Yep. Great fun but I'm too heavy to get the best out of a small kart.

Went to a corporate karting do last week near Daventry.
The invited guests were the good and great in motoring ( Mercedes / Prodrive / MIRA etc etc ) while I was a lowly architect as a guest of the organiser.

Out of 36, I came 35th, - I suspect everybody else was a frustrated racing driver !

Quote of the night I overheard was ...
" Who do you work for..."
" Prodrive "
" What do they do ?"
" Have you heard of WRC and the Le Mans Aston Martin?  ( Yeah )"
" Well - thats us "
Embaressed silence and punter slowly exits left...
And you know what they call a... a... a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?

Do they still do the Sand racing on the Beach? As I remember it  (going back 25 years) it was at the north of the Island and they used similar kit to Grass tracking.

OK very good, but who or what is tarporley? And what class of cart are you racing? Whilton Mill, we have not raced there but I understand its a challenge. Enjoy! 8)
