This is a soap box event that will be taking place on the 13th of September,for the first year we want to run a maximum of 30 karts,place to be held is glynde Sussex,if any of you budding bulders want to have a go let me no or pop your name down on hear.this also could make a good group meeting of kits,we would have a marked of area,so you don't get a stray kart ending up on your passenger seat,so who's up for it?

As for spec,I am working on it as they have left it to me :D ,tho as long as it isn't shop bought,has a secured seat,and no protruding objects,I am sure it will be good to go,just to add I am a scrutiner,may need a hand with that if anyone is interested

I'm very interested but I will have to check with my daughters as it is close to their birthdays.

Are you intending to have objects to go over like on the redbull ones, as could if allowed call for suspension .
I take this is a one at a time issue and not a head to head race,
. performance at the start ?
P.S. does it show I am interested. :evil:

We have a couple of SKCC guys up here in Jockland who race these . They have a CAD designed cart and bike. It's a well supported sport up here (we have lots of hills). Depending on the route they can reach over 60 mph but a crash at that speed hurts - a lot :D
