Karting - Tamworth or Banbury (25/6 or 2/7)
Anyone interested in arranging another gathering? It's been 9 years since Whilton Mill, believe it or not. We're a little older, a little wiser - wise enough to know that if Dan and his brother attend, a discussion must be had to decide on a ballast weight.
I'm not offering to arrange it, btw....just opening discussions.

Re: Karting
I've probably gained 10kg in the last 9 years. I'd potentially be up for this depending on times etc.
If you get all wobbly-lipped about the opinion of Internet strangers, maybe it's time to take a bath with the toaster as you'll never amount to sh1t anyway.
Re: Karting
Will everyone but Dan look like this now?

Ah, nice to see that Violet Beauregarde found a T-shirt in her size.

Re: Karting
I'm fatter and older than you and significantly less talented. Don't you dare assume that you'll not beat me!

Covid has reduced me to 11st 5 so I might be OK.

I still weigh pretty much the same as 10 years ago. Gonna need about 30-40KG of ballast to match you fat bastards

Re: Karting
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.

So we need to add ballast and also equalise our coefficients of drag?DeskJockey wrote: ↑Tue Feb 01, 2022 10:42 pm That's very scaleist of you. Can't help that some of us are built on a larger scale.

Re: Karting
Obviously. Dan and Marv can have pedal karts with the brakes locked on, rest of us in normal ones.

Re: Karting
I couldn't remember having been karting within the last decade so I checked my old e-mails for Whilton Mill. I'd forgotten I arranged it I'm not sure I have time to arrange another one but I'll come along.
There seems to be an additional Daytona karting place in Tamworth; not sure if that's more central than Whilton Mill? Was Whilton Mill any good, in fact? Daytona MK was always the best run kart place I've been to.

Re: Karting
Whilton mill is good, I did an event there with JLR in 2014 (lapped them all of course).
I’m over 80 kilos now so don’t stand a chance.
