24 hour kart raceStill have places for the August bank holiday 24 hour kart race at Teesside, Dave/ gavin fancy a go? (it's cheaper than normal)! |

Gav, Dave, anyone fancy a stint (or 2) in the 24 hour race, we can cater for any time slot you want, minimum 45 minute slot £25.56.
Anyone fancy being the hero racing through the night? |

My karting skills are crap, I would simply drag the team down the leaderboard Martin.
Daves your man!!! |

It's an endurance race not a sprint, and more importantly it is about the spirit of being part a team that competes together through the night. Look at me I qualified last on the grid in the Ironman and I am up for it!
Go on be a devil! 
Even if you and Dave did one 45minute stint each I think it would be good for us all, and then you can be happy in the knowledge that in future years you can say "I remember when.............." |

I was going to do the whole 24hrs in my Frontera...... but they said I can't sleep through the race in the car park.
serious tho, I'm considering it.. |

lOOKS LIKE BOTH KARTS ARE NOW FULL, i WILL SEND THE REVISED (AGAIN) ROTA OUT TONIGHT. | ||
| Gav Taylor |
great stuff best of luck to both our teams!!! | ||

Currently 40 karts signed up,only 7 of which are owner driver outfits so 33 hire karts puts us in with a shout of a top ten result.
I need paying for the event asap as the kart track won't be taking payments on the day and we need to secure our line up. Re the pit board, you won't be able to miss ours! I have created a masterpiece that will be the envy of the pit lane!! |

Dave any word on John K?
Gav depending on Dave's reply there may be an opening for a "Super sub" if you are up for it (unless the rash from Kavos hasn't cleared up of course)! |
||
| Gav Taylor |

The legendary pit board
|
||
| Gav Taylor |
worthy of my trademark....awesome! Is it an Ikea knock off? |
||
| club sec |
Totally unique, not your usual Swedish tat! | ||
| Gav Taylor |
I reckon this might float your boat as well Martin seems like your cup of tea ...link

Sticky backed plastic............bring it on!
|

Do you think IKEA would find a market for illuminated pitboards? 
|
||
| Gav Taylor |
If I was you I'd sell the design to Tweeks for a few hundred thousand then buy a WRC car and contest a few rounds of the WRC | ||
| joe_the_waiter |
great pit board, but, ..... although we will be able to spot it at night through thick fog across 10 miles of rough sea....... will we actually be able to read what's on it through the glare of lights while travelling at 150+mph ? | ||
| club sec |
The only thing on it will be "IN" or a arrow so that's not an issue. | ||
| Gav Taylor |
which kart race will you be at Dave??
|
||
| club sec |
Dave is doing the indy500F1grandprixleman24hours kart race. | ||
| Gav Taylor |

| club sec |
Everyone else is doing the smog 24 at Teesside!
I think Dave expects some buxom blonde in lycra hotpants to stand in front of the kart on the grid.............have you seen the lasses from "Boro"!

| Gav Taylor |
Dont like yours much Dave!!
