St. Eval Karting Meet - Saturday 23rd June

[plymcl172]

so is this on the 23rd or 24th?

both pages say different lol

 

[BoatNonce]

We found out it isn't open on the 24th

It's on the 23rd, the OP was updated with the new date and cheaper price

 

[plymcl172]

ok I get it

page 2 says 24th still lol

 

[Jardo]

Well I can't do the 23rd, so I'm not going.

Ttfn.

 

[BoatNonce]

Aaron you still up for this?

 

[Aaron182.]

Yeah. Just to lazy to copy and paste the list.

 

[BoatNonce]

No worries, just didn't see a definite yes or no after the date change.

As it stands it's just me and you but hopefully The Fatty's up for it too

1. McGherkin
2. Aaron182.

 

[plymcl172]

I want to say yes but I am only up for a session or two. I have been with my brother and we had had enough by 2 runs

You get lap times anyway so we can see who the winner is and still have fun, also a lot cheaper than a full race.

 

[Shifty.]

I'm still interested in a drive down there, haven't been karting in years so should be fun! Just need to check I've got no hillclimbs or sprints that weekend.

You will love it St Eval it's proper karting the karts go about 50-60mph I would say well thats what it feels like. Very big track lots of slows and some fast strights. They change the track every now and then too make it harder. I spun out at least 4 times on 1 run. You live and learn! lol

Well the plan is that everyone brings money for a maximum of 3 sessions and if we all decide that we've had enough after 2 we don't have to do it

Shifty, I planned it around the Plymouth MC calendar, I think the only one that weekend is Gurston.

Oh and Plym, you come to St. Eval and I'll go to Dartmoor

 

[Shifty.]

Cool then I may well be there, last time I went karting was a small indoor one in Exeter, it wasn't brilliant and it was an endurance race in teams, there were some guys that took it waaaaay to seriously and ruined the fun of the event. Other than that used to go to a place in Hayle in Cornwall when we were on holiday knew that track like the back of my hand and could fly around it, so much fun, again it wasn't huge but it was outdoors and had some good turns, not flat out the whole time, bet it's shut down by now as it wasn't really a big operation down there.

 

[The Fatty]

I will be there IF its dry! I'll also probably bring the misses as were are quite competitive!

 

[BoatNonce]

Great news

 

[Aaron182.]

I'm sure I'll bring a few non CS mates along.

 

[plymcl172]

I can't see any reason why I can come, so long away yet

and I would expect you to come too the Dartmoor meet anyway Mcgherkin you are from Plymouth

 

[BoatNonce]

This event has been added to the CSSW Facebook Page.

Just working out a time to get there, so I can start sorting out the convoy bit.

Re: St. Eval Karting Meet - Sunday 24th June

According to Plymcl172, they now open on Sundays. They haven't updated the site yet.

Well I live a hundred yards from the track and its always bee closed on Sunday and still is I think!

 

[BoatNonce]

Yup, we established this. It's on Saturday 23rd June now, as updated in the OP

Living so close to the track, I hope you're going!

Not sure, am going away one weekend in June but not sure which one. Am sure s few people suggested this before and no one bothered

 

[BoatNonce]

Well we have people who've said they're coming, plus nobody has an excuse for not wanting to enjoy the Cornish sun and roads

Just busy making up a route for the drive after, should be great

 

[rampantreaper]

Be warned is an epic dead straight road just past the trackwhich I have been informed ahem you can hit a ton on. The police have been known to keep an eye out but it is rare!

 

[BoatNonce]

I know of that road but I was thinking more about the B3276 along the coast, down to St. Columb Minor, around Newquay airport, then back up it to St. Eval again.

Here's a rough map.

[rampantreaper]

Well I guess if it's scenery you're after that's fine. The coastal route takes you that way. St mawgan nice too. You need to go further west for driving roads tho. A good hour west to be honest.

 

[The Fatty]

Like I said before, I wil be there if its not raining!

 

[Clenchdcheek]

Be a man karting takes more balls in the rain!

 

[BoatNonce]

Well, I saw this road nearby and remembered it being a nice road to drive, so why not?

And it's hard enough to get people to go this far South West, let alone another hour lol!

Oh, and Fatty, man up

yes why not. its not difficult to get people to come this far southwest, most of them seemed to be here last week lol.
well as i can walk to the track from my house it would be rude not to turn up so as long as its not my weekend away count me in

 

[BoatNonce]

Ideal

By it being difficult, I mean getting the numbers that you get at a Bristol/Somerset meet.

 

[The Fatty]

I manned up, still not doing it if its wet. Not paying £50 odd to get wet, I can do that in the shower! lol. It better be dry.

 

[BoatNonce]

Fair enough, it'll probably be sunny anyway

 

[Shifty.]

Sorry to say I won't be able to make this now, family bday/BBQ thing, I'll have to get the next one.

you have all the excuses under the sun you....

 

[BoatNonce]

No worries, see you at the next one

 

[The Fatty]

its not an excuse, i'll be there if its dry. im not paying to get wet.

 

[plymcl172]

why whats wrong with wet. You do sound like a right woman though ! :rasp:

 

[The Fatty]

ha thanks, you seem to have it in for me today! bring on tomorrow! lol.

 

[plymcl172]

na just cause your excuse for not coming to the moors meet was a funny read ! and so is the reason for the kart meet- it may rain! brilliant !

 

[The Fatty]

lol ok. I dont think not wanting to go to a pure social meet (which im not interested in) over watching the f1 was a bad excuse. Like i said, I like the car centric meets, like the up-coming RR day and this karting meet which I am also looking forward to, provided it's dry, which it probably will be. Going out in a kart in the pouring rain is something I would have done when I was in my teens, its not something I would enjoy now; maybe im past that stage in my life now!


p.s - im 26 btw (as you were probably all wondering how old I am after reading that lol) how old are you guys?

 

[joshie999]

Anyone who hasn't been there and is going, trust me it's so much fun, best karting track I've been to, go there every time we're in Cornwall, the karts are nice and so is the track
