Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong
Tell her a remap is just having your satnav updated.....

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
I think I can fill with two non-VPC members to make up the numbers..
Hold them in reserve until the list gains speed.
