Default Go Karting tracks in Essex, Suffolk and Kent

Went Go-Karting in Colchester on Sunday, it was the first time I'd been in about 10 years or so and I really enjoyed myself.

Thinking of organising a bit of a race meet amongst my friends but I'd like to go to a different track. Colchester is a little short and a bit boring at only 20 seconds a lap!

Any ideas or recommendations please.

Ellough Park in Beccles is great but might be a little too far for you.

I was lapping that in around 54 seconds.

I'm 5 mins from Buckmore Park which is a great karting track.

www.buckmore.co.uk I think.

I'd definitely join in any organised karting session
