M350ZB Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 As a few of you may know, i have a very good contact at lakeside kartin, and am turning into a keen karter. Wonder if any of you guys would be up for a session there and could maybe even turn it into a meet. Just throwing this out there for now to see the response i get. Could all meet and fill the lakeside karting carpark up with zeds, got tea/coffee and food facilities and potentially have a really good day out, then head either over to bluewater, so we can all convoy threw the tunnel and then park up to conclude the meet or head over to thurrock services. Anyone keen on this, as said just throwing this out there for now ? Mark
M350ZB Posted April 27, 2009 Author Posted April 27, 2009 Fair does, but we would meet at the karting arena and then ..............
Madmarky Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 I was only joking dude, we all know it was just a freak accident at the end of the day.
BulletMagnet Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Just remember to keep the ESP off in the future....gives you a better chance of not bending stuff. Mark, is the kart indoor or outdoor? Could attract forum members for a one night race championship knockout style.

rich5259 Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 hmmm, a buch of speed crazed zed owners fresh from karting and high on adrenalin leave the car park and forget they're not on track still.......could all end in tears
Chris`I Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Could be tempted. It an hr and a half drive for me though, so would like to see some kind of major event running over most of the day? Maybe a track nearer West London to attract more members?
roast350z Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Im up for it Mark would be a good laugh, does that mean we get good deals if you have a contact there?
hotrain69 Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 absolutely love karting! again, if nearer west london would definitely be on it.

Chris`I Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Funny you mention that, we're looking at places to go Karting around Slough for work. Heathrow is on the list as is this place, but we're trying to get more details - http://www.absolute-karting.co.uk/karting-details.php
M350ZB Posted April 28, 2009 Author Posted April 28, 2009 Im up for it Mark would be a good laugh, does that mean we get good deals if you have a contact there? Indeed it does, im glad to see a good response to this. Im assuming a saturday would most probably be best for most right ?, and there are two ways we can do it, we could have a individual race, or make it a multi team event, meaning you can have 2-3 drivers per team, so can all bring someone along. What are your views on this, Team or individual ?, o and saturday ?
rich5259 Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 not sure if Ayelsbury's in South-East region, but we had an evening event here for customers a couple of years ago. Well organised and an interesting split-level track. http://www.karting-nation.co.uk/sites/i ... tivityID=2

Well organised and an interesting split-level track. http://www.karting-nation.co.uk/sites/i ... tivityID=2 Thats the same distance from me as the original one. I think I'd prefer the original as we can get better prices Heathrow I suspect will get the best turnout as its easy to get to from a lot of places (M4, M3, M1 etc) Theres also an outdoor track in Surbiton which I did with the MLR. Wasnt the most interesting layout though.
M350ZB Posted April 28, 2009 Author Posted April 28, 2009 Heathrow I suspect will get the best turnout as its easy to get to from a lot of places (M4, M3, M1 etc) Lakeside is just off the M25 , so what would people prefer, individaul or teams (2-3 ppl) ?, this dependent on it being held at lakeside ?

Yeah, but how far round from the M4 and M3 It basically more than doubles my trip from 35mins to nearly 1.5hrs! I'm up for it either way I reckon, just you will definately get more interest if people dont have to go all the way around the M25 to get there
M350ZB Posted April 29, 2009 Author Posted April 29, 2009 Valid point Chris , Well my first port of call, is to pop up lakeside karting and get some quotes on events,e.t.c ,and then post them up and see what you guys think of it, then go from there .
