Great website, love the timeline

Quote from Omar1 :

did you have to bump a 3 year old thread? Try google or search here on the forums...

So Omar you genius, the guy bumps an old thread and gets slagged off by you, yet if he makes a new one, you would slag him off for not using the search.... Class

Your ATI GPU is fooked. Your laptop uses your Intel HD for your desktop and anything that doesn't require 3D acceleration (flash does btw) to save the battery. The only option is to check if your card is onboard, if it is, you need a new motherboard.

Becky, Tor, Andreas, Mike, Adamlfs, Lufelfs, ACCAkut, Pete, Stormcloud have arrived, beer already in flow :P

Gutted you can't make it Dean, is it too late to change your mind?

Michael, Tongey will pick you up

Quote from Kiyoshi :

Not too late Ed

I'll cover the extra so we can sort that out when you arrive, with cash

It will also be the 10th anniversary of Sonicrealms

Really looking forward to it now, got something extra for you, so we should have plenty of space (working 24/7 but it won't be quite finished, but usable)

Awesome race, leg end MO!

Just to remind people, as we have less than 30 people, we will need to do teams of 2, which will mean a bit more cost for each of us, around £20-£25 Still not sure of exact figures yet.

@ der butz, you coming with other people?

I said to you at the time there wasn't spaces left, but you said you had already booked it, so I turned someone else down for you. That alone would be enough for me to say no this time, but to let me down with 2 days to go was the icing on the cake...

Quote from Bob Smith :

£2.24 fee for transferring the money by PayPal, even as a gift? Is there another way to pay?

There shouldn't be any fee for a gift, but you could do bank transfer. I can pm you my details if you want.

Quote from der butz :

Thanks for the offer and help guys!
I've asked a friend and possibly she and her friend will be driving up with me - if that's possible and okay with Jason of course!

I'll know more about it tonight.

greetz

der all hope is not gone butz

Yeah that is great Butz! We need more people or we will need to do teams of 2 which will mean it costs more each..

Received from both thanks.

Ok everyone, I need to pay the deposit in the next few days so could you please send as much of the £60 to my paypal asap.

Remember to send as a gift to jasonmatthews@hotmail.com

Quote from Mp3 Astra :

Hey Jason - what's the latest I could arrive at Newport Station to be picked up to get to G-Force? The earliest arrival I could possibly get on Saturday is half 9.

The second question is, are entries still open? Sorry for being so late to inquire - I've been unsure as to my living/work/education arrangements until recently.

Yep, 9:30 should be ok. Will put you down

My fiance

Quote from J@tko :

Probably one of the only two weekends in the whole summer I can't do Have fun

I replied to your pm, should be np, letme know asap.

Quote from tbofram :

I would love to come but this year I'm busy..... Do you know if it will be in ~ same area/date next year? If so then I might put that on the calendar for the next meet up

I can do same weekend next year.

Quote from dekojester :

/me starts saving for a 2013 trip.

TURKEY - Keep it on the same weekend next year, and organize it next year, and I will make every effort to attend so I can be shouty at you all

I'll have vacation days next year...but not this year.

See above.

Quote from Wilko868 :

I can 100% confirm I'll be available that weekend tomorrow once I check if there's anything clashing, but I'd certainly be up for it if you have some spaces available mate - would be great to put some faces to names!

Spaces available Wilks, let me know asap.

Quote from rockclan :

Just to clear things up for myself... Would anyone have a problem with it, if I'd attend?

I would as you messed me around so much last time, and I had to refund your money, which came out of my pocket

Quote from three_jump :

really thinking about it

Hope you can make it again.

I will again be doing the event this year. I have around 10 spaces available.

Event Info

The venue: G-Force Karting Map & Directions My house

The karts: 200 cc karts, up to 10 on track at once

The event: We have the whole track to ourselves the entire day, so when we have the numbers we can work out any format we like

The date: August 18th 2012
The time: 10am (11am race start) to 5pm

The cost: Approx £60, deposit to be paid up front


Other Event details

The track is very close to my house. For those who want to stay at mine, you are welcome. You can even pitch up tents in my garden if you want, I have plenty of space. I could probably accommodate around 20 in my house and more if you brought tents, you would just need to bring a sleeping bag. Also we can have a proper party type thing after the karting. I have a Full size pool table, Wii, lots of PC's (with LFS of course), XBOX 360, projector and of course there will be plenty of beer and a BBQ. I would want £15 each for food and beer if you stay at mine (included in the price).

For those not wanting to stay at mine, there are plenty of cheap hotels close to the karting.

Please post comments and interest here

Just thought I would post my plan for the weekend.

Friday


People will be arriving by car all day up until early evening.

So friday will be about taking all the arrivals. There will be snacks and sandwiches etc for the day, then I think we should order take out (chinese/kebabs/pizza's etc) for the evening. We should go over the team pairings also then.

Activities - Pool, Darts, Wii, LFS, cards, chess, getting to know eachother, drinking, eating etc...

Saturday

07:00-08:15 Get up, shower and get ready, coffee!! (4 bathrooms so we should be ok)
08:15-9:15 Breakfast at the local Cafe.
9:15-18:00 Karting See below

10:00 - 10:30 Arrive at site
10:30 - 11:00 Kitting out and briefing.
11.00 - 11.30 Practice (10 mins each)
11.45 - 12.45 Mini Endurance - 1 hour race (1 x 20 minute stint each)
12.45 - 13.00 Break
13.00 - 16.00 Main Endurance race - 3 hours race (2 x 30 minute stints each)
16.00 - 17.00 Individual Sprint Races (3 x 10 minute heats with a 10 minute final)
17.00 - Whenever - back to Jason's for those staying the evening.

Note : we will be using the practice session at the start to not only familiarise ourselves with the track, but also check the karts out. Each driver will get a chance to see if their kart is either faulty or slow, any problems can be rectified by pulling in to the pits and telling the marshall. They can then take the kart to the mechanic, who will fix it. We have been assured that the karts are all in good order, but you know how these things work, there's always one kart that runs like a pig!!

18:00-19:00 Showers/change clothes etc
19:00 onwards will be BBQ and PARTY!!

I have bought plenty of cereal and orange juice so that should send you home OK

[B][U]House Rules[/U][/B]

Smoking is allowed downstairs, but no smoking upstairs at all, and also no shoes upstairs. There is a bathroom downstairs so it shouldn't be a problem.

I have 14 meg wireless unlimited internet and have taken my password off for the weekend so if anyone wants to bring laptops etc they are welcome to use my connection. I also have 20 Ethernet ports spare for those without wireless.
