NORTH EAST: Karting - Date TBC

[Omi]

Have spoken to a couple of folks who are well up for a meet with a bit of winter karting involved too.

We did this about 4 years ago and was ace fun. - Turn up on a Sunday, race for an hour, go get food and a pint...

Karting circuit is in Middlesbrough, easy to Google if you want all the details before I post them.

Please register interest, you don't have to ride, you can watch with the other girls and just join in for food and beer. - Going to try and get all the old school crew back as well as all the new guys from the region that haven't made it to meets yet.

Names below please.

You lot are in trouble, I used to race 100cc karts there not the lawnmowers they hire out. I'll be laying the smack down girls

[Omi]

I won't actually be racing. - I get motion sickness after about 20 laps and pit to throw up.

We do have some experts regionally though.

Bring it on beeeyach

if we can get a definate 25 names down, we can do the iron man(?) event £35 each, 20 mins practice to dial in your fastest lap for grid posision, then 40 mins of pure hell racing

4. Bill Gates Warden Law is a better track than Teeside though

[E30BeemerLad]

Warden Law? I used to race at one at a place called Felton, up near Morpeth way

[craigieeb]

The karts at Warden law are slow compared to the ones at teeside, the ones up teeside do 65mph apparentley, i'v only seen 63 out of them tho

interested in this depending on when though!

love karting

[Alex]

i might be intersted in this depending on price and date

its about time i met some north east zoners

[Omi]

Worked out between £35 and £40 last time I was there, that's for the Iron-Man session. - 10 minute warmup and practice, 10 minute qualifying, 40 minute race...

Doesn't sound like a lot, but well worth it and you'll be knackered afterwards!

We can do a LOT better than 5 people interested though, spread the word.

[Alex]

sounds good, ive been there before when i was 14-15 and enjoyed it then

just seeing if my mate is upto it too

[billgatese30]

i might have people up for it once we get a date sorted

[Dezzy]

Yeh if the wardon will let me out and if i doont need to be in my e30 as it is not exactly ready to roll yet. I will be there. Thanks for the invite

[baur320]

Once the date is finalised, there'll be a few from BMW Club NE

They were the ones i was thinking of Mick


what is it they say about great minds and all that

[baur320]

That's true Chris, but I'd (wrongly) guessed that you were thinking others

[hoshy]

It's a long trek but it would be worth it to beat all your asses

Warden or Teesside is fine.

Any of you guys doing the LeMans 24hr (karting)??

[E30BeemerLad]

It's a long trek but it would be worth it to beat all your asses

Not a chance mate

[hoshy]

I've done a bit of club100 and and amongst other things I've done the LeMans 24 (pro-kart) for the last 6 years - this year makes 7.

Still - there's only one way to settle it!

[billgatese30]

I think to make it fair we need to ballast up th karts so we are all at the same weight, otherwise all the skinny short-arses will win

[hoshy]

Ahh you can't steal my advantage like that!!!

But if that's the way you want it I'm up for it.

I weigh in around 60 lol

what...60 kilo's


were definatley ballasting up, i weigh in at nearer 100kg (217lbs clothed according to th scales at work)

I never realised i was soooo fat

[hoshy]

I'm not taking 40kgs on board chris!!! you'll just have to lay off the pies for a while

[billgatese30]

I'll need to chop out between my lungs and my knee caps to loose that much....is this going to be karting match in 2012?

[E30BeemerLad]

Chris, no way do you weigh 16 stone

[billgatese30]

not far off, fully clothed (as i would be on the day) i weight about 217ibs, which is 15.5 stone...i just hide it well i think

[craigieeb]

fully clothed (as i would be on the day)

Bloody hope so,
although it would be funny seeing you blast around in a borat thong

[billgatese30]

trust me, it wouldn't

and if i wanted to loose weight, shedding my clothing is the last thing i would think of, a diet would be much more beneficial

[RM2186]

We'd happily come for a chuckle. Despite my ace driving skills, I am carrying too much beer belly to get a good start of the start line.

Let us know the date etc

[Alex]

any rough dates yet omi

[Omi]

I'm thinking end of March, after pay day for most folks, won't be quite as chilly, and plenty of notice for everyone. Only 6 weeks away really!

[Alex]

sounds ok for me

dont suppose you ever go teesside on a wednesday night do you omi, yes i know its for idiotic chavs but my mate always makes me go

[Ollie_bwoii]

Damn I would love to do this if it was closer to me! I was in a kart series for juniors but gave up a few months ago now, really miss it! On to big cars soon!

[Alex]

get the train up ollie

[Ollie_bwoii]

Its a very very long train journey!
