Default Ipswich Grand Prix Go Karting July 12th or 19th... put your names down!

Basically i did a grand prix type thing with work a while ago where we hired the whole karting centre out.

It isnt a massive circuit, but is such good fun!!


You race to semis, then final etc where the winner gets a trophy!

It would work out about £40 per person and you get about 5 or 6 races for that and some grub!

If anyone would be interested i can find out more?

Some piccies!

Cool, ill find out all of the details to see what we would need to do to book the whole circuit for a saturday night?

I warn you now though, if we want to do it, we will have to pay for the whole thing upfront... so if you want to do it and you can make whatever date we pick, you'll have to pay upfront!

Nah, thats mongo, when he tried to go karting he ended up sat on top of the kart not in it and they wouldnt let him out from what I recall

Im only 15/16 stone so not massive, but heavy enough that I know someone like maria or galbally is going to properly do me on the straights

Yeah ive been before and didnt like it, very boring, not many twists at all! Hence why i think the indoor place is so much better!

Will be calling them soon guys to find out the ins and outs!

Right guys... this is how it would work.......


If we have between 30-39 people it will be £45 per person for exclusive use of the track. This would include a full Grand Prix style race and a basket meal and drink!

I would need £10 deposit from each person to Secure the Track.

And the date i am going for is July 12th or 19th


So please put your names down if you are Interested

1. Maria
2. Porkie
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

don't know about you, but i sweat like a blind lesbian in a fish shop when karting (obviously not you maria, as you are a lady - and ladies don't sweat, they just glow), so would need a wash and change before going on

would like to say yes, but can't commit at this time. will keep my eye on it, and might be in a position to fill any spaces if (when?) anybody drops out

Nick - they do have changing rooms at the karting place.... that you can splash water on your face with!

Ipswich is pikey anyway...... youll fit in better if youre sweaty and minging!
