East Meet with Go Karting - (Newmarket) Saturday May 11th

^JP^ · 4 Mar 2013 at 10:41

Hi all,

As the Trackday in May is off I thought it would be a good time to organise a meet in the East of England and as discussed before Christmas there was some interest in Go Karting.

Here are the details:

Red Lodge Karting Ltd.
Red Lodge
Suffolk
IP28 8LE

Minium of 10 people and Maximum of 20.

Mini GP 40 Lap 1200m Format £50 http://www.redlodgekarting.com/grandprix.html

I have contacted them and booked date and time.

Would need to be there for 15:15pm ish to start at 15:45pm on the 11th.

We will be finished around 6pm when we will drive to a local pub for dinner.

Pub Details
The Stag at Breckland Lodge
London Road
Attleborough,
Norfolk
NR17 1AY
http://www.brecklandlodge.co.uk/the-stag

Its 30min up the road from the Kart track and has good parking.

If you just want to come and spectate and then go to the pub (or just Pub!) that is fine also.

Thanks all

JP

Update 04/03:
Just paid a deposit so the time and date is confirmed.
Need to pay the full amount for a minimum of 10 drivers 21 days before the day.
I can do that no problem and take the first 9 peoples payments on the day then the rest pay direct to Red Lodge.

Video cameras such as Go Pro are allowed as long as they are well secured.
Also you can use your own helmets, gloves, boots etc if you have them.

Update 18/4:
I have now paid the full amount for 10 people so if we can get some more people firmed up over the next week or so that would be great.

Would love to but it's the wrong side of the country for me

ScoobyDoo69 · 4 Mar 2013 at 11:40

For an extra £3 you may as well do the 50 lap

Minimum of 10 racers, but max of 20. I think you could potentially fill the 20.

Sorry about that! There is always the RR day next month in Gloucestershire that you could go to?

Good point, Changed it to 50. Would be good to fill the 20 slots!

Pencil me In please, Just need to book the day off work but that shouldn't be a problem. Nice to have something in the east for once!

^JP^ · 4 Mar 2013 at 12:16

Nice one.
If people can say the car also since it is a "Motors meet", also helps to know who's who in the car park.

Janesy B · 4 Mar 2013 at 12:18

I'd like to do this, then I can book Buckmoore Park for Sept again and not feel guilty about doing the same track twice in a row.

DRZ · 4 Mar 2013 at 12:40

Hmm. A 2.5 hour drive... wouldn't be the furthest I've driven to a meet.

Pencil me in!

peterattheboro · 4 Mar 2013 at 12:59

I'm moving back up north that day

Any chance of moving it to the weekend before?

Tbid · 4 Mar 2013 at 13:29

Sorry, I'll most probably be in My Clio, Might be able to persuade my dad to let me take his Sunbeam rapier if the weathers good.

Sorry Peter, I can't do that weekend or the 18th. If we get lots of people who can't do the 11th I will look at doing another date but with the RR day at the end of April I run out of weekends!

lordrobs · 4 Mar 2013 at 13:54

If I have a car by then I'd most likely be up for a bit of karting! Not sure I could do 60km in a kart in one sitting though

*camp smiley*

^JP^ · 4 Mar 2013 at 14:02

I can always pick you up on my way through Norwich (I live up by North Walsham).

I did think 60km would be a bit much but as Kosta pointed out its only 3 quid and I think we want a good hour or so of racing or it will be all over before 11am!

Thanks for the offer. TBH transport itself isn't really an issue, the bigger problem is having something to turn up in that isn't my wifes Punto

^JP^ · 4 Mar 2013 at 14:19

Fair enough, I understand! Let us know if you get something

Phate · 4 Mar 2013 at 14:29

I'm in.

Theophany · 4 Mar 2013 at 14:55

Only an hour and a half drive for me... Will need to check for definite I'm not supposed to be anywhere, but very keen for this

^JP^ · 4 Mar 2013 at 16:08

Just had an email from Red Lodge Karting to inform me that the morning session has now been booked by someone else. Obviously I couldn't commit until I knew numbers from here.

So they now offer me the afternoon session starting at 15:45pm.

I am still good with that if others are. Gives people plenty of time to arrive, can meet up before hand, go karting and then pub for dinner?

If that is a problem for anyone, please let me know. I will be sending them a deposit tomorrow if its still all good.

Gaygle · 4 Mar 2013 at 16:44

Definitely maybe. Gotta see if I'm working that Saturday or if I get it off.

kaiowas · 4 Mar 2013 at 16:48

Would be rude not to seeing as it's as local we're likely to get. Red Lodge is a good circuit too although it's been a few years since I've driven it.

Car will either be Galant, MR2 or Puma.
