    Oooook!

    Basically went karting there today, in navan, found it deadly, also found out they do a grand prix and endurance races and so on, for up to 40 people,

    Here's the site http://www.thezone.ie/karting.asp

    So obviously it'l have to be a weekend, and it needs to be booked in advance, €40 a head for most of the day it seems, depending on numbers
    Also it'l be after the midway meet so it's not in the way of that
    We can iron out dates, times and so on at a later date

    So who's game?

    I'll get the ball rolling

    I could call into them and ask what's the crack with prices, times and bookings etc if you wish, local and all that jazz :)

    Edit: I'm an idiot that missed half of the first post :p

    Well I can help take a few like, I'll be going that way or if you can make it to Naas I could get you there or something?

    The way I look at it, more the merrier and noisier!

    I'm only up the road, mate. When I can confirm work dates I'll let you know and you can spin down with me. :)

    As long as you don't mind an hour of death metal and hardcore on the way down, I also like my music loud. :D

    It's very twisty, it has a bridge you go over and under and a moderate enough straight, like it's perfect for the job I found, plus plenty of chances to get a bit sideways

    See that's the fun part about it, it's not about who comes first or second on the track, it's about who ever's the quickest, then you get a sheet with all your lap times at the end and then you find out who really won ;)
