Poll: OcUK Karting 2018 - Mid-End October 2018 - Track Suggestions?

[dale1uk]

How about Teesside??

I'd like to vote for Cumbria but there'd only be about 3 of us. Guess Whilton is most central so makes sense to have it there.

Stick me down anyway

I'd love to do Teesside, been wanting to do it for years, but don't think many would go there

Teesside is a great karting track, even if it's been about 10yrs since I last did an Ironman there. Would definitely be keen, but also suspect many wouldn't want to travel up north

sandown park in the dmax karts are good fun.

Whilton Mill is winning at the moment, but I'll let it run for a few more days just in case.

Coverage of my race at Whilton 2 weeks ago for those who are interested

I really need to work on my interview technique. As a newbie to the series I never go expecting to be interviewed so was very unprepared;

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

Bump for any last minute voters.

@Damien. I'll have a watch of that when I get chance

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

So Whilton Mill is the clear winner. I will get in touch with them to enquire on costs, how best to pay, dates etc. and then post a new thread with a date.

Thanks

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

Ok finally got round to calling them.

https://whiltonmill.co.uk/our-kart-tracks - track choice here, I've said it would only be the National and International that we are interested in. National track is 20 people tops and international is 20 minimum apparently.

The only Saturday dates available for this are 1st and 8th December otherwise it's during the week at some point.

If we book for November/December we all get £5 off each, plus some food, and the winner receives a hamper.

Provisional bookings are for 7 days only before deposits are required - it would be £20pp for deposits. Full balance to be paid in full 7 days prior to karting date. They would want the arranger (me) to be the only one making payments which means you'd all have to send me £20 (or full balance if you wish) as soon as we agree a date.

So basically for this to work everyone needs to be sending me deposit monies ASAP and then I can book on the premise of how many deposits I receive for either of those dates.

How's does this sound for these dates then? I'm absolutely fine with potential cold/rain - but others may not be?

Thanks.

What's the total cost? I can't tell which option it would be on the website

National £65 / International £75 ?

What's wrong with a Sunday to bring it into the middle of November, potentially?

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

I was thinking international sprint personally - so yeah £75 after discount.

Sundays, well there's 11th & 18th November but I personally couldn't make those so.... not going to arrange something I can't attend

What about the greater good?

I'm personally fine with dates in December, not worried about the cold/rain - could spice things up a bit! Although to be honest, any date from now onwards is likely to be wet, so...

[paradigm]

Sooner rather than later would give us a greater chance of better track conditions (not against rain, but am against being freezing cold! My first Palmersport day was in sub zero conditions for the morning, and it made things more than "tricky" as well as rather uncomfortable being wet and cold loitering around the side of a track!). Weekdays are fine by me given enough notice.

If the consensus is Saturdays then I'm still up for the 1st, but it might end up being rather chilly!

 

[Abyss]

I'm definitely interested if it's the 1st December. On call on the 8th so wouldn't risk it.

 

[crinkleshoes]

Count me in for weekend only dates.

International is best, but national is OK too with the extra wiggle.

 

[nicRob]

Away on 1st, and 8th is the day after work Christmas party so neither ideal, but could do the 8th depending on time (going to London for the evening)

 

[Havana_UK]

I’m pretty flexible given enough advance warning of the dates.

 

[Freakbro]

Didn't see this thread previously, but I'd definitely be up for attending if not too late to sign up - I'm good for either of the dates in Dec

 

[lordrobs]

I'm up for the 1st December, I'm on a work trip on the 8th though.

 

[howler]

8th December is the only one I could do
