Think I have to bail out of this :(

Got tomorrow off work now and need to move tomorrow instead of Saturday.

Plan was to load the van up, come to karting and then drive up north but now I'm going tomorrow.

Sorry :(

OK mate, just send me an email and I will refund you tomorrow.

Good luck up North!


L0rdMike, very welcome to come, if you want to Kart then you can pay on the day.

Have you booked the pub? It gets a bit busy on Saturdays especially as there is an event at Snetterton. Think you can book a bar table if people don't want restaurant/ carvery.

I contacted them and they have a big booking later on, we should be there around 6:30 to 7pm and we can just find our own tables, bar, outside if its nice etc

I didn't want to book a big table for say 15 people and then not everyone wants to sit and eat.

There is also the other pub there across the car park?

Looks like there could be some rain about but who knows where it will hit.

The track is outdoor and fully floodlit, if we do get some rain they won't stop us unless it gets torrential and dangerous.

I am quietly optimistic that we will have a nice afternoon and the weather forecasters are just scaremongering :p

15:15 arrival at Red Lodge is still the plan yup?

Yes 15:15 to 15:30.

Not liking the look of the weather tomoz afternoon/Eve :/

Heavy rain from early afternoon to late evening. I have a horrible feeling this may be cancelled :/

Nationwide or local? Because I was just watching the weather and it didn't look too bad around the track location with a sunny evening according to the weather girl.

They told me I would be contacted if we can't go racing!

I'll update in the morning if I hear anything.

On the forecast thing it looks like the rain clouds are either side of the track, we will be fine ;)

Don't forget Norwich convoy meet at 2-2:15 near the bottle banks at Waitrose.

That gives me and Kaiowas just enough time to watch all the quali and will be there about 2:05!!

Didn't forget, I have the F1 set to record but will probably listen to it or watch the end on Sky Go.

Ahh so nice to get home from a meet in an hour :cool:

Fantastic day despite the on off weather, I think the changeable conditions made it very fun.

I will put the results and times up once people post their kart numbers ( I was #7).

Can't wait to see the pictures and videos.

Roll on the next one :D

On the way home, a Teg tried to race Kaiowas and JP, I think JP put him off! Then I pulled up behind the Teg in the fuel station and had to wait to pay whilst he chatted up the girl on the till :rolleyes:

Hahaha that Teg was so funny, one of the loudest cars I have ever heard and almost no power! He waved me to go and I dropped him like he didn't even put his foot down so I slowed and he gave thumbs up before turning off to get petrol.

Sorry to fly by the Norwich crew :p

Nice racing Janesy, you started in 6th, dropped down to 8th and then pulled it back to 3rd!

I got caught up in some carnage but had some nice clear track and am happy with my 4th fastest lap time.
