Title: 3rd forum meet....IDEAS + DATES
Post by: joesgti on February 26, 2009, 02:43:24 pm
Well as the title says, any ideas and dates.

i think karting would be quite fun!! around the midlands again so its in the middle for everyone.

or i was in contact with knockhill track and they said that we could hire the track for a day for 3000-5000 (depending on dates) so the price wouldnt be bad if we had 30-40 cars!! but would you take your car on a track??

or we could just do another RWYB day at the pod when the weather is a lil better.

oh and meets in car parks are pritty boring so is best to actually do something where ever we go!

I wondered when this would pop up. :smiley:

I'm up for another meet, but we will already be seeing each other on a semi-regular basis due to the show season getting into gear.

Here are just a few in the next two months that a few of us will be at..

8th March - Ultimate Dubs :smiley:
14th March - RWYB day at the Pod - again :happy2:
29th March - Spring Festival
12th April - Elsecar Mega Meet.

Knockhill - would be good, but it is waaaay up in Scotland :sad:
Karting - excellent idea :jumping:
RWYB - always good for a laugh and a bit of healthy drag going on (oo..er!)

A couple of suggestions....

http://www.whiltonmill.co.uk/karting.php   Just off the M1 J18

http://www.stretton2000.com/tracksection.htm   bit further north, in Leicestershire

been to stretton a couple of times, not a technical circuit but plenty fast....1 for big kahunas.  The Whitton mill was OK, ive only been on the small circuit in the wet, good laugh but those karts wernt that fast.  The bigger curcuits have different twin engine karts that looked VERY fast..... karts were spinning off the track on the straights!!!!  :surprised:

There is also a pretty large one in Warrington, but that might be a bit out of the way for people.  http://www.speedkarting.co.uk/

Bit of a bummer about the Easter dates, I am off to Oulton Park for the for start of the new GT season which is on over the 3 days of Easter.  I will get to a meet this year one way or another!  :smiley:

Sorry Joe, read your post and thought you wanted an RR day organising?

It has been the forums intention to organise a centrally located RR day since the end of last year. If Mat is organising one we need to make sure the dates are far enough apart to make both feasible.  :smiley:
