VPCUK goes Karting Part 2 - Milton Keynes Sat Aug 8th

[V70 Graham]

As I had quite a few people asking me yesterday about another Karting event I called 'Daytona' at Milton Keynes this morning for some info, basically it's the same as last time, 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

As you can see the prices are the same as last year.

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

PLEASE add your name to the list if you wish to take part, the date for this will be Saturday 8th August I cannot secure a time till I book but am hoping for an afternoon slot.

To book I will need a 50% deposit from everyone, I will not be booking till I have everybody's deposits so please get them to me via Paypal (as a friend) as soon as you can please.

If you mean the karting date it's Sat Aug 8th

[JUDGENINJA]

Yep, but that day might have gone by the time you book it. I'm already paying for four people to go..

[Nealevo]

I hope not, it's the only Saturday I'm home in August

True Wayne it might, but that's the date chosen, if it's not available if/when I have enough names I'll simply return everyone's deposits, I certainly won't be changing the date and expecting anyone who's given me a deposit to be forced to make it or lose their money.

[JUDGENINJA]

OK, cool I'll text him now...

We are still stuck on 15 which is 5 short, if anyone else fancies a great day out now's the time to add your name, I'll give it another week then I'll be refunding the deposits if we don't get enough :frown:

[V70 Graham]

Only a couple of days left before I have to admit defeat and return your deposits.

I have again spoken to Daytona today and the only time we could book with 15 is the day before Friday 7th Aug starting at around 1930 to be finished just before 2200 if you could let me know if this would be possible for you I'd appreciate it.

Night racing (well dusk that time of year) could be fun. Will check :)

[Jamest5r]

Sorry mate but due to never knowing when I can finish work Friday wouldn't work

[V70 Graham]

Sorry mate but due to never knowing when I can finish work Friday wouldn't work

No worries Jim it was a long shot I know what with work and the group being so spread out.....that's that idea gone then.

[JUDGENINJA]

Fine for me.. Either way..

Trying to get a couple more still.

[JUDGENINJA]

Potentially one more so far.

[jdavis]

Its Natalie's birthday on the 7th. I was pushing it going karting the day after, don't think she'd take to it on her birthday.

[jdavis]

One of my mates will come down on the Saturday and do it as well if that helps?

[jdavis]

Any updates Graham?

[V70 Graham]

We're still at 15

I've been a bit busy this weekend as Dad was taken into hospital, I'll either be booking it Thursday (if we get 20) or refunding the deposits.

[V70 Graham]

I have now refunded the deposits, Daytona would not budge on the 20 drivers needed.

Sorry for the delay, as some of you know I have been busy this week with family matters.

No worries on the delay, I'm sure everyone appreciates you have more pressing matters to focus on.

Many thanks for trying to organise this :)

[Nealevo]

Hopefully things go well with your dad, fingers crossed

[jdavis]

Sorry to hear about your Dad.

Disappointed that we couldn't get the 20 required :-(
