Club Arnage Go-Karting Event

[Doris]

I'm up for this providing I can find / fit into a team.  Is there a ragtag bunch out there who are willing to risk it all by letting a woman drive?.   

[Steve Pyro]

Doris, Team Old Farts in Kit Cars would happily accept someone of your unique driving ability. 

(Remember - I've witnessed your co-driving at a certain Northamptonshire circuit).

Right, here goes!!

The long and short of it.  For us to use Buckmore, we will need a minimum of 15 teams for a 90min or 120min endurance race and something in the order of at least three to four people per team.  This will give us at least four to five hours at Buckmore, more enough to work up a thirst and appetite for the evenings fun if you would like to stay on.  The facilities at Buckmore are first rate for our needs during the day.  Check out their website for details.

Costs per team are £134 for 90min and £179 for 120min.  Not expensive when divided up amongst the individuals.  Buckmore need a 50% deposit up front when booking.

Thoughts at the moment, let me know how many teams we can field, if short i will approach Beer Mountain, tw**tS, Porsche Curve Pirates and any other groups you may like to suggest.  We can have more than 15 teams, the max is 35, so maybe that's something to aim for.

Speaking with Mr Zarse we have come up with some solutions to the "pro kart racer" vs the fat arsed slow coaches like me and Gazza, so fear not.  Also don't bank on racing with a particular team, more info later.

Gimp Zarse has the inside gen on good overnight sleeps, curry and beers.

Thinking about the tale end of April over a weekend, so racing on Saturday, meal & beer for those that would like to stay on.

Let me know numbers initially so we can work this up and get our slot booked with Buckmore.

Further details to follow. 

Look forward to hearing from you.

Looking through the Arnages that have already indicated they would be interested it amounts to twenty names.  Obviously this does not include your chums, fantastic start.

To make ago of it we need at least 45 names (15 karts x 3 drivers ).

We are discussing it on our forum, Peter. Will let you know asap...

[Steve Pyro]

I should be able to rope in Scammel Dick and Andy Three Cobras.

Scammel dick?  What do you have to do to earn a nickname like that

[Ferrari Spider]

I should be able to rope in Scammel Dick and Andy Three Cobras.

Steve, ideally we would look for at least three if not four team members.  More the merrier, really, any extra they can always play for another side!

[NormanD]

I am Karting with a bunch of GT40 Enthusiasts at Aldershot on the 30th, I will see if I can get some of them to join us.

Cheers for that Steve.  Much appreciated.

I have to say though I don't recall doing much in the way of co-driving.  My memory is more one of sitting in the passengers seat with a big f**k off grin on my face.

UPDATE ON THIS, HAVE SENT OUT A PM TO ALL THOSE THAT HAVE EXPRESSED AN INTEREST TO FIND OUT HOW MANY PEOPLE IN TOTAL WILL BE ATTENDING.  OBVIOUSLY THIS CAN INCREASED AND SO REDUCE THE COST BUT WE DO NEED A MINIMUM NUMBER TO BOOK THE TRACK.

IF POSSIBLE CAN YOU LET ME HAVE AN ANSWER BY THE END OF THIS WEEK, ONCE WE HAVE THE MINIMUM NUMBER I SHALL BE ASKING FOR THE DEPOSIT MONEY.

ANY QUERIES EITHER PM ME OR RAISE IT ON THE FORUM.

ALL THE BEST FOR NOW AND LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR REPLIES.

[Paddy_NL]

[madgasters]
