Fun Kart race at 3 Sisters

Redracer77 · 26 Dec 2003, 12:46 (Ref:820735)

I mentioned in another post about having a fun kart race at 3 sisters in Wigan, to see who has the best FF1600 championship (more fun than competition).

This could be a very fun kart race if different championships have a least 3 drivers in the race (with a minimum of 10 championships racing). You could get as many people as possible racing from NWFF, SOM, CCFF, Formula Honda, ARP F3, URS FF2000, BARC FR, Monoposto etc and with equal karts see who is the best!! Much cheaper than dragging your FF1600 cars to Spain!!! We could even get Journos and Marshals to enter teams?

Make it an enduro and have 3 drivers per 2 hour race. If more than 3 per champs then draw each team out of a hat to make it as even as possible..?

What do you think?

If we have some interest for a bit of preseason fun then post your ideas here

it sounds ambitious but if its a one off fun race, I'll be up for it

3 sisters, and thruxton or clay seem the best options.

I like it. If to make it more interesting, why not try to do some sort of charity thing, so for the racers its fun to see who's the best, but its for a good cause.

I'd be happy to take part.

Me too I am sure I can get a couple of other racers to come along, weekend's are best no holiday left!

Darcym check your PM's

I think it would be a good idea for a 2pm Sat race - enduro for 2 or 4 hours. 3 people per team (each team must have the same championship in). Mattray maybe you could get Gav in your team to stop you both from crashing into each other...! (christmas joke sorry...!!)

If we have 6 drivers from one championship then we should draw the teams out of a hat.

Redracer77 · 27 Dec 2003, 11:46 (Ref:821194)

Woody what type of car do you race - Formula Honda? If so try and get as many people as poss interested so your champs can have a couple of teams in the race.

goforit500 · 27 Dec 2003, 12:18 (Ref:821208)

I'd be up for it if you could stomach a tin-top incursion from the Ford Saloons....

Could suggest a great charity too if its' at 3 Sisters...Alder Hey Childrens hospital that looks after my 20 month old daughter who has real serious heart problems...

darcym · 27 Dec 2003, 13:29 (Ref:821236)

sounds like a good enough cause to me !

I'll race. Mattray...which team will you go on ????

1. Don't forget it goes dark early.
2. You'll need to speak to the Karting Manager - Ian Makinson - on 01942 270230, to check days and times available. I PM'd you a list of dates a couple of days ago.

jminsh · 27 Dec 2003, 14:47 (Ref:821270)

sounds like a bit of scouting for the UAE job to me REDRACER57 !!!!

jminsh · 27 Dec 2003, 14:50 (Ref:821272)

Why not wait untill the season starts and do it on a sunday after an Oulton FF1600 round get all the awaydayers to have a weekend of it !!

Redracer77 · 27 Dec 2003, 15:51 (Ref:821299)

I am up for that Goforit500. How would the charity thing work? Charge a little bit more than the entry fee?

Saloons would be welcome. The more the merrier!!!

J, team sorted for the Oman 24 hour race I think, may have one more space - you interested?

kartingdad · 27 Dec 2003, 16:18 (Ref:821318)

just a though redracer, have you ever seen the karts at three sisters??? Equal there not.

Actually, thats all good. Im sure our friend Mr Barfoot would "sort out" the NWFFORD guys before the rest of the teams. Three Sister it is then.......LOL

Redracer77 · 27 Dec 2003, 16:26 (Ref:821323)

Kartingdad, that is part of the fun of it (as long as we get a good kart!!!).

I think we should have it in Feb before the season starts? I will check the dates with Ian, cheers Diz.

Diz will you be able to send an email round to the NWFF troops when we get a date and see how many we could get. I assume Kartingdad will be sending the boys out to battle???

Combe boys could you contact some people as well. Could be a good launch day for www.clubff1600.co.uk but more importantly a day to have fun and raise a bit of cash and see which champ is the best on the day.

kartingdad · 27 Dec 2003, 16:31 (Ref:821328)

actually kartingdads jnr jnr made that last post, just using the cover of my father for, well, i dont know why really. it just seemed easier than signing up.

anyway, rest assured that we will be out. i have been round three sisters just a couple of times before so it should be a laugh.

Redracer77 · 27 Dec 2003, 16:36 (Ref:821334)

good lad Ian

diz · 27 Dec 2003, 16:41 (Ref:821338)

Ah.
A handicap element sounds good. The two KD offspring handicapped by having dad in their team.

kartingdad · 27 Dec 2003, 16:52 (Ref:821346)

well i suppose it needs to be made relatively fair diz, but the old man isnt too bad you know. Maybe if you came on our team too, (yes you can bring your cakes before you ask) the others may stand a chance.

Hang on, that sounded a bit like i was sticking up for my dad. whats going on???

Redracer77 · 27 Dec 2003, 16:57 (Ref:821347)

he can get his mates to enter a historics rally team he he I am not sure he is that old!!

kartingdad · 27 Dec 2003, 17:03 (Ref:821352)

dont you believe it.

Redracer77 · 27 Dec 2003, 17:04 (Ref:821354)

dhart · 27 Dec 2003, 17:12 (Ref:821357)

No thanks, Twin Engined Pro Karts are too quick for a dodderer like me.

Redracer77 · 27 Dec 2003, 17:58 (Ref:821387)

In the aid of charity Mr Diz I think you can find a kart somewhere!

mattray · 27 Dec 2003, 18:44 (Ref:821413)

Darcym, if you will let me in your team I will be happy to team up with you! I will ask Richard if he is up for it too.
Alder Hey Childrens hospital sounds good to me

Matt
