Mass LB Karting Get Together
Anyone up for organising a mass Locostbuilders karting session somewhere in the middle of the country?
Anyone interested or suggestions for good venues.
Mine would be York as that's the only one I've been to, but most of you are all southern fairies

Hmm....
York is probably pretty central when you take into account our friends across the border!

Fulbeck, near Newark, great circuit, full timing gear with massive leader board you can read whilst driving decent Karts, central.
Downside, severe backache for days, numb forearms and wrists.

ive done tockwith, plus most of the places around leeds. Also karting north east up near newcastle, all good places. We did a locostbuilders karting
session once, but only me and i think it was andrew turned up!

How about we make it interesting - do a few localised sessions and then a chamion of champions shootout to get the overall winner?

Milton Keynes is feasable.
Lets concentrate on one meeting and see how it goes!
Any other venues.
If we can agree on that 1st, then we can start a list of people.

Another vote for MK, mainly becasue it's 1/2 hr away! It is pretty central, but anywhere from 'Op north is a long way, especialy on fuel
for those tight fisted notherners!

Aye, I'd go to Milton Keynes, and could probably drag one or two mates as well.
We usuall go to Ancaster Karting, which is sort of central-ish but off the the East a
bit,here.

The best circuit to go for is PF international .... in the pic above. 1.2km long and they let you use the full circuit on pretty decent karts. Is
considered the best circuit in the country. I used to race there every month. Its just off the A1 near newark so is central in terms of north and
south. They specialise in corporate type events. This one is the one to go for !!!
All the info is here

I'd be up for a southern one, or maybe MK if a few people from the Guildford area were going up together
If you're looking for a central location though, a few weeks ago I went to Grand Prix Karting for
a stag do in Birmingham, they use the same Biz twin engine pro karts as Ive driven elsewhere, its quite a good track for overtaking, and the staff are
fairly relaxed unlike the patronising attitude some organisers seem to have so overall a good afternoon out.
These places that claim the pro karts hit 60-70mph though are having a laugh, I got fastest time of the day at the above and happened to have my GPS
in my pocket and I only logged just over 40mph depite a fairly long straight where the kart didn't feel like it was accelerating much more! Ive
also driven at MK and Thruxton in similar karts and they didnt feel any quicker, so would be interested to find somewhere that really had proper
competition spec karts with a bit more grunt.
