    AGM Karting

    Ok ive been on the phone to Buckmore park most probably the best kart track ever. I said i was calling on behalf of Puntiosports and what she could offer me as a group she went through a few options i wont really go into detail. at the moment. Im awaiting a Pack to come through the post so i can decide whats the best action for this event. The prices seem a little expensive but that is per kart so if you did a 3 hour indurance you could split the price between 3 and it works out cheaper.

    I need 15 names to do it at Buckmore park www.buckmore.co.uk.

    so please show your interest by adding your names below and if you want any guests.

    Thanks, XploitGT

    Personally this is the best kart track I've driven. The pro karts, the slower of the two models will still hit 70 down the back straight (most normal karts will do about 40 if you get a long enough straight). This is an outdoor track, and is serious stuff (to the point that for liability purposes they have to own their own ambulance).

    I am all for this, perhaps at the end of summer when I have a bit more money but still. I know the old man would be interested in doing it as well, so by all means keep me informed. Endurance racing is certainly the way forward as well.
    I agree its a little more expensive but you get a far better experiance say we went for the prokart 3hour endurance it works out £86.00 pp all in and that is Quite good imo 3 hours tracktime between teams and if there are teams of 3 it makes it a little more interesting.

    I will leave it for 2 weeks to see how much interest i accumualte.

    Unfortunately I think more people would prefer somewhere like rayleigh for £30 a head for a series of heats and a final between people all racing together.

    I also think you could negotiate a good discount there if we were to hire the place out for perhaps 20+ people.

    ill speak to rayleigh as a back up but imo the track at rayleigh is crap and grip is an issue even for the slow karts
