Quote from Gerdoner :

Nice idea, here are some random shots I edited
Btw, thx for showing my mistake in the 3rd pic :P

Now I have to do a news item just to show off those pics

OOOO, can I join, my name is Turkey

Quote from Timo1992 :

Well Jason tell me if you're going to continue this in the next GTAL rounds and I may sign up at Twitter and make some comments etc :P

Sounds good, I will advertise more next time and do my best

I would love to include in race comments from other teams

Well we had to have some insider info, to keep the masses glued to the tweets, all 3 of them :P

Quote from Wilko868 :

You're wasting your time if you don't tell us about it before the race!

Well I did, just not in this thread, and it was a test

I ran a live tweet of the whole race from SR's perspective, so please take a look and tell me if I am wasting my time :P http://twitter.com/sonicrealms_lfs

Updated Sonicrealms Racing lineup.

When do we have to confirm our lineup by?

Cool, I hope yours go ahead aswell. I am sure that even if you are not driving by then you could get a lift from someone

I was under the impression James, that you were just organising a arrive and drive with you and 1 or 2 other friends, then decided to see if anyone else fancied it. It seemed clear to me that you were not offering to replace the UK kart meet this year, hence why I didn't feel that I needed to consider that when planning this. I am sorry if you have to cancel your event, but am a little confused as in your OP you did say that it was something that you were going to do without us anyway

Yeah, it was clear that the other one wasn't meant to be a big event, and since no one came up with anything, I decided to run this again. Will be good to see you again Becky

Also, I was thinking of going to that one, but £50 for 35 mins karting seemed a bit steep for me. This is £55 for 1.5 hours karting and all the beer and food you can take, plus free accommodation, as you know :P

Date changed to July 24th, hopefully this is OK.

Good luck guys, I'm sure you will be around for a long time

Well I am flexible on the dates atm, but would go no earlier than mid July, as I have work to do on my house and a holiday

Quote from CSF :

-1000% chance of me making that date. :hidesbehi

What date can you make in August/late July?

August 7th

Quote from Hahmo :

I guess you dont want any random finnoobs, who lives in ireland.. so.. hf without me

Your welcome if you want, we had a few from outside UK last year!

Cool, no dog this time?

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), projector and of course there will be plenty of beer and a BBQ.

For those not wanting to stay at mine, there are plenty of cheap hotels close to the karting.

Just thought I would post my plan for the weekend.

Provisionally booked the same track as last year, for the same price. Date set at 7th August, though I could change that if need be.

So that is approx £35 for 1.5 hours karting

As I have booked this, I will open up a new thread to gather signups and provide information.

Quote from 1993weeman :

If i have the chance i would like to come down to this. All depending if your doing it/date/money and that. Oh and if am allowed

Well maybe you, your brother, Boothy and CSF could share the cost and travel down together?
