I'm in, you name the time and the place.

Eastern Creek Karts have a mini Grand Prix option for ~$150. Two extra heats for an extra $40 Smiley

Every couple of months somebody says they are going to organise a day out, but then nothing comes of it.

So when you mentioned karts everybody got all excited again.

Hugh, you probably want to talk to Sydmonster.

Anyone else?

Well Vince once owned a professional go-karting team (may be a slight exaggeration) ... I think Mick was looking into it for good, clean family fun ... and Super was organising the karting day.

Problems being Vince is AWOL/MIA ... Mick doesn't have a computer ... and Super is trading in for an old Jap project bike and has lost the love.

Yeah I've pitched it a few times getting a Kart day together but most people find it hard to give me
a day/date that will work.
If I just post one up and say this is when I'll organize it how many say they'll be up for it.

Super (if he still loves us)

Who else will be up for it.

If we have 12-20 people and go to EC they have the fastest hire Karts in Sydney. 13-15HP
I think Picton's are the usual 9HP that most people use. It is a better track but EC have two to choose from.
There top track is the better of the two, it has a fast downhill section that it is real fun.

I'm up for a blast on a kart!

Kembla karts have twin 4 stroke karts which do get along quite well!

Picton have the single engine karts which are a little slow going up the hill straight.

Sounds like Eastern Creek is the go! waytogo

Whats the go about licences??

Pretty sure you don't need a licence. Prices are from 140-190, 140 being a 2 heat weekday session, 190 being a 4 heat weekend session Wink
