[Mods: I've posted this in GD as this isn't an event yet; will post a new thread in Events if it goes ahead]
After our karting event at Castle Combe in February, I've been scouting around looking for another facility that would be better. Scott mentioned Buckmore Park, Chatham; I've been sent one of their brouchers and have just come off the 'phone with them.
We can have a "Mini Grand Prix Sprint Race", of 2.5 hours, driving 70mph Prokarts, for between 16 and 30 drivers:
The cost is £69 per driver. If we get more than 30 drivers, we can have a Super Grand Prix at £64 per driver.
I propose adding a couple of quid extra on that and buying a quality trophy that can be given to the "MBClub Karting" winner with their name engraved on it; we can then use that for future events. (I realise that there are issues to resolve here, but in general, would that be something that you would support?)
There are two dates available: 24 September and 1 October. I think the next one is into November. I can't reserve a date without paying a 50% deposit, which strangely enough, I don't wish to do
What I would like to do is to gauge interest before going any further. If we have enough interest, I'll reserve a date. I would need payment, 50% or all, when I make the deposit.
So, how about it?

Buckmore Park said:What is Sprint Racing?
Exclusive Grand Prix Sprint events consist of a safety briefing and practice session, followed by a series of wheel-to-wheel, adrenaline filled qualifying heats (min. three heats per driver) with up to 16 karts on the circuit. The pressure is on from the second the lights go green until the final chequered flag. The event culminates in a grand final for the leading point scoring competitors, followed by a podium trophy presentation for the top three drivers.
The cost is £69 per driver. If we get more than 30 drivers, we can have a Super Grand Prix at £64 per driver.
