This event is always great fun, with 16 karts on an 800 metre track there is always someone to attempt to overtake in a gentlemanly manner!!!!

I look forward to racing with you all in November. 

['The Gaffer']

Great job Ken. Thanks.

[Cob68]

Hi Phil, send me a PM and let me know if you want me to send you the money or pay on the evening.

['The Gaffer']

See you all tonight

[Bulldog Bri]

Great fun, Shame we had the Lawn mower for a Kart. Would have at least liked to have had the chance to overtake one other Kart!!!

Still a lot of money rasied for a good cause, well done everone...

[Hairy Santa]

[Richard]

Sounds like you all had a good time, already heard the millions of Petes excuses 

[Bulldog Bri]

Found a couple more pics from the Karting eve think this was me in the seat as well!  (in red)



Yep... losing another place 

['The Gaffer']

Had it on good authority that Truxton is the place to try. Maybe next year we can do a club event there.

[Dangerous Bryan]

I've been to the 4X4 experience at Thruxton which is next to the kart track, and I have to say it does look very good indeed.  I'd be well up to a club event there, and know plenty of mates that would be too.
