NacMan 67 Posted October 17, 2019 So who went to the dealer team challenge in Manchester? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metcars 397 Posted October 18, 2019 It's not my thing. Back in the late 80s I used to race, started with a couple of caterham's and progressed to a Mallock Clubmans series. Did it for a few years. But I have absolutely no interest in 'track day's' or go karting. To my mind, there are always too many guys who take these go karting events far too seriously and suck the fun out of it for everyone else! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest there were one or two! swearing and whining about being overtaken or span out or ramming others however its expected! They just get overly competitive, however it was an awesome night and ill definitely be back for the next event! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He used to race for Dartford Karting and turned up as as favour for them, late 80's. Simply amazing they can get metal and rubber to go so quick is totally alien.....same as the moto x and enduro guys I raced against, trials is more my thing now, slow n steady Those guys go straight from kart to single seaters. People think they are young to race but by the time they're 20 they've got 12yrs of racing experience behind them? And that's 'racing' not track days, there's a big difference.
