MEGA · 06-23-2011, 08:20 AM

OK: Done. Surbiton it is. I've set up 5 options. You can choose multiple so please select all dates you can do

Cheers

Think you should left one day for each poll. Potentially some could make one of the days of the two they have voted on!

You can never have too much karting imo!

Good plan Dave,*good terms* means it's cheaper, that is what you meant,yes?

The track at Crawley is a good laugh and it's indoors, so no chance of getting rained off,BUT it's slap bang in the middle of a trading estate.

Nearest town for a night out is Crawley, and I rather go to Helmand, than Crawley!

Surbiton is local too, so sounds good to me

How about lakeside?! They have twin engines prokarts and they are pretty
new also!

Went to Surbiton a couple of months ago and, like you, wasn't expecting much from the single engine Hondas. To my surprise they were rather good, well maintained and dare I say 'nippy' and suited the track well.
Ok, the track isn't Clay P or Whilton etc but still good fun with a couple of interesting chicanes.

I thought you and Toxic were sorting something Carl?

dxb335d · 06-23-2011, 12:10 PM

I am going too. But not for while now!
When you wanna go?! This weekend?

ed you big girlie too big for karting if I can do it I'm sure you can

magic77 · 06-23-2011, 01:28 PM

in terms of dates easy on any of them with plenty of Notice, though Saturday would be a lot better as getting in to Surbiton on a Friday is a right £"$"£$%"£

Plus babysitter easier to arrange for Sat night

MEGA · 06-23-2011, 01:32 PM

It will almost definitely be a sat night. Agreed. Worst part of M25 + fri eve rush hour =

magic77 · 06-23-2011, 01:33 PM

if Ed Bowser then that makes me the donkey kong

Ed you got to come only chance I have to have someone slower then me

willhollin · 06-23-2011, 01:50 PM

Combine it with a meal at Big Tone's and I could be interested.

MEGA · 06-23-2011, 01:53 PM

Yeah good luck getting 10+ E9x's parked up in Fulham on a saturday night...

willhollin · 06-23-2011, 01:54 PM

Take the Karts!

magic77 · 06-23-2011, 02:21 PM

actually that's not so bad , Tony's place is literally across the road from Chelsea Hospital that has a huge underground car park so just park in there. Well lit decent size spaces, and if you crazy enough you an drift all the way down the entrance tunnel

Its about 10 miles from Kart to the restaurant it could be done

dxb335d · 06-23-2011, 02:25 PM

As long as Tony doesn't mind a load of sweaty peeps LOL

seanblee · 06-23-2011, 02:52 PM

I'm interested...

Nice! Didn't know that.

Well I'm happy if Tone is happy.

Anyone got his contact details? Seeings he's never on here these days

Sounds like a plan to be honest guys

The only other issue is karting is likely to go on till 9 pm ish so it does depend how late Tony runs service until?

magic77 · 06-23-2011, 03:47 PM

once we have a date I can give him a call no problem. If there is a big enough group he has a function room so as long as thats free I'm sure he can lock us in there

MEGA · 06-23-2011, 03:56 PM

This is starting to sound like a proper meet

Let's let the poll run a week or two and then we can pick the date

parapaul · 06-23-2011, 04:00 PM

I can do all but the first of those weekends, look forward to this

magic77 · 06-23-2011, 04:02 PM

unless anything changed I hear that things stay open until its done. Being a sat meet if we set so we finish karts around 8 gives plenty time to get to Tonys to eat around 9 any later and I recon me and Ed will start to ear the karts

BarrySt · 06-25-2011, 11:13 AM

Mega,
I'd love to come - I visited last year when I had my CLK but got the 330d now. I have something to prove - to not be last again: I just couldn't stop the kart sliding on the wet track, I'm sure I must have had slicks or something, so hoping for a dry night this time!
