Go Karting Fun

you really can't beat karting for the shear sense of speed, having your bum only 2inches off the track makes everything seem so much faster.

@OP - weight is the number 1 way to lose speed in karts I'm afraid, an outdoor track with flowing corners and no long straight should even things up a bit, especially if it's raining!!
 
I love go-karting, the worst thing for me is when i get out of the seats the outsides of my legs/hips are red raw due to the fact im quite skinny and get slammed against the bucket seats a lot lol
 
There is a place in London that uses electric karts which are just as good fun, but what they do is once you are on your kart they weigh you, and they adjust the power so all the karts have the same power to weight, which means us larger people get a chance :)

Sounds like a great idea! Being 6'4" and weighing *cough cough* stone means im at a major disadvatage.

Theres 3 karting tracks near me, need to get down and try them out.

We definately need to arange a proper OcUK Karting event. Getting a good number of people means we can hire the track for a proper race event and it would be cheaper than the arrive and drive sessions.
