after a few beers and a chat with MIke Bigfrawg this weekend at M.K.an idea was hatched for some racing at the 3 sisters .
So we've all herd and know about the 3 sisters bmx race track in Wigan, and sadly its long gone :'( .... BUT theres still the 3 sisters go-cart race track located next to the old bmx track :D ... so who would be interested in a go - cart race day ?
had a quick look on their web site and thers a few different packages avaliable .. £25 £50 £110 .... obviously the more you pay the longer you get ....
heres a link to the 3 sisters web site .....................

just an idea at this stage .. so the rest is down to you guys .. anyone interested post up on here with the price range/ race package you think would work best . if enough interest then i get it organised :daumenhoch:

Betty what about the ramp night :P

Fantastic idea Lenny :4_17_5:
Me and Jnr would be up for that :daumenhoch:
:coolsmiley:

Great track, we race supermoto there, and there is a table top jump too, allthough I dont think a kart would fly that well.
-
I can assure you those carts certainly fly , after taking a hairpin bend at full chat ( 60 plus miles an hour ) clipped a curb and took off flying backwards !
Bit of a bum twitching moment for sure :D
Count me and the wife in :daumenhoch:
-
Id be up for that and remember rubbings racing >:D
-
Top idea Lenny :4_17_5:

That's how I see it too , unfortunately the marshals see it differently ( I think that's why I kept on getting black flagged ) :idiot2:

Nice one, I think the take off and flight would be ok, its just landing it that may be a problem, it throws you quite high but it is fun
-
Why not, go on then Lenny :daumenhoch:
-
Defo up for this! I love karting. I entered an open iron man event the other week at Speedkarting, Warrington. £60 for a 5 min practice, then a 40 min race. Quality stuff! Any idea on a date/dates?

Let's get it on. Really want this to happen. Sounds like there's quite a bit of interest already :D
-
those of use that arnt on washing up duties (Darren) or taking photos of some French scaffolding (Ant) :LolLolLolLol: can get this sorted next weekend as we ride round :daumenhoch:
-
Looks like fun to be had then Carl.... You V Andy challenge :LolLolLolLol:
The Karts are twin engine 350cc's reasonable well balanced and throb up to around 60 on the back straight.
The 400cc single engine Karts are the ones... Boy they do go well there more like 80 mph But there very very twitchy on the liftoff oversteer, you gotta be like lightening with toe n heel those round, they only let Experts out in those :whistle:
Think we need to opt for counter ballast in the Karts to level the field out a bit.
In my experience one thing I recall 'nobody's quick when there in the tyre wall....."
Failing that come to Aintree in October, bring your car... ^"^

-
:bump: any more interest guys? im going to try get upto the track this weekend . 18 names so far . if we go with the sprint 20 its looking like it is £49 per person ... BUT i will try to negotiate and see what deals they can do . :bump:
-
Would this be individual drivers or team event Enduro, they usually try to get teams of 3 or 4 and race for an hour or so, seemed to be the best value back when I raced there.
Smaller guys will always do well with Karting. Power to weight....but these Karts can shift some....60 mph easily
Failing that we can always go racing Motocross or Enduro bikes.....barrrrrrrrrppppppppp....
-
Would you my name down please len, sounds a laff.
-
C'mon Wigan lads let's ave it...and the sooner the better :smitten:
