The thrashed-racing forum

i think you're in some of the photos on the events page fella

Hi guys, I've been racing for around the last 10 years, started off in the mini motos and then went onto buy my own kart which I raced up Tilbury and Buckmore b4 going on to organised events, only recently sold my Max due to not going out on it as much and prefering to use and abuse the track karts! LOL.
You think I was quick at Lakeside then you should see me in a MAX! (or so the wife says) Rye house holds a arrive and drive with Rotax Max's for an hour session, for around £130, maybe at some point we can all get together for a fun drive B4 we choose an event???

Haven't really had a look at the karting websites for any future events, although I know Lakeside always have them. Ill keep you posted if I hear anything.

Why dont you want to go back to Lakeside just yet?

Hi mate, if you used to race at Tilbury you might know another guy on the forum. Adam Denley goes under the name Gyfto in here and he keeps inviting me down to Tilbury for a test day but I haven't been able to take him up on it yet.

and on that subject,will be there on saturday,and have sent you a mail.

Very easy.
There's a yearly membership fee of £45, then each race meeting costs £145 to enter.
That's for the sprint series, endurance varies on how many members per team etc.
Both Andy (Mudflap) and myself do the sprint series.
In terms of track-time for money it's miles less than any normal arrive-and-drive races, but there's more to consider than track time with Club100.  You get much better karts (not just faster but also the maintenance/preparation) and a much higher standard of opponent.  It's still for fun but there's a strong competitive edge to it aswell.
Not that it's all good mind you - I had a terrible time at my first meeting (see the write-up) and I almost reconsidered doing any more races this year.  The karts are direct drive so something as small as even a lock-up can effectively end your race.  I'm just hoping that's something I can learn to avoid in the future as my driving improves, which it won't do if I run away from it.
