Well as the winner of the last round of the Karting Grand Prix in Kylemore,
I'd like to offer you all a shot at the title in the near future. If there's enough interest I'll get some dates and we can try to organise another grand prix in Kylemore. I'd be up for the top track this time. This is open to everyone. So who's in? ------------- 1995 e36 3.0 M3 Coupe, Daytona Violet, AP Racing BBK, CCFL Angel Eyes, M3 Spoiler, M-Tec 3 Steering Wheel. 2000 530d Steptronic, Poverty Spec, 18" Alloys. |

Well I think we all (me anyway) put on a few pounds over the crimbo. This
will be a good way of working off some weight. Maybe. I'll ring tomorrow and get some dates and times. ------------- 1995 e36 3.0 M3 Coupe, Daytona Violet, AP Racing BBK, CCFL Angel Eyes, M3 Spoiler, M-Tec 3 Steering Wheel. 2000 530d Steptronic, Poverty Spec, 18" Alloys. |

Okay guy, lets start getting organised. They get booked very quickly so we
need to try organise it asap. How does Sunday suit? We could go around 4pm, 6pm, or 7pm on the 10th or 17th. My preference would be the 10th. ------------- 1995 e36 3.0 M3 Coupe, Daytona Violet, AP Racing BBK, CCFL Angel Eyes, M3 Spoiler, M-Tec 3 Steering Wheel. 2000 530d Steptronic, Poverty Spec, 18" Alloys. |

Killian, you're just going to have to earn some brownie points on Sunday
morning. Step 1, get up very early and go get the papers and ingredients for a full Irish. Step 2, serve breakfast in bed along with papers. Step 3, take the kids on a walk/drive to give the boss some peace and quiet. Step 4, tell her you're going karting at 6 and will be home by 9.  ------------- 1995 e36 3.0 M3 Coupe, Daytona Violet, AP Racing BBK, CCFL Angel Eyes, M3 Spoiler, M-Tec 3 Steering Wheel. 2000 530d Steptronic, Poverty Spec, 18" Alloys. |

Yep a good night had by all I think. Only six of us turned up at 6pm so we
had the safety briefing and got ready for a mini enduro, two sessions of 25 laps. Just as we were about to get into the karts Beemerchris and Bayerische arrived. That 540 must be slower than I imagine. Anyway all eight of us went for a quick practice session and then started the first 25 lap race. I started from 1st as I was number 1. Kin started from 5th but still managed to pass me after a couple of laps. Race two started in reverse to how we finished race 1 so I started in 6th. I was involved in a big incident on the first lap which slowed me down and allowed Kin to pass but we got going again. I was really getting the hang of the track during the second session finding a bit more speed and better lines through the corners. I managed a 25.60 time. Unfortunately Kin had a crappy kart in the second race only posting a 27 second time. He did manage a 25.92 in the first race. I think he would have one if he was in a better kart. The good news is Kylemore are getting a brand new fleet of 200cc karts to replace the tired 160cc ones so the next time should be better and hopefully we all get good karts. ------------- 1995 e36 3.0 M3 Coupe, Daytona Violet, AP Racing BBK, CCFL Angel Eyes, M3 Spoiler, M-Tec 3 Steering Wheel. 2000 530d Steptronic, Poverty Spec, 18" Alloys. |
