I've given Richard B a pass out for this one so now all he has to decide is which team to be on! My guess is he'll stay loyal to the blow up boat brigade!

Went out on a works do to a place in Aldershot a few years ago. MadMat may know about it? As I remember it was quite full on - bridges and tunnels all indoor. It may have been this one: http://www.goballistic.co.uk/karting...6&activityID=2 which proves my memory is faulty as it seems to be in Camberly!

There's a couple of on line resources for karting that pop up if you google... http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=L&ai=...l4uGh_lXIfcco= and http://www.go-karting.co.uk/

I hear that the speedboat brigade are having trouble picking a kart circuit because they can't find one that's flat enough for them!

Oh, and the karts need to be really shiny too

I'm up for a race though. Anyone else?

How very dare you! A measly, paltry, derisory £50? I've never been so insulted in all my life!

This must be a tough moral decision for you JK, which forum to race for...?

http://www.rib.net/forum/showthread.php?t=16559

I wonder if JF will follow suit by selling Leviathan and buy a RIB?

Could always come here-it's easy access from pretty much anywhere.

They appear to do minidigger racing too....this could prove dangerous!

What about fast lane karting (indoor) in stoke, or swains of buxton (outdoor, nice and wet) great tracks, and i have never lost at either.

www.swains-centre.co.uk

(Swaines offer battery karts just incase the other forum gets too scared).

www.fastlanekarting.co.uk

(These offer enduro racing, propper f1 style with free stuff at the end).

It's been cancelled due to a complete lack of interest!
