Right then here it is

I've sorted a Karting night out on Saturday 23rd February we'll be meeting at 4:00pm in Warrington.

The event starts at 5:00pm so best if we meet about 4:00pm

I've attached a map of directions to the circuit but I'll try and get a better one


The event will last 2 1/2 hours and will be timed and points given for every session jusy like an F1 event

There's a piccy of the Karts we'll be racing as well

I'll book the event then make arrangements with the circiut so you pay Personally

So who's gonna lift the first AONW Grand Prix winners trophy

Re: AONW Grand Prix

We'll probably be up for some nosh afterwards, it's my treat to my mate for his birthday afterall (which was last weekend).

Al give over saying your fat, you just weren't going over the crests fast enough

One of em was a bit hairy tbh, I got air and found that straight after the crest was a 90 degree right hander no wonder Steve kept backing off.

i was giving it everything when space opened up - unfortunately for me the three cars in front were all GTA's so my "everything" was hopelessly inadequate actually i did find a little bit of air on a couple of them, followed by the familiar scrape of undertray on tarmac

Just got in, and called......ansafone

I'll try tommorrow, gotta squeeze a call in on my 14hr shift (and miss the Inter match), oh how I envy those with internet access at work.
Cheers for the effort Tony. I'll bring some chilli beans with me (with fruit) for an extra TURBO boost for you.
