VPCUK goes Karting - Milton Keynes 18/10/14

[V70 Graham]

I'm just putting this out there to see how many people would be interested in a go-karting event which could possibly be combined with a meet/meal sometime later in the year (I'm provisionally thinking Oct 11th-12th or Oct 25th-26th)

To get off the ground I will need at least 10-15 names who can confirm attendance.

The cost of this is dependant on the event we choose but will be somewhere between £50-£80 per person.

There are a number of circuits around the country, I will be looking at the list of names and deciding on a venue to suit them (hopefully)

I'll start you off.....

And I'm going to whoop you both, no racing in straight lines, corners matter. Lol

[Jamest5r]

So how about mk on the 18th??

[Pinup_gal]

You're all screwed if Wayne goes, he's a total animal ;)

[smithy]

I might be up for this date depending and jack possible too .you don't need a licence do you for karting

I can do corners, I didn't notice you on the track at Trax last year. :P

[stribo]

Not generally, unless they're extra special karts, no, my 13 year old niece has been karting.

Why would he risk his pride and joy amongst 30 odd chavs when he spends half his life on a track in f types lol :)

[Blackdog]

Different tracks have different age limits so be careful and read the venue's small print. MK for example have a separate junior track with low powered karts. Rye house they use the full track but in special junior sessions and the karts have roll bars again under powered.

[V70 Graham]

At MK there are three age categories, to drive with adults you need to be over 16 though no special license is needed.

I have been in contact with Daytona at MK this morning, I will update the thread when I get home.

[The Flying Moose]

Ill mark myself down as a provisional as I dont have access to my diary at the moment and have no idea what I'm working... besides somebody needs to prove Neal isnt the fastest on track ;)

Daytona at mk used to be the james hunt racing centre when it first opened. they had single seater formula ford style cars you could drive.
my dad's mate used to be the manager when it opened and he got a free session.

I might turn up to spectate if it goes ahead at mk not too far from here.

Just spectate :troutslap

As I had quite a response showing an interest in this I called 'Daytona' at Milton Keynes this morning for some additional info, basically we could have sole use of the track for their 'Daytona Challenge' which consists of all race gear, safety briefing, trophies for the top 3 drivers and a podium photo presentation plus the following racing action : :B_steerin

Daytona Challenge
This exciting multi race format is perfect for groups of mixed experience and ability with 2 qualifying races and plenty of opportunities to move up the leader board. Each driver will take to the circuit for a short practice to warm up, learn the circuit and get used to the 50mph twin petrol engine karts. We then grid up for 2 individual qualifying heats with rotating starting positions – in race 1 if you start at the front, then in race 2 you would start from the back…
This gives all competitors a real chance to end up on pole position for the Grand Final – all drivers qualify.
10 minute practice for every driver
2 x 10 minute heats races
15 minute Grand Final
£62.50 + VAT (£75) per driver for the first 20 drivers
£46.88 + VAT (£56.25) per additional driver, maximum 30

There is an option for a cheaper package but this would only be for a 10 minute practice followed either by a 20 minute race (£50 inc vat) or 30 minute race (£60 inc vat)

I am therefore proposing the 'Daytona Challenge' is what we go for.

We need 20 names to be able to book this so I have amended the list below to those who wish to drive, obviously spectators are more than welcome.

PLEASE add/remove your name from the list dependant on your wishing to take part, the date for this will be Saturday 18th October I cannot secure a time till I book but am hoping for an afternoon slot.

11. Shinsplintz 101
12. Jamest5r
13. smithy
14. Jack
15. 70fan
16. The Moose

To book I will need a 50% deposit from everyone, I will not be booking till I have everybody's money, I will look at the list at 1800 Monday 11th Aug if there are 20 names I will pm everyone asking for their deposits, the remaining 50% is due no later than 10 days prior to the event (8th Oct)

One point to note is that if we have anybody drop out after their deposit is paid it will not be returned, furthermore if that leaves us with less than 20 drivers the remaining drivers will have to cover the additional cost.

i.e. If 1 driver drops out the shortfall of £37.50 will be divided between the other 19 (£2) and if 4 drivers drop out the shortfall of £140 will be divided between the other 16 (£8.75) so it is important to remember this when putting your name down.

Obviously if we still have 20 drivers with any drop-outs the price will stay the same, I think it only fair to point this out from the start as I will not be making up any shortfall out of my own pocket.

Hopefully we can get 20 names down so this will go ahead, it would be nice to find out VPC's best driver when the cars/karts are (almost) the same :B_thumb:

[70fan]

Looking forward to this massively, have blocked it out in the diary :)

I am thinking that I might venture onwards to the indoor snow slope after we're done with the karting/meet up depending on what others are doing :)

So does that mean if you're the 21st to 29th person on the list you pay less than the first 20?

As a couple of you have already paid me I will accept deposits if people want to send them to me via Paypal (as a gift please) the quicker I get them in the quicker I book I suppose.

Please PM me for my Paypal address if you don't know it, though I am busy tonight and most of tomorrow so don't panic if I don't get back to you straight away.

We still need another 2 names to bring it up to the 20 required (and no one to drop out lol)

[V70 Graham]

Just a reminder that there is a week to go now before I will be looking to see if we can go ahead with this, we do need 20 confirmed racers to book sole use of the track.

I am also now taking deposits as I will be looking to book our slot with Daytona as soon as I can after I get the 20 names, obviously they will be returned should we not reach the required numbers.

[JUDGENINJA]

I think I can fill with two non-VPC members to make up the numbers..

Hold them in reserve until the list gains speed.

:(

Bring her as well, could be her anniversary present.;)

[V70 Graham]

Down to 18 and 1 possible, still looking for a few more names.

[M-R-P]

Bring her as well, could be her anniversary present.;)

You've not seen her driving, you wouldn't want her on the same track mate.

Besides, I'd be too tempted to put her into the tyre wall :D

You wouldn't dare, anyway, you wouldn't be able to get a crash helmet on with her thumb pressed against your forehead. ;)

As I had quite a response showing an interest in this I called 'Daytona' at Milton Keynes this morning for some additional info, basically we could have sole use of the track for their 'Daytona Challenge' which consists of all race gear, safety briefing, trophies for the top 3 drivers and a podium photo presentation plus the following racing action :

Daytona Challenge
This exciting multi race format is perfect for groups of mixed experience and ability with 2 qualifying races and plenty of opportunities to move up the leader board. Each driver will take to the circuit for a short practice to warm up, learn the circuit and get used to the 50mph twin petrol engine karts. We then grid up for 2 individual qualifying heats with rotating starting positions – in race 1 if you start at the front, then in race 2 you would start from the back…
This gives all competitors a real chance to end up on pole position for the Grand Final – all drivers qualify.
10 minute practice for every driver
2 x 10 minute heats races
15 minute Grand Final
£62.50 + VAT (£75) per driver for the first 20 drivers
£46.88 + VAT (£56.25) per additional driver, maximum 30

There is an option for a cheaper package but this would only be for a 10 minute practice followed either by a 20 minute race (£50 inc vat) or 30 minute race (£60 inc vat)

I am therefore proposing the 'Daytona Challenge' is what we go for.

We need 20 names to be able to book this so I have amended the list below to those who wish to drive, obviously spectators are more than welcome.

PLEASE add/remove your name from the list dependant on your wishing to take part, the date for this will be Saturday 18th October I cannot secure a time till I book but am hoping for an afternoon slot.
The top package sounds good to me

It's not in Essex, so Kingsford won't be able to make it.;)

You can pick me up from the local bus station and I may give you a chance to win lol

[stribo]

At least I'd be able to close the visor - bignose :haha:

I have no problems with the helmet, whereas I think you'd struggle to find a kart that would take your weight. ;)

[M-R-P]

I have no problems with the helmet, whereas I think you'd struggle to find a kart that would take your weight. ;)

My weight has never held me back on the karts before mate. (my urge to drift often gets me in trouble tho)

[Kingsford G]

I have no problems with the helmet, whereas I think you'd struggle to find a kart that would take your weight. ;)
If he doesnt blow the engine in one than still gonna be the last to the finish (that is if there is one for him to fit in in the 1st place):hidesbehi.How about u drive yr starlet instead?

Er......you get a bit wet !

Seriously though, rain doesn't stop the action, they very rarely cancel due to weather, I guess maybe a thunderstorm/lightning would stop play for a bit.

[t5 pete]

That's awesome then

[JUDGENINJA]

Mr G, deposit sent for three extra places. I awaiting on a couple of others....

Well - I ran the idea past the missus, as "Something different for our anniversary"...


I can't repeat what she said but I don't think she's keen on karting.

Just been on to Daytona, we definitely need 20 for this to go ahead, we're at 17 so far with smithy/Jack paying me tomorrow.

I've heard nothing from either Emlyn or V70fan.....

Anybody else interested ?

[V70 Graham]

I have provisionally booked a 1500 start (they don't have anything between 1200 and 1500) and again asked them about the weather.....

"To confirm – Yes, the event would still go ahead in the rain. The only time we would really stop is if it was snowing, or there was a torrential thunderstorm right above us, in which case we would postpone temporarily and then continue once we deemed it safe to run again. If it is raining on the day we will supply full wet weather race overalls to go over the race suits."

Is this due to numbers (needs to be 20 for competition to work) or money (needs to bring in at least £1500)?

Don't panic, you'll have your opportunity to be bitch whipped by Frankie (and a few others too I bet)

[Santa]

When does.it need booking Graham? ( I assume after tomorrow if Smithy is paying tomorrow?)

If it comes down to the wire I can buy the spare place which keeps it reserved if someone can make it closer to the time?

I certainly won't be racing, but if I'm very bored I might pop in. I've only got 3 mountable gopro's, but filming from the phantom could be interesting if they'll let me use it

[V70 Graham]

......but filming from the phantom could be interesting if they'll let me use it

Let me know if your coming Pedro and I'll ask them for you sir !

[p fandango]

Let me know if your coming Pedro and I'll ask them for you sir !
go on then, if they don't mind me filming i'll come along.

I'll have 3 GoPro's that can be kart mounted (i've got roll-bar clamps & suction cups) & the Phantom, i've only got 1 battery so will only be able to get 15-18minutes in the air. I'll happily share any video's with them for free if they want to use them, & obviously won't be doing anything daft like chasing the karts around the track

[jdavis]

That sounds great Pedro. Can't see them having an issue unless they offer snaps themselves.

[V70 Graham]

This is the reply I received.....

"Hi Graham,

GoPro’s are absolutely fine to use. They would need to be securely fitted and approved by the Race Director and/or engineering.

As far as the Phantom goes, we are more than happy for him to use it, but it is our understanding that you would need to seek clearance from the rail authorities to use it due to the close proximity of the rail lines to the track.

Kind regards,"

Bloody hell imagine the health and safety/risk assessment forms you'd have to fill in to get that clearance :), but you never know worth an ask :)

CAA regulations say as long as i'm 50metres away from property, people, vehicles etc outside of my control then i'm ok. I'll bring a tape measure lol

[p fandango]

i've just had a look on Googlemaps & according to them the site is about 170metres wide, so theirs 70metres safe zone in the middle away from the A5 & from the railway the other side

Sounds good to me, looks like we'll have some video then.

i've not done much filming of specific subjects with the Phantom, mainly just general messing around so theirs no guarantee's how well the video will come out from that. Looking forward to trying it tho
