Re: Go Karting - FULLY BOOKED

I'm actually organising an endurance race at Ellough Park (Beccles) for a couple of weeks time. For the 1.5 hour race (+20mins ish practice beforehand) it is £135 per team - and they insist on 8 teams, max 5 people per team. So the cheapest it would get is £27 each if we got 40 people interested. Could we get that many? If not it looks a little pricey.

The alternative is of course to just turn up and do the 15min race (£24), but with the 1.5 endurance there's trophies, a podium and champagne to spray everywhere a la F1.

I must say I think the facilities at Ellough Park are probably the best in the area which is probably reflected in the price. They have a nice room to sit in with lots of monitors giving race positions, fastest laps etc.

All the details can be found on their website: Clicky!

I've got some pics of the tracks I'll post later from home...

My day's karting at Ellough Park has been scuppered, they don't have any slots at weekends until August! Probably a good idea to get something booked with them sooner rather than later if we choose to go there.

surprised u can get it as soon as aug normally weekends are booked 6 months in advance what about one week day evening you can book to turn up as late as 6 pm

Ok people I've been down to the Swaffham kart track today and provisionally booked Saturday 3rd October for the NMOC Kart GP.

The format will be 1 practice race followed by 3 heats and then a final for the top 6? people.

Price will be £35.00 ( £5 NON refundable deposit needs paid at july meeting or asap as I need to put a £100 deposit down )

People need to be at the track for 4.30pm for a 5pm start.

ps this will be the small circuit unless I can fiddle the larger one.
