Fun Kart race at 3 Sisters
I mentioned in another post about having a fun kart race at 3 sisters in Wigan, to see who has the best FF1600 championship (more fun than competition).
This could be a very fun kart race if different championships have a least 3 drivers in the race (with a minimum of 10 championships racing). You could get as many people as possible racing from NWFF, SOM, CCFF, Formula Honda, ARP F3, URS FF2000, BARC FR, Monoposto etc and with equal karts see who is the best!! Much cheaper than dragging your FF1600 cars to Spain!!! We could even get Journos and Marshals to enter teams?
Make it an enduro and have 3 drivers per 2 hour race. If more than 3 per champs then draw each team out of a hat to make it as even as possible..?
What do you think?
If we have some interest for a bit of preseason fun then post your ideas here

3 sisters, and thruxton or clay seem the best options.
I like it. If to make it more interesting, why not try to do some sort of charity thing, so for the racers its fun to see who's the best, but its for a good cause.
I'd be happy to take part.

I think it would be a good idea for a 2pm Sat race - enduro for 2 or 4 hours. 3 people per team (each team must have the same championship in). Mattray maybe you could get Gav in your team to stop you both from crashing into each other...! (christmas joke sorry...!!)
If we have 6 drivers from one championship then we should draw the teams out of a hat.

Woody what type of car do you race - Formula Honda? If so try and get as many people as poss interested so your champs can have a couple of teams in the race.

I'd be up for it if you could stomach a tin-top incursion from the Ford Saloons....
Could suggest a great charity too if its' at 3 Sisters...Alder Hey Childrens hospital that looks after my 20 month old daughter who has real serious heart problems...

1. Don't forget it goes dark early.
2. You'll need to speak to the Karting Manager - Ian Makinson - on 01942 270230, to check days and times available. I PM'd you a list of dates a couple of days ago.

I am up for that Goforit500. How would the charity thing work? Charge a little bit more than the entry fee?
Saloons would be welcome. The more the merrier!!!
J, team sorted for the Oman 24 hour race I think, may have one more space - you interested?

just a though redracer, have you ever seen the karts at three sisters??? Equal there not.
Actually, thats all good. Im sure our friend Mr Barfoot would "sort out" the NWFFORD guys before the rest of the teams. Three Sister it is then.......LOL

Kartingdad, that is part of the fun of it (as long as we get a good kart!!!).
I think we should have it in Feb before the season starts? I will check the dates with Ian, cheers Diz.
Diz will you be able to send an email round to the NWFF troops when we get a date and see how many we could get. I assume Kartingdad will be sending the boys out to battle???
Combe boys could you contact some people as well. Could be a good launch day for www.clubff1600.co.uk but more importantly a day to have fun and raise a bit of cash and see which champ is the best on the day.
