Nothing amazing I don't think. They got new ones recently so should still be fairly nippy rather than the old ones having faster ones and slower ones even though they were the same engines.
They have Pros and Sports I think they're called, Sports do 80mph Pros do 70mph. Although maximum you'll ever hit is close to 60mph by the end of the straight, think my top speed is 58mph as there's not many straights

Whilton Mill isn't too far from you mate, and its a brilliant track, and even more interesting in the wet!
I'm not sure what their karts are like though, as I've only raced there in the BUKC using Club100 karts.
