There seems to be an additional Daytona karting place in Tamworth; not sure if that's more central
Alasβ¦. not really.
Don't know what you're on about, it's 40 miles closer to you

I'm fat and old now so i'll probably be last.
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
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?

That's very scaleist of you. Can't help that some of us are built on a larger scale. I'm lighter (by about a stone) than the last time I joined a karting event, but I doubt that'll make much difference.
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

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).

What do you call a CI5 agent with no arms and no legs?

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.
