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

[Janesy B]

Buckmore is better

 

[Kingy]

Daytona Milton Keynes is supposed to be very good. Twin engined 6.5hp Honda karts. Not quite Rotax (yay!) but close enough for arrive and drive

I've been there a couple of times years back & thoroughly enjoyed it...

 

[Theophany]

Buckmore is better

Buckmore is great, even more local to me too so I can dig it

 

[Janesy B]

Going to try and get that one booked in nice and early so we have a decent sized grid. I'll try to get a discount too, even if it's just a fiver off PP.

 

[kaiowas]

Daytona in MK is decent enough, been several times before.

 

[^JP^]

OK, Will await a new thread by Janesy for the next meet.

Any news on extra footage from Fuzz? I want to see some more carnage

 

[lordrobs]

I'd be well up for another local(ish) kart meet.

 

[mrk]

Buckmore is a nice track, at least I've raced there once before so know what to expect hah.

As much of a cruise it was trekking all the distance of this one, the next one being closer makes things a lot easier especially getting up in the morning and non-ungodly hours

 

[Fuzz]

I am still uploading all the raw footage to a dropbox account for mrk or who ever else that wants a go at editing up a "best bits" type affair of the whole day.
It's saying three days to upload currently, as it's only transferring at 98kB/sec.
Go Pro files total 18.4GB
Contour files total 7.3GB

I can of course do one of our crash if you like JP

 

[mrk]

Yikes that's some file sizes right there.

Yeah I can mash up the bits as discussed no problem and put it into a YouTube link just let me know when it's done although at that speed that will take a while!

 

[Howard]

Robbie, sounds like you need to install this on your machine for Andy's benefit

 

[mrk]

Depends on how far it's already gone on his upload!

Oh wow that is a lot of data!

Would be cool to see our crash, should have just snail mailed the sd cards to someone with a fibre connection.

 

[Fuzz]

OK, I've hashed together one of our crash, including the start as it makes me look quite good haha.
Start position - 9th (3rd fastest from qualifying I think)
Roasted you lot on the first corner until the other dude with the GoPro slid out in front of me on the next bend where you all piled back past me.
On to the next one with everyone jostling for position...
Sod that.. Dry line, wide entry... SEE YA.
Then you slide out in front of me...
FFFFUUUUUuuuuuuuu
Game over.



Uploading now

 

[Fuzz]

60% uploaded as I type but this is it...

 

[kaiowas]

Just to take break from all of the crashing can we see the last couple of laps of race 1?

 

[Fuzz]

I spent most of that race getting a new kart going..
I can do one from where I re-join the shenanigans.

 

[^JP^]

Yep that is definitely why my neck hurts!

Thought I was going to hit the guy in front of me, panic braked and lost it!

I am going to buy some of my own gear for next time including a neck support thing.

Looking forward to seeing some more footage of the clean racing

 

[Fuzz]

All I have to show for the day is a bruised knee from bracing for the flat out top corner.

 

[Gaygle]

Yeh my neck and back are hurting a bit since Janesy went into the back of me. Brb claiming some whippy compo.
