Karting? In the winter? You bet.

If you've tried Karting in the dry or indoors, you REALLY need to give it a go when it's cold or much preferably, when it's wet. They will keep you on slicks, oh yes.

Suddenly your 4-7Hp Go-Kart feels like a 600Bhp LM GT race car, I kid you not (well, I'm sure it would if I had ever driven one!). You will be amazed at the difference.

Keeping it on the track is a hoot and don't worry about hurting yourself. You're going much slower and spins don't often have you even leaving the track. Full on 180-degree powerslides are easily achievable and maintainable at will. A race is won not by the fastest person, but by the one who stays facing the correct way the longest.

Obviously getting it organised for the wet is going to be a real hit and miss affair, but Karting is Karting anyway.

I'm also thinking of Daytona again as I know from experience that even if it's hammering it down, they will still put you out on slicks.

So, come and av a go if ya think yer 'ard enuff!

Im always up for karting - Civic and myself had a race in the recent fog that was a new experience and deffo worth a repeat!

Welformed your better off renaming this if your thinking of daytona in Milton Keynes as Midlands wont attract as many people

How do I do that if you have already posted? I don't think I can.

Strange. I omitted the MK bit to remove snobbery, not add it! lol

But I'll go wherever, doesn't have to be MK. A mate informed me of quite a decent track in Daventry, that's probably less up it's own a$$ than Daytona and has a few challenging corners. Probably about 40 secs a lap (daytona being about 1:10) so it's still a decent size. He's done Karting in the wet there.

I would be up for this, sounds good fun, like karting in Turkey where they throw buckets of water at you as you go round. Health and safety piishh.

That sounds ace, though obviously a human cooling thing than a track challenge thing.

I've only done Karting in the wet once and it was amazing fun. Completely unexpected. I nearly passed out a few times through laughing so hard while doing massive powerslides or watching people spin, but it's doing vigourous exercise and I needed to draw breath! lol

It was probably THE most fun I've ever had! AGAAAIN!

It'll teach many of these fwd scrabble wagon people a hell of a lot about throttle control and smoothness too, if you want to be serious...
