Im going to be back for a week or 2 for Easter, and was wondering if anyone is up for a bit of Karting action at Hooton Park ??

Havent been for a while, and really feel the need to drive quickly an inch off the floor

If theres any interest, I can see about actual dates etc..
I know times are tough, but its £30 for 2 15 minute sessions..or we can do a £40 each session, which is a Grand Prix with practice, qualifying and 2 races (I think)

Anyone interested?

sounds good

been wantin togo kartin for a while...

My old neighbour is their racing this weekend.

Yea, they host the cheshire kartin championship there every 2nd weekend of the month. Cracking races there, marshalled there when I was back over summer. Think Ill be doin it again this summer as well.


Good bit of interest so far then, I reckon a few more and wed get a good Grand Prix session, and maybe a discount. Ill start a list of names of whos interested....No actual details just yet..

In case people dont know, they use proper Twin Engined Honda Gx-160 ProKarts, that have their own racing championship. They are serious racing karts, and a lot faster than your standard single engined indoor karts (Indoor karts usually have bout 5.5hp...these have 11). Track is outdoor as well, so if it rains, its more fun (staying on slicks ) Also, the benefit of Hooton Park, is they encourage racing, not timing laps. First over the line is the winner

Not me mate, kart would have to have 100bhp to pull my fat arse LOL

Youd be surprised though, easily capable of 60mph, goin into a tight 90 degree first corner...superb..

I remember last year one lad had a geared 125cc (i think it was 125cc) on that track, was immense acceleration compared to the others on track (testing not a proper race)

The arrive and drive Karts there are OK - tend to bog down a lot at the hairpins...

Im gonna see if my mates are getting their Rotax karts out - it a difference between walking and a supersonic jet

Depends how fast you take the hairpin, but the track has been widened to allow a longer runoff, so less bogging

Rotax are good..but TKm is where its at, no battery to chug around the place...Soon as Ive finished uni, and have some money, Ill start working on mine.

Interested Stuy ?

Unfortunatly all my money at the moment is being spent on racing big cars

Right...so there was some interest again tonight to get this thing going...so deffo gonna have to be sorted

Heres list so far (as it stood other week)

When are we thinking of having this wiki race

We'll see if anyone else is interested, then start thowing some dates around.

The minimum number for a Grand Prix event (Practice, Qualifying, 2 races) is 8, and that £40 each.

A normal show up and drive with 2 races is £30, although last time I was charged £25 as Ive become friendly with Bob the owner, but thats not promising a reduction in prices.

So depends on when everyone is free, and has some money on them

I can come

If numbers are low i can probably bring friends too.

And if people cant get there im happy to give lifts too.

Its cheaper to go for a day out at Camelot and use their go-karts haha!!

it is

but lets do it lol

Much better karts.. and much closer as well

Keeps getting forgotten about...

Gonna start a new list, as I dunno if the original people are interested anymore. Remember, we need at least 8 for a Grand Prix.. if not, then we can always just go for arrive and drive and go on twice

Its just for a bit of fun, doesnt need to be treated like a competition (Unless you want it to) but they do encourage racing at this place... possibly the only Karting place in the world that does

Anyone up for it sunday?

possibly, yeah

A weekend would be best.. as most people will be off. Only thing we have to be careful of is they have national racing every second sunday of the month.. so no arrive and drive.

Its only the 1st sunday of this month so far though.. so coud be a good idea.

If people are happy with a sunday... and more get interested, Ill give bob a ring see if its A-ok

ill pop down the rocky and chat

Need more people. 8 is the minimum for a Grand Prix event.. unless people just want to go for an arrive and drive session, which Is probably easier tbh.

We were thinking this Sunday as well, short notice but it leaves less chance for people to forget...or for important things to suddenly pop up...


If you can all have a think, and try and make a decision today please, preferably by about 4/5. Itll give me more time to ring the track and let them know we're coming etc.. so they can see if they are busy and if there's enough karts

That was the original list coupled with recent interest... however its too late to get the track this sunday, not been enough interest Im afraid.


Come on People... will be a fun day out. Bring the wife and kids to watch and cheer you on (or join in if they want)... as well as meeting others from the site and see whos the fastest
