Anyone know the place in Livingston? It's in Deans - just remember vaguely speaking to the guys who run it and afaik they were both Scooby owners. Has anyone been to it and is it any good for a small group? Some of the FTO guys are having a Scottish meet and were going to go to Cambuslang's Karting place but I mentioned the one in Livingston after someone said we'd need guards for the cars in Cambuslang lol.

Any info would be great!

Thanks for the info guys - Raceland would be preferred but is quite a trek for the people coming from Aberdeen and Dundee etc.

The Livingston one did look quite small when I was in one day.

Yeah, I've been to the one in Livingston - went to Edinburgh for my Stag and best man organised everything through "Chilisauce", apparantly "Karting in Edinburgh" actually means Livingston!!??? :(:D

We went with about 16 guys and it was fine for that, we were split into 2 groups of 8 for the races as any more would have been a struggle on the course as it is a bit on the small side, but was good none the less.

Have only been karting twice, first time was outdoor up north of here at Boyndie which was a hoot so this was first time indoor and wasn't too shabby. Not that many places to overtake so leads to some interesting moves in the corners!!! :)

Raceland is very good, but the livi place is also fine. it was cheap and defo worth the money when i was there about six month ago.

But if you can get the folk to drive a bit further then raceland is a whole new ball game.

Excuse the thread hi-jack..

Never been karting myself but would love to get into it... Anyone got a decent list of Scottish tracks? The one at boyndie is only about 30 mins from me... Think there's still one up at Golspie IIRC.. (both outdoor tracks)

Boyndie is a private track which you have to be a member of to get on AFAIK

A fantastic day out would be an SIDC event at Raceland in Edinburgh, I'd be well up for that! (possible Elgin/Highland day out in the summer)

Aye that raceland track looks pretty decent! Been down to the track at thruxton once to watch my brother race in an event.. Really need to get into this, and spend some money on something else other than the scoob for a change :stoned: Getting to the end of my self-mod list now :banana:

There's just sod all in this part of scotland for motorsport.. :(

ok, just back from Raceland and it's awesome - very professional setup, everything is well maintained and the helmets and overalls look good and don't stink like other places!!

Outdoor karting was great fun = we paid £25 for 10 mins on, 10mins break then another 10 mins - 1st time karting for me and I just got a feel for the handling but was aching already after the first session!! lol

2nd session was much better and we were all keen to go back on but decided against it and went in to get food and watch the stag do guys on the indoor track.

Well up for a day (or night) there if anyone fancies it - a bigger group with a competitive aspect to it all would make it even more fun!

There was also a WR1 there which I think is the owner's. :thumbup:

Would LOVE it! I already said it on your WIY thread, so I am not going to repeat myself and be even more boring than I already am.
