Tim Smith Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Dark blue in the carpark at Daytona on Saturday afternoon. My first time there, a most excellent karting circuit! Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 That was me! It was my first ever time karting -- was out on the two-o-clock race. Our (three man) team was doing rather well until I got my stint -- the drizzle came and I spend backwards time off track, black flagging (for being barged off by the eventual winner) and generally having a good time. Will be back in a flash (although would prefer better behavied competition!) My ... Preciousss! Member #109** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Smith Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 I was there in the morning with some mates as part of my stag do. The drizzle held off for us and there were no major incidents. I find that the competition aren't necesarily badly behaved, just clueless when it comes to racing. My tactic is just to pressurise them into making a big mistake rather than to go for the overtake, it's usually safer that way. The track is really good with some horribly technical corners, I want to go back soon too. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 I'm definitely going back for more. Only major incident was when one kart lost a wheel on the flat out corner at the end of the straight...! My ... Preciousss! Member #109** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted June 27, 2005 Area Representative Share Posted June 27, 2005 How about a group outing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Smith Posted June 28, 2005 Author Share Posted June 28, 2005 We could do a group trip but not for a while for me. The karting was part of my stag do, I'm getting married next month and feeling very poor indeed at the moment! Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I'd be up for it. I'm interested in getting a bit of arrive-and-drive type practice in as well... My ... Preciousss! Member #109** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickaddison Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I'd be up for a return trip there - went recently with some of the SELOC guys arranged by the dealer that I got the Elise from... Cracking track, which I got the hang of by the end! We went out for the warm-up/qualifying in numerical order - guess who was number 1, led everyone out and then caused a pile-up by spinning at the first corner 😳 I also managed to get black flagged for overtaking under a yellow - right in front of the guy waving the yellow flag - Oops! 😳 Year In The Club DVD Part 2 OUT NOW CLICK HERE TO ORDER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
