KARTING - TODAY - FINAL DETAILS

[dave_morgan]

Just a quick post to remind everyone that the karting event is TODAY (Saturday).

Event starts at 3:30pm, so please try and be there for 3:00pm so we can get everyone signed in and suited up etc.

All you need to bring is a decent pair of shoes (no sandles please !) . Everything else is supplied (Helmet & race suit).

If anyone doesn't know where Raceland is, just head South from Edinburgh on the A1 and look for the signs saying 'KARTING CENTRE'. You really can't miss it. If you hit Haddington, you've gone too far! It's about 10 minutes from the New Craighall area. Full directions can be found on the Raceland website (http://www.raceland.co.uk).

I have PM's or emailed my mobile number to everyone I can so you can contact me if you're not going to make it at the last minute, or are running late for any reason. If you didn't get my number, phone anyone else on the list and they will probably have my number (Spooks, JohnS and Dougster definitely have it).

I am still un-decided how the "team" aspect of the day will work, but will give it some more thought tonight and tomorrow morning. In the mean-time, please work out who's team you'd like to be in. We have a lot of people who haven't put down a team yet, but at the moment we have the beginnings of teams for :

- Subaru (11 drivers)

- Elise (2 drivers)

- TVR (3 drivers)

- Ford/RS (2 drivers)

- Unknown or less than 2 (21 drivers)

Maybe we'll end up with Japan vs Britain vs Europe. Votes and ideas on a postcard please !

Anyway, it's looking like a great day of racing ahead, so see you all at 3:00.

Oh final note. The event is likely to be around 3 hours long, perhaps slightly longer as there is more than the original 32 drivers now, so expect to be at the track until around 7:00. We will then be retiring to the Stables Bar in Edinburgh for some food and Apres-Kart refreshments. Please note that there is a good selection of food at Raceland too, so you don't need to fill up before going there.

See you all later today, and if you have any last minute additions, please text me or phone me just in case I don't get online in the morning.

Cheers !
