Can you recommend this place Andy? I know nothing about it.

Yep, good place, typical warehousy indoor karting circuit. Indoor tight track but reasonably wide so not too bad for overtaking. Restricted single-engine 4-strokes, as found at many other UK circuits. Raised viewing area and cafe from which you can see whole circuit is good for spectating and chatting. 3hrs is a long time - in a team of 3 or 4 you'll ache afterwards probably - should be good though. Reasonably easy-going with the black flag, pulling you in to the sinbin briefly for minor misdemenours :-D

That'll be great Stu but will you fit in one?

Where are all the budding racers?

I was one of the guys that made up the three teams that whooped Scoobycitys arse in an inter forum challenge at the karting place at Ipswich

A great day out with a load of mates and we should have done that again.

Ok, admittedly I was crap, but we came first, second and third overall so I did well enough. As for fitting Gerry...............you bring the shoehorn and I'll bring the motivation

In that case, I'll have trouble reaching the pedals.

Anyway, we have a date, time and a cost. We need a minimum of one more but ideally two, for our first team.

You wont have to worry about whiplash Stu.....I'm not gonna be driving :lol:
