & check seat sizes for you if you like? :p i'm sure you'll have no problems, Bowser & Donkey Kong don't seem to have a problem in MarioKart :)

 

i need to get payments in for those who want to go so hit me with the bread guys, if you're coming

right i've got one team at work already & i'm collecting monies from them tomorrow - if you guys can get cash or cheque (made payable to '3 Sisters Race Circuit' and you would need to remember to bring your cheque guarantee card along with you to the event) to me on monday night at Mascrat i'll get it passed on to the organiser next week :)

 

could do with a confirmed team of 4 really - where's Rob, Mike, Derek, Matt, etc, etc? come on guys this will be awesome!!!
