Guys,
I have consulted with my better half who has reminded me that it is our wedding anniversary on the weekend of the Honda Festival, and that she has a surprise that weekend which does not involve being at the kart track or indeed anywhere near Crail. I am therefore going to have to give it a miss this year.

aye its easy to forget the unimportant things in life eh matt..
and then there were 10...
right come on - more feedback. those out there that have prokarts that havent currently raced more than twice this year...anything would help. is it lack of free time, spare dosh, cant get a team mate, cost of equipment/chassis/engines to be competitive?
PM me if you want to say but dont want it in the general domain. |

Hello all,
As some of you are aware My son Max and Myself (Neill-Racing Kart #11) are new to Karting at Crail. Since we only started karting in April 2010 we are still in a learning phase and we are not best placed to suggest alternative race formats, that said; from what I see, there are 4 tracks listed on the Scottish Karting site, namely Crail, Banff, Golspie & Larkhall. As I understand it, from briefly looking at their respective websites, it is only Larkhall that does not run a proKart class (Please forgive me if I have got this wrong)if this is the case, and each of the three tracks that run a prokart class are experiencing the same problems with grid sizes, then would there be any mileage in contacting these clubs and suggesting a combined format that would suit all three clubs, I know this may require additional travelling throughout the season, but as I see it the majority of the lads who race at crail are travelling and come equipped with their own race weekend accomodation. This suggestion may be unworkable, however it is a suggesion after all.
Regards,
Allan Neill |

Alright Allan. larkhall only runs msa meetings not sure about the other two tracks. we have been discussing holding an enduro at the track(larkhall) inviting pro-karts/world formula but no plans afoot. the format at crail is non-msa and very different as it is prokarts only.

Kev, last round for this season is November (3rd Sunday). if you need a second driver, now is the time to get the practice in for you both before the weather turns.
Malc is correct on the Golspie/Banff tracks - they list prokarts but its hire only. from what i understand there isnt an option for owner drivers.
Crail is therefore Scotlands only true prokart/endurance championship and is the place to race for owner drivers. I contacted the Grampian Kart club (Boyndie) about running owner driver for free practice over 2 yrs ago and i never heard back. |
