Just a little heads up if anyone over in the Teesside area at the end of the month.   Staged at Teesside Autodrome (Middlesborough) from the Friday (team weigh in / registration) through to Sunday afternoon.   Practice / Qualify starts Saturday morning around 10am. Then the 24 hours starts around midday/1pm. Entry for spectators is usually free, but as the event is run in conjunction with Help for heroes, most adults are asked to buy a wrist band for a fiver.   Last year there was nearly 80 teams taking part and Teesside claims that the autodrome is the longest kart circuit in the world With the twin engine zip karts - a good lap is around 1m 20.   Anyhoo - I will be racing in the Clubcento team in a circuit Hire Kart, although we will be racing against the Pro and Clubman classes too.   So if you are in the area and at a bit of a loose end that weekend then drop by as its a great laugh.   (Hey maybe BM could get a team togther for next year ? ? ? )   80 karts tearing around under floodlights all through the night is quite an experience   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UY8JHMzYarA  << last years racing                                                                                                                                                                             

  Sounds like a good event, tcat good luck with your races                                                                                                                                                                              

I nominate Beepa for BM go-cart team captain                                                                                                                                                                              

thanks Sandi - always have a good laugh on this event.   we ran two teams for the last two events (actually the womens team kicked our backsides when they entered in 2009)                                                                                                                                                                             

Just a little bump up on this one  as we have finalised the team members after one dropped out so now with a team of 5 1/2 (The half being a very fast lady who cannot do a full 24 hours due to driving commitments she wouldnt be able to recover for in time - but she is going to do two sessions)   Drop in and say Hi though if you are around the area, there is a decent cafe at the venue (which is open all through the race anyway)   I'll be easy to recognise as I will be the only racer in  red and black Triumph biker gear in the go kart.    oo  getting excited now as its only a few weeks away                                                                                                                                                                              

what's the dates , might get to this if am not working , only 40mins from me                                                                                                                                                                              

Race is from 1pm Saturday 27th August - Sunday 28th
