Minimoto (& Karting) in the next few months-who and when

Anyone interested in doing another (hopefully without the closed motorway) day of minimoto and karting?

Location will probably be Hullavington; M4 J17.
https://www.minimoto.co.uk/thecircuit.html
Seem to have by far the best attitude of such places; there's a karting place in Reading that does minimotos as well but they're rather officious, same with a few other places around here.

Format will be something like minimoto in the morning, then some lunch (BBQ?) and Karts in the afternoon.
Each one will probably be a 15-20 minute practice section, followed by a 10-15 minute 'race'.
Cost will be something around £30 for each, do both or just one.

So who's interested?
and...
When would you prefer; can/can't make it - I'm thinking September to November?

Is that where we went last year when you all got stuck in traffic?

Might come to watch when you sort a date out if we're not busy, or even see if John can make himself sick enough to throw up in the tyres again.......and still finish the race! Laughing

I just hope he doesn't come back with any more silverware - I don't think we've got any more space on the shelf with the rest of them Rolling Eyes

Erm, there's some big pot holes and nasty gravel in the carpark... might be best if you leave it on the road by the entrance road Razz

Well at least when you unload your bike from the van there will be some off roady bits for you.

All the best

I'm in if it's on a Saturday, can't make Sundays due to work. Been nearly 5 years since I last rode a minimoto.

As always I'm up for it, hopefully I won't be on crutches this time round Thumbs Up

I don't think I'll be able to do the minimoto this time round as my ankle is still srewed but definately up for the go karting.

I'm tempted, been a while since I've seen any of you southern folk, does depend on funds though. Nov would probably be do-able, I should be rich by then.

I was thinking maybe Saturday 1st November - should be conviently just after payday for most and a decent amount of time for everyone to get sorted.

Anyone got any issues with that date?

T-b0Ne321 · Spanner Monkey Joined: 30 Sep 2007 Karma :

Perfect

Saturday? Hmm, sounds good. Hullavington is a fair treck from Plymouth but not a million miles from home- Tristan_the might be up for it too.

Matt(sprattUK), if you wanna come I'm sure you and Tristan can crash at mine Saturday night and we'll ride back sunday.
