    Go Karting

    Anyone even been before!

    was at Kart North east in sunderland today on the outdoor track! loads of us went, all the managers/owners from other bars etc. Since ive never even drove a car before, made me feel a little nervous, soon as i got into it i really enjoyed myself, really recommend to go if you aint!

    your forearms ACHE for ages afterwards fighting with those little steering wheels!

    we used to regulary go to one on the Dragonville industrial estate, an indoor one, was only £10 per session - we went about 1 per month, had a mini league going and everything

    Once when I was at the one in Durham (which is class!) with my dad, we got the 60 lap things....but split it into two.

    The kart i had had seriously heavy steering...and I literallly couldnt straighten my arms fully for a good few days and it took nearly 2 weeks for the pain to go away :lol:

    yeah that one at warden law sunderland is a decent size. always nervous at first but after couple of laps you think you're king of the road...

    :D

    always a great laff.

    That outdoor one in sunderland, the most daunting thing is that first corner on a rolling start! It's mayhem!

    The pain the day after is always agony, it feels like you've just done a heavy weight boxers training :lol:

    Go Karting is mint :up: i've been a few times. I went to the one in Houghton le Spring. it was awesome. we went in ibiza too. the spanish bloke asked us to write our names on a piece of paper for our lap times nd stuff, when he printed the results off at the end everyone of us had either wrote Nigel Mansell or damon hill :lol: he was very confused bless him
