Welcome to the forum,
Have a look at this thread: http://tentenths.com/forum/showthread.php?t=111599 Arrive and Drive championships are the way to go for someone of limited experience like yourself. Due to your location and fund limitations, i'd probably recommend: http://www.covkartsport.com/ Hope this helps. |

Hopefully DWF1 will be able to provide us with the 2011 Winter and Summer series dates hot off the press at the weekend, Club100 already have theirs out - should be plenty of scope between them for all those karters who have'nt the time, means or inclination to run their own kart - or indeed just want a level playing field.

The test days will be mainly for the junior class as whilton state that you must be over 16 to go in their karts without an msa licence.
Some good tracks for next season. If anyone is interested, contact Nick Stanley through the website with any questions or any applications for the 2011 season. It was a record breaking season in 2010 and we wouldn't want anyone to miss out oh yeah and thanks to ghinzani for placing up the calendar before I had chance to log on! |

I'm over the moon with that calendar.
I've done a few races with Covkartsport this season (having done Club 100 on and off over the previous 4 years) and I've loved it. Very well organised, friendly bunch and competitive drivers at the sharp end. I've definately been bitten by the bug and am going back for more next year. Even better for me is that, working some weekends, I'd feared I'd have to miss lots of rounds. however with that calendar its only Hooton Park and the Welsh Open that I'd miss so I'd accept that. And a trip to Lakeside too - one of my local tracks and a worth addition I'd say! |

out of interest, approximately how much track time per meeting would I get with covkartsport? I am thinking I may well combine both! The winter series Whilton mill race, Buckmore club100, the main covkartsport meeting at Whilton, Bayford club100, covkartsport Rye house, Ellough park club 100, covkartsport lakeside, club 100 Bayford and club100 Buckmore! Sounds like a plan...will have to see how my finances hold up though!

Club 100 seems very convenient but it looks like you would be alot less likly to win as i imagine there are some very good drivers that are already dominating the series. |

Its where I plan on doing Tkm if I get sorted in time for next season. Want to do a few arrive and drives as well so I will probably give club 100 a crack.

The winter series is normally a short qualifying/practise session (about 10 to 15 mins) and then two ten mins sprints. The grid is reversed for the second race. The summer series is three races of between 8-10 laps each, depending on the circuit. There is a short 3 lap practise before you go straight into your first race. PM me with any questions or e-mail me on david-whitehouse@hotmail.co.uk |

I did Ancaster (the first one), Rednal and Rye House in the Heavyweights, with varied results. Looking forward to getting fully into it next year, already started trying to trim those last few pounds at the gym!

Don't worry! I had varied results in those three too. Actually Rye House was my worst ever day results-wise since I started karting. Can't wait till the season starts again....I'm hoping to put the pounds on so I am a clear heavyweight when the season starts

I've created seperate threads about Covkartsport and the BRKC to avoid some confusion of differing ongoing championships being discussed here. Happy for this one to be used for other new ones and discussion of relative merits etc. Also if anyone wants a Club100 seperate thread or D-Max let me know.

14th April 2011, karting race at Whilton Mill Circuit
Hi, this is an open invite to anyone interested for a race me and some friends are having at whilton mill circuit in Northamptonshire on the 14th April
basically at the moment we are struggling for numbers and would like to get a full grid if possible. We are doing a 40min race, with 20mins practice on the National Circuit. i believe the price is £65 per person. Anyone thats interested can either email me on lifetheuniverseandeverything@hotmail.co.uk or message me on this forum. I will also add, that obviously i'd like my friends to come first, so it may be late notice that any proper invites are given, apologies for this i just felt it was better to get an invite out on the forum sooner rather than later.

Club100: 60 minute challenge
Hi all,
Just wondered if anyone on here is doing the club100 60min challenge this year? We are entered in round 2 on the 2nd April at Buckmore park and hope to do all the others, we missed the first round as we only found out about it after round one had taken place! The format looks good and the price seems pretty good aswell, as you can have either one or two driver teams Liam |

Newbie looking for advice
Some friends and I have taken up karting as a weekly hobby over at a local indoor track. Looking for tips on getting better, my best currently is a 44.483 and want to get down to the 41s.
Here's a track map (only run it counter clockwise so far): http://http://www.ontrackkarting.com...rackmap-lg.png I think I'm losing the most time on the left half of the track Thanks -scooter |

Which way does it go?
Very hard to give you advice as i have not seen you drive or seen the track/surface with my own eyes. The one bit of advice i can give for indoor karting is MOMENTUM. Keep it smooth, keep the thing rolling. Sliding (wildly) kills it. |
