Fat gut affecting the acceleration more like.

Could be that as well as I was staying at the local Hilton at the time and we also had an open bar.

I only did 125 and that was farking quick enough. It wasn't anything organised just a work-mate had a Rotax and used to carry it about in a Sooty van to various circuits on a come-as-you-please basis. Think we went somewhere out near Castle Combe way, it was a long time ago now (hence the Sooty van).

Doing it on Sunday mornings usually involved battling a hangover and early start - not a great combination to thump into a tyre wall. It's amazing how much more circumspect one is about cornering speed and lift-off when there is no external bodywork other than your own....

I've done indoor petrol carts, it was a right laugh. I won every race I was in except the final. That was because I was trying to do a fastest lap every lap and over did it into a hairpin.

And highly explosive. The manufacturers didn't want this change forced on them, but EU.....

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.

Its been years since I've been there. Good to see it wasn't closed down.

It fit in well at tescos earlier. I had a good look underneath too and it's spotless surprisingly.

As horrible as it is, it's the best looking car there.

World love my own kart and somewhere to run it. Last time I checked they're were very few places that would do run what you brung type events so if your kart wasnt in one of the classes you were stuffed

Judging by the day, time and radio channel you were just in time for Serious Wobbin, no G.
