I go walking up around there with the dog several times a week and i often hear the Karts going round. Can you just go in and watch?

You were lucky to find a female interest round here, you must have had the last one

She ran our casino in central London, Yateley was chosen for home as it was half way between London and parents home on outskirts of new forest. She's single now if you fancy your chances....!

No spectators at the moment due to covid rules, so just 1 parent + mechanic. This was one week before the second lockdown so hopefully the rules may relax a little hopefully soon. I'm pretty sure under normal circumstances they would allow spectators. I will give you a shout if anything changes. Its a nice atmosphere over there on the track days and a good watch to see all the different classes of karting.

That would be great thank you

Got me thinking now, do they allow old gits to have a go ?

Post it up on here if they do - we could have a forum meet and watch the karting / get a coffee, sure there are a few round that area...

Plenty of the 'older generation' do indeed rock up there on the track days. You would need all your own racewear and a kart though. I expect you could hire one from somewhere if pre arranged.

Best place to go for the 'adult experience' would be Daytona, Esher Sandown Park. The DMAX Karts there are bloody fast and a handful there.
