Default Go Karting Northeast

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?

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

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.

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:
