Thruxton Charity Kart race
Discussion
I've been to a few of these events before taking photos, and they look like good fun. The next one is at Thruxton kart centre on the 5th May (The weekend of the BTCC race.) It costs £220 to enter a team, (£55 each for 4 people.) and with all the interest in karting here last christmas, I thought some of you might be interested in forming an SAS team?!
I'm not sure if I'm good enough to drive myself (Having only got 9th on the grid at the Christmas race and then spinning out on the first corner!) but if I don't drive I could always be team photographer. It depends who's interested.
They usually work by allocating one or more professional drivers to the amateur teams entered. They can be from all sorts of evnts, BTCC, GT's F3 etc or if your really unlucky you might get a commentator! (fortunately I've not ever seen James Allen at one of these events.)
With the standard of some of the drivers at the christmas meet I think we could stand a good chance of winning! Event into here;

Note I'm not volunteering to do all the organising although of course I'm happy to help out, but I'd rather not do the finances!!!
Anyone interested?

Anyone else?! In an attempt to generate interest, if anyone wants to see the sort of thing that goes on you can see the previous race either NOW on men and motors or on Monday 26th March 2007 on ITV4 1930 to 2100.
I've decided I don't mind doing the organising now if I can get 3 other drivers!

Although the Thruxton race will (obviously!) be outdoors!

After the reaction to the last kart meeting, I thought there'd be loads interested in this! 
I thought this was the Surrey forum! 
Right we need to get this sorted quickly. Ben is that bloke you mentioned on Saturday a definite? If he is I'll emial the organiser this week to see if theres any space left. If so, then we'll need to enter as soon as possible so we'll have to work out some way of collecting the money up so I can pay him.
It looks like there is still places at the moment but they don't update the site that often so more of the 15 slots could have gone.
