Southern Heats of SXOC All-Ireland Karting

[Wookie]

Following on from Skeets thread for go-karting for the lads in the North, would Anyone be interested in a go-karting get-together for us lot way down in the south so we can all put names to faces etc? Just gauging interest at the moment as I am awaiting details back from the company.

It will probably be mid to end of Feb but I will firm up a date and cost when I know what sort of interest we have.

Looking at this place:

cheers:thumbs:

[gsi_ire]

i would be up for it.

looks like the same track layout as the karting in rose green!

[Derek]

I'll go. One been once and good laugh. They've got New Karts there too i believe.

[Fitz1979]

It's watergrasshill where they do the drifting rounds sometimes. A bit bigger then rosegreen and great fun. Irishpaddy's been there before if I remember right.

[Socky]

I'll go too.. karting be good craic

[JP]

Assuming it's not the weekend of the 22nd, or the northern one, I'm in! :thumbs:

JP

[Irishpaddy]

i was there before.... the carts at the time were twin engined chain driven things... i kept loosing the back end cos they were SOOOOOOO quick....

at the time there was feck all rules as well... if you when off you pushed your cart back on and off you went again... great day out!

i'd be up for this as the girlfriends mams house to about a 10 minute drive from the track... so i have somewere to kip :D


that pictures is verly old now...

[Fitz1979]

YAY. everyone back to Richie's girlfriends Moms house after then :D

[getrag]

Ya definetely up for it, I've been there loads of times and it's great craic. Last time i went in the pitch black and pissing rain and it was the best ever, backing them in on the brakes and trying to hold a drift is so much fun in the new carts!

Also, my friend's dad owns Kartworld and I can probably get us a group discount.... :)

A full grand prix is the way to go me thinks

[Wookie]

Just spoke to someone there and it's going to cost €630 for a full grand prix with up to 20 participants. Thats a 35min race and 15mins warm up time. Once I know how many deffinates we have I can then work out prices for members and non-members and then firm up a date.:thumbs:

[gofaster_s13]

Definatly go depending on dates :thumbs:

[Fitz1979]

I like that you confirm you're going and back out all in one little sentance :D

[getrag]

Spoke with my friend there on Saturday night and she said that she would give us a discount for whatever type of race we wanted... I just need to give her advance warning with a date and numbers... happy days :)

[JP]

Christmas has come bang-on-time then! :D

JP

[choco]

id be up for it depending on dates also

[JP]

So what's the latest on this then folks? :)

JP

[Muttly]

I dunno but I'd be up for it aswell. Its only a few minutes up the road.

[getrag]

Ya the offer still stands for a price reduction.... I think it's just a matter of putting a date to it.... what ye reckon - before or after January meet?

[JP]

before or after January meet?

February meet! :whip: :sxoc:

I'd say after cause it's not really much notice if you want to get a big crowd going from counties that aren't local. Mind you, it'd give people something to look forward to in January if it was before it! :) (post-Christmas boredom etc! ;))

I vote January! :nod:

JP

[Derek]

Janurary i mightened have my car come feburary. Plus We can always get more numbers outsiders if were stuck for numbers.

[stiv]

i think i will make it to that if it is after the meet in feb, got a lot to do before it and it's going to be tight to get the car to the r/r day, but it is going one way or the other:nod: ,

[JP]

Time for a poll Wookie? :)

[sxed]

well up for that .. only over the road from mine!!! shweet!.. track can be rented for a full/half day there too!!! drift session,,, gravel run offs too well safe

[Wookie]

UPDATE

Im going to leave this until after the RRday/Meet in February and then firm up a date:thumbs:

I've also already arranged a rolling road day for us lot down South and will post up details at a later date, just so that events are spaced out a bit:nod: so watch this space;)

Also monthly meets coming soon:sxoc:

[Muttly]

I've also already arranged a rolling roday for us lot down South and will post up details at a later date, just so that events are spaced out a bit:nod: so watch this space;)Good man Rich, hopefully the south one will give me enough time to get a few bits done to the car.


Also monthly meets coming soon:sxoc:Good man. The last one was a great meet, even if it was only 4 cars.

[Wookie]

Good man Rich, hopefully the south one will give me enough time to get a few bits done to the car.

Wouldn't be a GT2871 by any chance;)

[Muttly]

Wouldn't be a GT2871 by any chance;)That, a new FMIC and a Power FC D-Jetro. And if I feel brave maybe a set of Tomei cams, they're nice and cheap of Apex at them moment.

[JP]

Good man. The last one was a great meet, even if it was only 4 cars.

Agreed! :nod: :D

OI! Slow down!!! I can't keep up with this modding frenzy of yours!! :rant: You'll be beating me in every respect soon..! :wack: :p

JP

[getrag]

OK, bringing this thread alive again, I know Wookie was doing some homework on this and putting together some plans... I'm thinking we should do this sometime in the next month....

I rang my friend who's dad owns kartworld and she said she would do us a deal on a grandprix session....

There's a couple of options for the grandprix, the best is; 10 min qualifying/practice session followed by 40 min grand prix. This option has the most track time.

The only snag here lads is we need no less than 12 people (15 preferably) for the session.

So, dates aside, can we get a show of hands of people that would be interested?

Update

Just adding a poll here to see what date you guys want this to take place. Due to prior commitments Im not going to be able to make it until the 28th April at the earliest, but I'll put an option in the poll if anyone wants it before then.:nod:

I am also looking at combining this with our first meet as the landowner of a proposed location still hasn't got back to me, so we can kill 2 birds with the same stone at this event:thumbs:

So all with their names down cast your vote:thumbs:

[JP]

Is there a "meh" option? :) I've no preference..!

JP

[Wookie]

Your banned from this one ;)......... just choose the last option then :ghey::D

oh.......I slightly edited your go-karting thread title as well;)

[JP]

[Wookie]

Could the two people that voted, please vote again as I made a cock up with the poll. I think it was Derek and JP:thumbs:

[JP]

Voted! :thumbs:

Bumpitty bump... c'mon Wookie - start poking people in the eye & fix a date! :D

Come people get your votes in, you've all been given the option to vote so use it if you want the event to go ahead:nod:

[getrag]

Ya c'mon guys, we have 9 peoples name down but only 6 votes!!!

Let's get the finger out with this one, I can't wait to have a rip around that track after watchin the driftin up there last weekend.....

[JP]

Votage... :thumbs:

[Fitz1979]

If it's in May some time I should be able to come along.

[JP]

Hmmm... so the heats may be all around the same time... nice! :thumbs: By the way, in case it wasn't obvious you don't have to be from the North/South/Centre to go to the respective days if you miss one! :thumbs: Just thought I'd point that one out to everyone! ;)

JP

[chrisdsx]

that track looks so much better then cillmore saw a vid on utube of ome guy who slapped a gixxer engine in to a kart kinda gives me an idea to build one of my own

[Wookie]

Sorry for the delay in getting this sorted lads but I've been moving house. It was a 50/50 split in votes so Im going to organise it for the 5th May.

These are the names of people that expressed interest so could you all confirm that you are still attending so we know numbers and can work out a cost for the event.

I'm still up for it....

[Derek]

5th of may is well and trully out for me. Rally of lakes weekend. I'll be in Killarney for weekend. Woudn't miss it for anything. Also 28th is 1st round of prodrift.

[JP]

What Derek said I'm afraid! :( Was just offered a place to stay in Killarney if I did go to the Rally - I'd say leave it off til the following weekend or the next one - ours isn't til the 12th of May anyway & there doesn't seem to be any rush.

JP

[getrag]

Hmm, what a predicament, I'd be down at the Lakes for a while as well i'd say....

There doesn't seem enough people interested in doing a gp anyway, we need 13 minimum to book the track to ourselves.... I'm thinking just a regular karting session, that we could organise into some sort of race....

[Wookie]

Hmmm exactly......what to do. I won't be available for the 12th as Im off getting fitted for a suit for the wedding :rolleyes: and the 19th Im off back to Wales for the weekend as I miss the sheep:wack:

[JP]

and the 19th Im off back to Wales for the weekend as I miss the sheep:wack:
.....You can take the man out of the bog..... :D

Delay it off til a Sunday or whenever suits the lot of ye! :thumbs:

[getrag]

They don't do grand prix's at the weekend anyway!! Why don't we just meet up some weekday evening and give it a lash and have a bit of craic, great evenings these days....

[JP]

They don't do grand prix's at the weekend anyway!! Why don't we just meet up some weekday evening and give it a lash and have a bit of craic, great evenings these days....

Cause that excludes anyone travelling from afar! :p ...Or are you afraid you might be beaten by some out-of-towners on your own turf??? :ghey:

[Wookie]

pppfffffff.......that's rubbish talk, coming from a skoda driver:ghey: :D ;)

[JP]

*Insert witty comeback here* :D

& yes, I do have humble beginnings! :)

[getrag]

Ya Skoda boy!!! You couldn't pull a skin off a rice pudding sitting in a kart!

Anyhow, I mean it'd be great to do it on the weekend, but we can't do a grandprix, they don't allow it..... it takes the whole hour, it's too busy up there to do that.

So i suggest a weekday evening grandprix or a weekend general session, whereby we judge the winners by fastest laps?

[JP]

Ya Skoda boy!!! You couldn't pull a skin off a rice pudding sitting in a kart!

Tell you what, we'll let our respective cars decide that one... :D In fact, I'll take yours down some twisties & as long as you promise to not leave mine in a ditch I'll still WHOOOP yo ass boi!!! :whip: :p :D

Nothing like some good sh1t-talking to get people in the mood for a race! ;D

[getrag]

sniff, sniff, do I smell some crap? Surprised you know what a ditch is cityboy!! :p Besides, you couldn't even keep it in the right gear in the Jack Lynch Tunnel, :whip: so how could you stand a chance down the back roads!! :D

Lol, clearly this is the headline rivalry for the karting! :nod:

[JP]

Let's GET IT OOOOONNNNNN!!!! :sxoc::sxoc::sxoc::sxoc::sxoc::sxoc:

[getrag]

Ok rivalries to one side, when are we going to do this? If the 5th of May doesn't suit anyone, then we should surely go for the other date..... the 28th April (next weekend).

Hands up who's in favour.......

1. Getrag
2. .....

[JP]

Prodrift in Mondello dude, sorry! :( I want to come down & show Getrag how to drive so don't make it that weekend please! :D

How bout Sunday May 13th or Sat May 19th? :nod:

JP

[Muttly]

I'll be just out of hospital on the 13th and the 19th Drifting is on in Rosgreen.

[JP]

20th then! :p I'm not even organising this!!! :whip: :wack:

My how the summer gets us busy..! :cool:

[Wookie]

I think it loosely translates as: "You're right!!!! The sheep love it the way us Welsh do it JP;)"

I presume he's talking about shearing as well...:rolleyes:



:D

[getrag]

ya i'm up for the 20th..... Is anyone else intrested in going to this?!! there's only the 4 of us posting!! if that's the case we've no chance of getting a grand prix and only a small session is likely.......

[gibbon75]

For me the 20th can be OK,but sometimes I have to work Saturdays too.But I won't know this till the 13th.

[JP]

Take it that anyone who has posted is subscribed, so although they may not be posting there's plenty of time to PM/text them in advance of you want to firm stuff up! ;)

JP

[Wookie]

If people can't be arsed to look and respond to the thread then Im not going to be txting people asking them to come:no:. I can send them a pm letting them now of a date (doubt there would be much response, same as the calendars) but we really need other peoples input at what dates are do-able:nod:

[getrag]

To be honest, i thnk there's only going to be a small group of us, so i think we should run a night and have all of us qualify for the next round!

[JP]

i think we should run a night and have all of us qualify for the next round!
Blatant cheating anyone?? :wack:

[getrag]

not cheating, just special qualifying conditions!

[JP]

not cheating, just special qualifying conditions!
Lol! Awww bless, you need "special conditions" to win?? :D It's ok getrag, we'll make this the "special" race for those with "special" racing abilities... :D

[gibbon75]

I have to work on 5th :cry:

[getrag]

Lol! Awww bless, you need "special conditions" to win?? :D It's ok getrag, we'll make this the "special" race for those with "special" racing abilities... :D

I'll give you special treatment when i kick your ass on track mofo!! Speaking of special treatment, you better save some of that for your car :eek: :D I hear panel beaters are pretty pricey these days!!!:eek: :D

[JP]

I'll give you special treatment when i kick your ass on track mofo!! Speaking of special treatment, you better save some of that for your car :eek: :D I hear panel beaters are pretty pricey these days!!!:eek: :D

:D

[getrag]

Which looks better than it did before !!!!

Ah seriously though lads is anything happening with this at all? I mean it's not that difficult...

[wratch]

when is this again?

[Wookie]

Saturday 16th June 2007 @ 15:00pm

The list below are the people who expressed interest. The Grand Prix is a 5min warm up and 35 minute endurance race or we could go for the heats then a final, but they said the endurance is better value for money. It cost's €700 to book the track for an hour so if we get 14 (max number) it will cost €50 per head. The less that come the more it's going to cost per person. To make the numbers up Im thinking of letting members bring a partner/or friend, but obviously members will have first refusal:thumbs:

We need to have deffinate "yes Im coming" otherwise it will leave the rest of us to pick up the additional cost.

Just to add, there's a maximum of 14 people for the Grand Prix. If we pass that figure then members will take the place of non-members on this list, sorry lads but that's the SXOC rules, as paying members get priority

It's booked and I've added the time to post #96. It's the only time they could give me on the day for the Endurance Grand Prix.:thumbs: and it gives you dubs time to drive down:D

Just to let you know that any deffinates that pull out at the last minute or do not turn up on the day will have their names added to this list http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=179669 as Im having to pay the deposit on my own Credit card, and as previously mentioned the less people we have then it will increase the cost for everyone else.

Face it lads, I'm number one on this list for a reason....... :D :D :D

LETS GET IT ON!!!!!!!! :sxoc: :sxoc: :sxoc: :sxoc: :sxoc:

[Wookie]

Just to add, there's a minimum of 14 people for the Grand Prix. Members will take priority but they can accomodate up to 22-23 people.

So to clarify things (as I fecked it up my self). If we get the minimum and over of 14people it will be €50 per person, less than 14 then we will have to split the €700 track cost between us. :thumbs:

Everyone also needs to turn up by 14:30pm so that we can get organised:thumbs:

Also I spoke to the owner and it will be ok for us to have a mini-meet after the karting in the car park just to have a chat and look at the cars......oh and take the piss out of jp:D;):D

[JP]

Is it me or are there only 5 out of 12 people on that list actually from the South?? :wack: (Not including Brian in that one - He's ours! :p :D) Oh, & fxk might be able to make it along if the GTR is still running after his trip to the 'Ring! :thumbs:

JP

[getrag]

ya that'd probably be right...... come on guys take the finger out!!!

Ya I should be up for this.

Any plans for the saturday evening? are people staying in Cork?

[Wookie]

We are having a mini-meet in the car park afterwards and I wanted to take some photos with my new gadget:) but I have a birthday party in the evening:( so Im going to have to leave at about 17:30, so I was going to ask one of the other Cork lads if they wanted to arrange anything for the evening.

[david_connoll]

not sure i can make it now , i think there a round of novice class in pro drift that day , damn!!!!!!!!

[Muttly]

not sure i can make it now , i think there a round of novice class in pro drift that day , damn!!!!!!!!Ya in Rosegreen, I've to make a call about ti so I may not be around either. :(

[Wookie]

Could you let me know to today please Mart:thumbs:

All - I havent taken deposit's off people for this event so it's going to be unfair on the others if anyone pulls out from now until next week as it's going to push the price up for us all if we have less than 14:nod:

[Irishpaddy]

well i'm 100% going... i'll be cork all weekend... the misus's mams place is only 10 mins or so away:D

[JP]

Wookie, give me a bell with about a two days notice if you need an extra body or two & I'll a few along no bother! :thumbs:


Ya in Rosegreen, I've to make a call about ti so I may not be around either. :(
:ghey: - I didn't give you enough abuse in work about it so I figure here's a good place to reinforce it! :D

[getrag]

Righto, I think I'm being handed the role of entertainment officer for Saturday evening - so here's a few suggestions, let me know what ye think!

After karting, we can either hang around Kartworld for a while or head straight back to Cork, and congregate in Eastgate Little Island, for a bit of a pose/nitter natter.

It'll be getting to dinner time then, so we could either eat at the KFC's or Pizza Hut thats there..................or we could head Kinsale for a nice bit of grub around the town and soak up some of Cork's Riveria atmosphere;)

The alternative is to head into Cork City but the parking situation there would be difficult.....

After grub, we park up the cars and get ready to go out, and i'm thinking if the weather is nice we could hit up the Franciscan well beer garden in town (they make their own beers, bit like the porterhouse for all you dubliners) and then take it down to a club or something.....

let me know what ye think and we can get organising

[Wookie]

Goodman Brian:thumbs: ;) Just to let you know we have the option of having a nitter/natter in the car park after the karting as the owner said it was ok:nod: and I want to take some photo's:D

[Fitz1979]

Hows the weather holding down there? Raining a bit up here. What happens if it's bucketing down on the day (touching wood :) ) do they cancel?

[Wookie]

It's on and off drizzling ATM. If it rains it becomes entertaining:D Don't think they'll call it off but I will check:thumbs:

[Muttly]

They let you rain in the wet last I heard.

Anyway I won't be there, finally got confirmed that I'm working Saturday all day in Rosegreen, but.... anyway around on Sunday want to meet up for a road trip??

Anyone heard of the Vee???

[Muttly]

The alternative is to head into Cork City but the parking situation there would be difficult.....Jurys Inn out in Washington street have great safe underground parking thats public even though its not advertised and doesn't look like it, but it is, I use it when I'm up there for nights out.

[Fitz1979]

I wanna head up to the Jap meet at Junction one on Sunday, so I won't be sticking around all night, though I won't be running off straight away either.

[getrag]

Hows the weather holding down there? Raining a bit up here. What happens if it's bucketing down on the day (touching wood :) ) do they cancel?

Oh, I feckin hope it is wet!! It's so much more fun, power on oversteer anyone??

Can we get some more feedback on what ye want to do afterwards......

Are any of ye planning to stay in Cork for the weekend? or interested in going on the piss sat night?

Muttly, that might be an option - what's the entrance like for nose / splitter scraping? - I've learned a whole new respect!!

[Kopijack]

I wouldn't mind a couple of drinks saturday night lol

[Muttly]

Muttly, that might be an option - what's the entrance like for nose / splitter scraping? - I've learned a whole new respect!!I can fit in with no problems. The only dodgy part is gonig over the bridge to get into Jurys, keep going pas tthe hotel and around to the left and then there the entrance to the underground parking.

Actually it'd be pretty cool for a few photos down there.

[getrag]

I wouldn't mind a couple of drinks saturday night lol

good man yerself!! Where do ye all planning to stay?

So far for after karting and meet action, we've got.....

- Getrag
- JP and missus
- Kopijack
- Fitz 1979

so what the rest of ye doing?
- Stiv (+ scott )
- Derek (+ 2 friends )
- Gsi_Ire
- DigitalBrian
- Irishpaddy
- fxk

[getrag]

Just checked the weather - and it looks good

http://www.meteireann.ie/#

[Fitz1979]

Bugger. If that weather accurate my car will be all mucky when I get there. Though I'm sure you locals know a good garage we can scrub up before the meet pictures.

[Muttly]

I spoke to Kartworld this morning and it will go ahead if it's raining:D They provide wet weather gear but it may be an idea to bring a spare set of clothes just incase you get soaked:nod:

I have to say it's a pretty poor show from us Sotherners with only 4 attending:( So see you lot at 14:30pm tomorrow in the car park at Kartworld.

oh......I've got a few small prizes to give out to the top 4 finishing members as well;)

[Muttly]

I'd be there except for drifting. Believe me I want to go but getting paid to be on track comes before paying to be on track. It also means I get nice cheap tires!

[JP]

I wouldn't mind a couple of drinks saturday night lol
We're with you on that! :thumbs:

[Derek]

Where were the black flags??:D

Seen the orange flags out a few times alrite.. Mostly when i decided to turn around on track to face the on coming karts.. :wack:

@ Getrag.. Don't worry about it at least you qualify for the All Ireland for being one of the highest placed Southern members. :rolleyes:

[JP]

Right ladies - who amongst us would like to go North this time for another session??? :D One last time to redeem yourself if you haven't qualified for the finals yet! :ghey: *COUGH* Getrag! *COUGH* :D

Northern Karting Heats 7th July (http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?p=3358765)

:sxoc:

[getrag]

No the 7th of July, I'll be doing it on a bigger scale.....i.e. Anglesey Grand Prix Track (oh god I hope to come home in one piece!!)

C'mon I surely qualify already as being one of the highest placed southern members!!

[Wookie]

Considering there were only 4 of us from the south I think we all qualify:nod: ;) 15th, 15th, 15th, 15th :ghey: nananana..........:D;)

oh.....and all us Southerners had a chat before you turned up and decided to let you beat us as we would all qualify anyway:ghey: :D

[Fitz1979]

It wasn't fair for you guys really as JP and myself got so much practice driving like lunatics on the way down that we were fully psyched up to lunatic mode when we got on the track.

Not even Irishpaddy's destruction of my karts steering ability (with that full speed broadside) held me back.
