Post by: 'The Gaffer' on 27, August, 2009, 11:55:40 PM
Can we get 5 of us to make up team for a charity indoor Kart race in November?

It is being organised by our KrazyKen and the Bristol Pegasus Motor Club. I will take payment in advance and will pm and email my contact details to drivers.

The event will be held at The Raceway, Avonmouth, Bristol BS11 9YA.  Full details of the track layout and directions how to get there can be found at www.theraceway.co.uk. Or tel. 0800 3766111

Format: 25mins Qualifying + Endurance Race over 2 ½ hours
Teams: 5 drivers per team – 16 Teams in total
Cost: £175 per team = £35 per driver

This is your chance to be at the sharp end of your own Grand Prix Team, 25 minutes of qualifying will determine the grid for the start of the race with the best lap time taking pole position.  The drivers briefing on the night will give the usual rules and regulations which will be supplemented by those below: -

1.   Each driver must drive a minimum of 2 stints.
2.   The Raceway timing system will be the official clock.
3.   Most driving penalties will be a 30 second stop/go penalty.
4.   T-Bone another driver - 1 min stop/go penalty.
5.   Missing a driver change completely  – DISQUALIFICATION

The chosen chaity is the Wiltshire Air Ambulance.

Total payable by each member is £35 (this encludes karting and donation).

Last team paid today so the event now fully SOLD OUT.  Phil has paid for both your teams so your 2 team places are secured.

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.  :D

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.
