Karting & Meal

Hi All

I am looking to organise a karting event followed by a curry.
It is going to be at either the docklands or Kings Cross.
Do not be put off by the location,The circuits are amongst the best indoor circuits in Europe,and are very easy to get to by train.
I will post all details once i have confirmed prices back.
It will be end of November or possibly early December.
I realise i have no costs yet,but want to know who is interested,as numbers will make a diference to the cost.
Max 20 people.

After a great couple of hours of Karting, Those who wish can come for a curry to relax and talk about just how good they were


Take a look at the set up, i have been and it was superb.
http://www.theraceway.com/default.aspx
The format is below

Mini Endurance – for 10 to 20 drivers

This format is designed for smaller groups who wish to have all competitors on the circuit throughout the entire duration of the event. Each driver is allocated their own kart and entered into a 10 minute practice/qualifying session followed by two 25 minute races.

After the practice/qualifying session drivers are arranged in qualifying order and set free for the first race. Following 25 minutes of intense kart racing the chequered flag is waved signaling the end of race one. After a short break race two begins with drivers starting from the position in which they finished race one.

Points are awarded for finishing positions in each race and amalgamated to give each driver one final score – the higher the finishing position the more points gained – with the top three drivers receiving trophies.

In a word YES

17 stone against some of you light weights ain't going to happen.

The last time I went karting I ended up in an ambulance having my 4th heart attack.

It was on Friday 13th October 2006.

It may well be at Kings cross,it depends on which circuit is free first.

Edited to say
Kings cross is no longer operating,its been pulled down

Updated with all the details

Location:Docklands
Date: 27.11.2010
Cost: £65 per person
Time:17.30
Event Time:2 hours

Note: A minimum of 15 people required for this mini endurance to go ahead.

This date has been held for 2 weeks.

My suggestion is all go by train.
We need to go to London Bridge then Jubillee line to North Greenwich , where we will be collected by the Karting companies coach and taken to the circuit.
For those in kent and sussex its best to meet at Tonbridge station as there are plenty of places to park. The trains run every 11 minutes to London Bridge.
I have checked with network rail and they do group rail cards, 4 persons £32 which is £8 each, that includes the tube.
For those comming from surrey and other areas we can arrange a meeting time at London Bridge.

Thanks for the great response so far guys.
Basically we have 2 weeks to get a minimum of 15 people together.
Worzel/Anger/Dukeboy/Alfamale/Silversurfer/Kartingsteve/Baz/Skullfudge etc etc come on chaps where are you hiding.
Hey ladies this includes you come on,come and show us men how good you are

Hi All
We need to get at least another 7 for this to go ahead.

Mate, remember you are talking about........ a fat old bloke, with a fooked back! To say the least, go karts are not best suited to this combination.

If the back wasn't so bad, I would risk the beating, for the sake of having a laugh, sorry mate

[majorscooby]

Any more for this??

[RobEvo5]

Sorry to make things worse I have had to cancel this as well. But looking like numbers were going to fall well short anyway on this one.

That's a shame Rob
not given up yet, we need 15 to make it happen
