why are there mini motos on the site rather than karts? 
Just read the rest of the site - cool are we doing a full grand prix?
If yes thats brilliant 
quote:
Full Grand Prix include:
Practice laps
Heats
Quarter finals for all
Semi finals
Finals
+ cups and bubbly
Lots for your money's worth.
Hmm, tis a shame I think the karts will be a bit gutless (i.e. won't accel brilliantly) but who cares - I'm up for a laugh!!!
Cheers for arranging this guys, haven't been karting since I hurt my hand in spain doing it!

Hmm cool - it also says 'overalls are advised' - and there's a pic of someone on track without overalls on, meaning they're not compulsary. I hate em - too hot, plus you feel like a prick 
I'm well excited hehe.

They also do mini motorbikes and acceleration isnt to bad but come on its only £30 what do you want mini ferrari's
They do provide overalls and i think you DO have to where them, and trust me you wont be hot, its in an out building which is pretty damn cold i can tell ya

Grand Prix is definate a plus - since that means we can all learn the track in practice and then get racing, some times it takes me time to get used to it all.
How long is it all going to take you think? how long is each heat in minutes etc?
£30 sounds good value.

Practice is only a few laps

When i week a few weeks ago it was about 2 hours, each heat is only 5 laps or so, its very well organised, but the only thing is there is two sets of karts ones faster than the others, one set is used for one race then the next set for the next race is well organised as one race is finishing and going into pits the next is rolling out to start line

I thought it was very good value when i went last time, considering the track time you get and the fact that 1st 2nd 3rd get a little trophy and 1st a little bottle of sparkling wine

Thinking about it, Jase might be bringing Lucie anyway so it might be down to his response too?

P.S. if you really get stuck for numbers on the karting - I could probably get my sisters b/friend who lives in weston to come down if your mate can't make it. Or if someone else drops out.

I don't know where the maccy D's is - is it on the sea front? I think I kinda know how to get there, I can always ask my sis or her b/friend.
Dunno whether my sisters b/friend will be coming karting - I haven't actually asked him yet - was just gonna ask him on the day since anything could change between now and then - i.e. someone else wanting to go.
Though he probably would be up for it.

I was mistaken here; my mate will still be coming. Thought the text was from him, but it was from Sims!
