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!!

Sunday[/U][/B]

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.

I wish I could finally come this time, but I'm affraid I won't be able to afford a plane ticket this time.

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

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

/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.

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!

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

anyone from Germany on the list? I'm a little tempted ...

Quote from ACCAkut :

der butz is Deutsch

I'm from Germany (but not German :really

Nieederrsacchseenn :P

.

I'll be there!

And I've already offered to drive over by car. 350€ for fuel and ferry, if we get 2 more people to join it'll be cheaper than the flight, plus other things like leave/arrive when we want to, as much baggage as we want etc...

If you'd like to join Herr Akut :-), it's great fun over there!

der butz


EDIT: Oh, and @Rocky; what do you think? You post a question and noone answers? :-) Some people are just too polite...

Good stuff guys, should be fun as usual (well the aftermath for me)

really thinking about it

19:00 onwards will be BBQ, watching IGTC (maybe we can get some people to talk on the live stream) and PARTY!!

There's not even any NDR event on that weekend....it's between 2 LFSCART Rounds and all GT2WS races are on the first Saturday of the month from here on out.

That's taken from last years (or the year befores) meet.

I don't know who Rockclan is but he can't be any more scary than BreadC in his 1 piece PJ's hahaha :P

Some people don't seem to like me, and therefor don't want me to be there. That's what I heard.

Also heard that people felt reliefed when I couldn't make it in 2010, when actually having booked a plane ticket, payed Turkey, and arranged a lift.

Well, someone has to answer, so might aswell be me that does it

I don't think anyone actually dislikes or feels anything strongly against you, but we don't know you. We know you, or at least I know you, only as a forum profile and at rare occasions online at a server. I and we know of the things you have to work with, and I can accept that, in fact I think most people can do that.
There are allways people who don't get allong that good, but people are not ****s (mostly) like they are on a forum. For example I know some people really think I am a ****ing tool lol, and by all means they have right, at same time you canot be friend with everyone - but when people meet they will try to behave as good as possible towards eachothers.

So I admit that I at first was sceptical, not because I don't like you, but because I know there are very different forces going in different direction regarding this.

So it's up to you Rockclan, I don't think anyone can force you to join or not to join. Again, I just know you from the internet, so I don't have a clear picture of you, therfor I stand neutral in this matter.

Hope this can be usefull for something

and arranged a lift.

As long as you know that I am not going to take the risk.

Quote from cargame.nl :

I was talking about 2010 lol.

And what do you actually mean with "the risk"?

I am disinterested in the popularity discussion, instead I am more disappointed to note that Victor isnt confirmed yet this year - and still no sign of Scawen. They've given up on us! *WAILS IN SELF PITTY*.

I will pay in full after the next pay day, would you mind if I did a bank transfer rather than paypal? Just a preference thing, if you prefer Paypal that's doable.

A lot of old names aren't yet on the list, it'll be a shame - I will miss them.

Well, you can't have all the same people each year I guess. I'm quite excited about meeting everyone who will be there! Maybe I've got a few more drinking games, or, if I can go by car, some goody south german beers :-)

Jason, could you give me the paying details again maybe?
