Alas…. not really. :(
Don't know what you're on about, it's 40 miles closer to you :lol:

Count me in.
Racing snake status: revoked 😲

I still weigh pretty much the same as 10 years ago. Gonna need about 30-40KG of ballast to match you fat bastards πŸ˜‚
If you sit on Dans shoulders and I get a rolling start then I may stand a chance of not being lapped 😎

Thought I'd bounce this:

Tamworth - https://www.daytona.co.uk/venues/tamworth/
Banbury - http://www.kartingbanbury.co.uk/

Latter looks a little more....rustic. The former has the benefit of being a little closer.

June 25th or July 2nd?

Being the tallest at a karting meet is the worst. The last time I did one the track had a steep bridge, I'd have been quicker to get out and push on the up slope :lol:

I can do either date or location. Had no idea there was a Cotswold kart track, and the instructions not to drive through Shenington village to get to it are hilarious.

Shirley being the heaviest is the worst? :?

(Other than being blind etc etc).

If it's in Banbury on a day when I happen to be in Oxford then I'd be up for that.

That was just an excuse for why I didn't visit.
