Well since you got lapped several times, glad to see you don't race like that. BUT at least you kept your kart on the track unlike others!!

Would be interesting to do it again at the go-kart place at Gepps Cross, then the 2 main competitors could really go for it.

Have to say it was a great relaxing day out. Glad Sam knew the back roads otherwise I definitely would have got lost.

To the car hussy of the day (Ben) hope you got more pics than me. Will get them developed this week then scan them on here.


Will try and get another day organised for next month on a Sunday. But will definitely be waiting until my back feels better, am paying for it today.

I still think that the gokarts are rigged!!! How the hell is it otherwise possible for the lightest person to be the slowest on the straights? Ahahahaha, that's it, I let you beat me

Just goes to show what such a good sport I am!!!

As for the pics, I'll see about posting them up when I get home

Yes it was a great day out!! Well done to all who organised it, and it sucks that i could not have come earlier. But, I still managed to meet up with the others for a chat.

It will be good to do another one soon.

I had a good time, Go Karts were great except Dave the maniac .

Yes Gary Mt Lofty Road was fun, can't wait to get onto the track though.

Thanks to all that turned up it was a good day.

I definitely think Gepps Cross karts would be a good day as the karts there have a "bump cage" around the kart so there wouldn't be much backing off, the only problem is that there will be no running off onto the nice soft grass but straight into a nice soft tyre wall.
But a couple of things came to mind on the way home.
1. I now know why Luke's nickname is Lunatic_Luke!
2. I definitely have to hurry up with my suspension and other mods, because i was left for dead on the way down Mt Lofty.

Overall a great day, cant wait for the next one!!

Thanks, that probably would have been a good idea, I hadn't been down there at night before, and i'm a sucker for lookouts, so i was trying to drive down with one hand while taking a video of it on my mobile (which didn't really turn out to well, so next time it will be a proper camera!), oh and also my stock "boat like" suspension doesn't really like corners.

So, you guys took it off the gokart track and onto the roads. Hehehehe, you guys are a worry!

Just keep in mind they watch you lie a hawk there, and at the richmond track. And they WILL rip you off the track if you give someone one too many 'love taps'

Just thought you'd like to know that before you guys plan a day playing dodgem cars at 40kph!!!

At least you guys didn't have air suspension which was on normal not sports so the ride wouldn't be too bumpy for my back. You all left us on the bends to Mt Gambier, but we caught up on the straights.

I'm not sure what Kris was thinking as he was talking to me on the mobile when we hit some tight corners - no was not orgasmic.

Will keep you all posted about future events.

These are probably the better ones of the day. Obviously they have been cropped and shrunk to fit here. If you'd like the hi-res versions, PM me (don't ask here, that way I'll already have your email address!) and I'll send them off to you.

Nah, my stereo would drown you out anyway.

Will give it a rest for a few weeks (back still ******* me off).

Will then do a test run for the orienteering cruise so that I can fine tune the instructions. Will be looking to do this maybe 2nd weekend in August. Gives people plenty of time to raise funds (get tax refunds), and get cars organised. Also end of financial year always creates massive increase in hours at work, so July out of the question for me.

Will keep you all posted.
