It’s time for a meet.

The plan is to attend xtreme karting in Falkirk for a mini grand prix on Sunday the 24th Feb. Details of the race style are available on the link below.

Look to meet about 11 o’clock, have a chat and kick some tyres for a little bit, then go karting. Then find somewhere to grab a bit to eat. I thought possibly the Falkirk Wheel might be a good place to gather afterwards but don’t know the area at all.

We’ll need somewhere in the region of 10 -12 people to make it a go-er. Obviously forum members, but feel free to invite others; friends/girlfriends/whatever. Basing, for the moment, prices as quoted on the website (so best part of £40) although I will try and negotiate a discount once I know there is sufficient interest. It’ll probably involve providing a deposit at the time of booking so be prepared to hand over some cash to confirm your place.

Can we make this a saturday???

Ross

I would hope to be up for this, should have at least one other with me
Will watch this for a while before I commit though , looking in to the possibility of a holiday late feb/march at the mo.

I should be able to make it .

Baz

i should be able to make it to

i could make the sat but not the sunday

I definately cant make that date, as i work every sunday and i already have the 17th and 2nd march off. So getting the 24th off would be impossible.

Ross

Count me in.

i can't go karting, i get too competitve and break things/people.

Thats alright alaina..if we can't practice road rage on the public road then where else can we do it?

put mee doon fur it!

Any more word on what`s happening with this

Baz

Ahhhh .....that is a question for our local friendly *Scottish board member and events coordinator and organiser person *

Ok, so far I have:

mattB
Baz76
daz
fiat131turbo
Kelv27

Confirmed as intersted, which isn't enough. So either we need another few confirmed attendees in the next few days or I'll look at changing the date for this. I'm just a bit weary of it slipping as it'll get close to the Big Meet and there's some Crail dates in the mix there somewhere too.

Beware of this flying scotsman he may even win it if i can`t make it up...

Ok, I think perhaps I was a bit ambitious in the timescale for organising this. I’ll put it on hold for the moment and maybe we can go karting some time between the Big Coupe Meet and the SICD, probably on a Saturday by the looks of things.

In the mean time, I’d still be up for a meet/drive/lunch on the 24th. Happy to head down to the Central Belt if one of the guys around there wants to suggest a location or intended route? Perhaps head up the West Coast a little bit, something like that?

Can we not make it the 23rd?

Ross

I have no objection to changing it and have a meet on the Saturday, but it depends on what others want to do.

depends on the time of the sat meet for me,but let me know!

I`ll be fine for either day

Baz

I'm more of a Sunday person

On a serious note now Kev, do you honestly think you could handle the power of these machines.

Hmmm maybe.....as long they come in a non turbo variety

No wankers invited

Turbo's only.

Ross

P.S. anyone think a trip in around stirling would be a good idea? Allow the aberdeen boys and dundee boys a break?

Or what about a meal in perth/dundee?

Ross

p.s. the road to oban is a beasting good road and some good places to eat in Oban

same here as i work on saturdays

he he , its all about power to weight ratio and being a porky bar steward hinders me a bit . I did win the knockhill karting a couple of years back (better karts i think) oh and about 1 1/2 stone lighter at the time :P.

Ok, looking to this weekend we’ll keep the day as Sunday so as not to disappoint anyone who was previously in for this meet. Somewhere central as a meeting location but it’d be good if someone from that area would like to suggest where (we could go for the Falkirk wheel or somewhere like that if you want) and probably a route for a little drive.

Matt, is this confirmed?

We’re not going karting but I would like to have a meet. I’m heading down to deliver a set of wheels to Baz in any case, but might as well make it a worthwhile trip…

Karting I'll look to get organised in the next couple of months.
