Why not just have one big meet in the centre of the country instead of this Ni , Irl stuff its a small place and the more the merrier there is a serious go karting track in edgeworthstown along with a paintballing range right beside it same crowd run it it would be a laugh with a hape of people.

i agree the "meets" like standing round chatting rely on large numbers and and all ireland meet certainly provides that. BUT the northern karting meet was organised by weejohn a couple of years ago and went down really well, we probably have the numbers locally for a karting day. though im sure this meet is ofcourse open to anyone. likes of johnnyC or aiden arent too far south to make this without great hassle.

but def for the meets like enfield ballymena or dundalk, they would be nice if all rolled together.

Here's an indoor track in Dublin http://www.kylemore-karting.com/temp/index.php

Its a bit pricey that one Richie at 50 Euros.

The one we used before is still only 30 Sterling, for 5 xp ractice laps, 5 x 7 lap heats, 1 x 10 lap semi final (x2 groups) and a 12 lap final. Prixes afterwards.

The track is not that big but tight and there is good grip, the karts were all pretty even apart from 1 donkey but it always came in last anyway lol.

Here is a link to it....http://www.need4speedkarting.com/index.php

Everything is more expensive down here :( the tracks are good as they change level and the lack of grip on the ply track makes things interesting.

I think there's always a donkey of a kart that someone has fed a bag of sugar to, thats my excuse anyways. I'm happy to take a spin up North for this :)

A bit early yet, but Need4speed karting are available on the 28th December, for a group of 20 people they would want to start before 12.30.

How would that suit people?

If that suits, add your name to the list below, minimum number is 8 and a deposit is needed to secure it so I may have to lift deposits of a tenner each person driving, after Alan D was let down badly at the last RR day.

Spectators are welcome but from memory bring a warm coat and extra pair of socks lol.
