Out of the two I'd rather drive yours, it doesn't scream pretentious prick.

Could do with a new mirror if you're fussy.

Pleased with 7th place out of 31 racing. A few were professionals to. The boy was 17th, son in law 22nd and nephew 25th.
400cc karts with a 60mph top speed. The limited them to 40mph though as the track was wet as fuck. 15min qualifying and 30min race. Very hard work and I suspect I'll be stiff as a board tomorrow.
Brilliant fun and we'll be doing it again.

We were all dripping with sweat and I'm still knackered. I'm organising going with some mates. They do paintballing, 4x4 off roading and mx riding all on different tracks.
I will be fucked tomorrow like. Every muscle is aching, even my hands.

I bet lol. https://www.herefordshireraceway.org.uk I went there a few years back, a great couple of hours but certainly not cheap. Sounds like the one you went to is a proper job!

You'll feel like you've been in a car crash come the morning :lol:

Amazing how much kinetic energy one's body absorbs crashing even a moderately quick Kart into some tyres. Even in my 20s it hurt like fuck the next day.

I span out a few times in qualifying before the track was drying out. Violent af. The track was 1.2km and varied but you start to learn which bends you can take flat out. I was drifting on certain corners. The tyres were melting towards the end firing blobs into my visor. Everyone should give it a go. Great fun.

I did some at a works do quite a few years ago but felt sick all of the time, I guess that it was some sort of motion sickness. Maybe my big head bobbed around too much?Anyway that's my excuse for doing pretty shit.

They said if you felt sick you had to pit. If you spew in the helmet there was a £40 surcharge.
