Tracks you'd most like to race at
Money and distance no object, which tracks would you most like to have a go at one day?
For me, it'd have to be Carole (for the unbelievable slipstreaming battles) and Rock Island (the biggest street race in the world) What about you? |

Three Sisters is another, unfortunately though they're on each cumpass point of Britain which is furthest from me
Buckmore is another id love to race at and im sure will do this year or next season. Thruxton looks good but not really suited for Rotax |

Sticking to the UK like Speedy, I'd say the only track in the North I haven't been to yet is rather tempting - Wombwell (for "The Wall", and the fact it's ACW).
Apart from that, I'd like to have a go at the other national tracks I haven't done yet - Clay, Llandow, Shenny, Rissy, Nutts, Whilton (will do in Oct), and Lydd. I would say Daytona too, cos it's supposed to be a really good circuit, but it's a shame there's nothing beyond prokart enduros there now. Oh yeah, and one last one... Silverstone Stowe!!! Can't wait to read all about the first MSA kart race there later this month |

Daytona Milton keynes is a fun track, really big hill which feels great to climb at 70mph over the blind crest at the top

I reckon the Gearbox's at Daytona would be funny. 100+mph possibly, dunno never been there though.

Yeh that would probably be about right. 250's are ment to be able to do 160mph which is about 290kph

290kph = 180mph
Yeah, US long circuit oval racing would be awesome! And in a similar vein - dirt oval racing would certainly be a bit different! I for one would like to try endurance karting. Might even do the Rowrah 24 Hours next year. But the pinnacle of that area of karting has to be without doubt the Le Mans 24 Hours |

Err 900 quid. but between 4 thats 225 each which i suppose is ok, but you have to pay for your own hotel/camping and trip over there. I think it would be better if we did do one to do it in the UK.

Keep the costs down dramatically. Perhaps an idea for the future. I was approached last week by a lad of my age who is moving in to Senior Max next year and looking at Trackside challenge (often seen in karting Magazine) that could be an idea to start a Ten-Tenths team..?

Go to Le Mans! My team did it in 2004 and it was an awesome experience. The place has an atmosphere all of its own AND, as long as the circuit gendarmes don't catch you - you can camp on the actual car circuit providing u get there early in the week.
