Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 anybody been? on monday nights they do a 'turn up and get karting' style deal, 100 laps on the 400m court in 40mph karts for 32 bucks. I'm going back to knockhill later this year for some serious kartin' with track racing mother fuckers, so I need to get some practices in. i think i'm heading on monday, is it as good a deal as it sounds?

Lemonade Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 I was there a few months back for a stag weekend, it was fucking ace. There were ten of us, the karts are new and faster than the old ones by quite some way, they really really move and there's some brilliant corners on the track you can fly round. They say no contact but you can get away with a bit of rubbing - and you can batter your mate off into the barrier at top speed - if you make it look like an accident! We did 50 laps and it took about 30 minutes, plus we had the warm up and qualifying, it was about 38 for that, but we had booked the whole place for ourselves.Highly recommend it. I was sore as fuck the next day though, mainly because the whole time I was racing, pretty much every muscle in my body was tensed up through pure adrenaline.

Guest b-bert Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 sounds like a pretty good deal. If you are going proper kart racing will these karts not seem a bit slow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 i'm not sure the ones i was using at knockhill were much faster...kartstart does have 70mph ones but these require a 'license' to be acquired first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest b-bert Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Oh right i thought you had meant you were entering a racing championship some of those karts do 100+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus.H.Christ Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 How long does 100 laps roughly last? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 god knows, but it's 40km in total, so maybe half an hour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundian Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 god knows, but it's 40km in total, so maybe half an hour? At top speed all the way you'd only get 32 km in 30 minutes, and then there's the corners to take into account, and this:We did 50 laps and it took about 30 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
