Now then, day before the exam isn't strictly revision... cramming me thinks, good stuff, it actually works!!!

Well i have NEVER revised in my life - and the only two things i have ever failed are:

1. My first driving test
2. My first exam on Personal taxation computations (finance act 2000)

Weigh this up agianst the numerous passes and it is obvious that revision doesnt work!

Besides, they say you should go into the exam relaxed, not having studied half the night (a student studying! what a concept!)

OMG replying to meself!

By the way - everyone cheer for thunderkarts:

Capable of speeds approaching 80mph, the Biz/Sisley Thunderkarts feature a tuned 390cc Honda engine mounted on a lightweight semi-competition chassis. With crisp handling characteristics, the karts are ideal for those with previous Prokart experience who require a greater driving challenge.

YEAH BABY!!!

I'm shit at karting, but warn everyone, i am insane....I will create carnage, death and destruction on every corner. You have been warned.

Not wanting to put anyone off tho - it's great fun

Rye House is at Broxbourne just off the A10 about 3 miles north of the M25.
In fact its quite close to Erm, so he could pop out for a revision break.

When I looked at Buckmore Park the minimum was 18 people.
It may be less for longer races, but then you are going to need
two people per kart, and although its fun a 90min race does go on a bit.

Anyway someone had to make a decision and I made it.

As long as there are no strong objections, lets stick with it.

Can everyone who is prepared to commit to Sunday 1st June please PM me so I can confirm numbers and get it booked if we still have enough.

ouuuu that is close to me

might be able to make it now..........

how long would we be there for??? and what times from? need to see if i can pull it off

Erm
When I asked about availability earlier this week they had two time slots available, 4 to 5pm and 5 to 6pm.
Allowing for briefings and prize giving I expect we will be there for about 2 hrs. You wont need to stay for the prize giving

but you have to attend the briefing and signing on, so arrival time is 30mins before the race start.

yeh i guess they can always mail me my prize
