Went to Go Karting Norhteast at Warden Law today. Loved it and qualified first and finished first. Not bad for a 16st 3lb Ginger freak. Best lap was 1:09.12. Are there any other Karting tracks in the northeast and if you have been to Karting Northeast, what was your best time?

 

my son was karting today in the kartsprint at teeside karting, he has a comer cadet.
did ok consider it was only his second event.
been to warden law a few times nice set up there.

What is Teeside Karting like?

 

very good m8, facilities very similar to warden law, when the full track is used it's the longest in the uk, it even has you climbing a hill!!
I even test my race car round there

here is a vid of the long track

About 25 of us went to warden law for my mates stag do a while back, was a good day out.

 

Looks tight in a car!!!

I bet thats mint in a Kart. They must be faster thatn the ones at Warden Law otherwise it would take ages to get round that; you must have been soing 65-70 at one point?

 

I went with some blokes from work who are all about 11 stone and they said I could never win due to the power to weight ratio. I said afterwards "I just used my belly to transfer the weight wherever it was needed!"

 

thats not me driving just a random clip I found, I was seeing just shy of 100mph in the car on the back straight.. my car is now a lot lighter so will no doubt be over 100 now.

been to both tracks quite alot had a rotax 125 now that was fast my mate still has his and goes all the time the engine builds can be a bit expensive tho.

 

Whats a good time in the hire Karts?

 

51 secs is a good time in the hire karts i'm nearly 15 stone and can only do a 53 secs at teeside

been to warden law with work, was really good there, you get a time sheet printed out of all lap times best times and your other competitors and you get trophies.

 

So what was your best lap time?

 

1.30 mins, came second and my excuse was it was about 7pm so was damp circuit. It was around the full circuit to which was good. average tim was 1.37mins

 

I didnt realise they did a shorter circuit?

 

Im just going off the map of the circuit it looks like you could have different routes, so thought there might be short ones. This one:

Thats the one, though you can tell that the "Racing" on that video is staged!

 

when your into it buy your own kart its much cheaper my mate just bought a crg very nice kart,i can now borrow his old one,
