Ok the summer is here and I think it's time to dust off those silky driving skills.:D

I'm just gauging interest at the minute, date as yet to be announced. I'm thinking sometime early August, maybe 1st week but it depends on availability.

Max number of people is 25, venue is Warden Law...located near Sunderland/Durham.

http://www.kartingnortheast.com/karting.htm

It is an outdoor 1200 metre track and is used on the British Championship circuit. It's a great track.:cool:

Price is £35/£40 for 15 minutes of timed practice followed by 30 minutes of racing. I'm sure we can split into two races like we did last time. Deposits will most likely be need but I'll sort that out once a date is confirmed.

So who's up for it? :D

1.) Mo
2.) Brushy
3.) Carl
4.) LeeP
5.) rhardaker
6.) Brummy Lad
7.) Hat
8.) Andy
9.) Stew
10.) Mal
11.) Chris
12.) Rakes
13.) Anand (Maybe)

--------
UPDATE 20/07 NEW TIME

Ok it is provisionally booked for August 11th @ 6:30pm (Although we need to arrive at 6:00pm for briefing).

Price is £37 per person with a £20 deposit.

We've got that date on hold for 48 hrs. If that day is ok, we all need to phone in our deposits within that time. I will update the first post with a Poll, be easier for a YAY or NAY on that date.:) I hope it is ok.

Please let us know via the above poll.:)

Oop's I missed this.... August would be fine with me... do we need to drum up more interest ?... missing a few (Stew, Earl, Rob., Dink, KLF, Malross etc etc)

evenings are ok, as long as it gives us time to get there, but weekends are better.

Just pick out a few dates that they have free Mo and then we'll all see which are the most popular I think is the best way to approach it:)

I was trying to get the numbers first as no doubt deposits will be needed. I thought maybe a Friday? Most people are away on weekends.

not many weekends are free between now and Sept, so Friday could be hard for me and others I am guessing? Like you said people make plans for weekends in advance, but an evening in the week might be easier for them to make the effort to get up there:)
