Well, it’s almost here, this Sunday from 2pm – 7pm.
Alan McIntosh the organizer of the Polini Scottish Mini Moto Championship is bringing Round 3, south of the border to Karting North East at Warden Law (Between Houghton le Spring and Seaham Harbour).
This event has also been kindly supported by the Durham Agency Against Crime, the Durham Advanced Motorcyclists and HM Plant Ltd
Practice starts at 2pm, followed by qualifying and then racing through to approx 7pn.
Racing will be on the full circuit which is 1.2kms in length and there will be various classes of racing.
There is ample new tarmac parking for cars and motorcycles and great viewing around the circuit.
Both ends of the circuit have raised banking where you can get a good general overview of the circuit
Admission is free (although you might wish to drop some change into a bucket to help the club which is all run voluntary)
The main reception area has a cafe which will be open throughout the event and sells tea, coffee, soft drinks and also serves up chips, burgers, sandwiches etc if you’re feeling hungry.
The best bit is last – you’ll be able to see our local young riders competing against their Scottish counterparts and after watching this you’ll never want to watch Moto GP again :-) (You may even want to get your son/daughter, grandson / granddaughter or nephew or niece's involved)
Please come along and support the riders – Karting North East has recently come under the ownership of World Rally Car driver Guy Wilks, who finished 3rd in this years 100th Monte Carlo Rally and he has made significant improvements to the centre already with more in the pipeline. There is a new fleet of thirty karts and some great packages that you might want to look at for a club session of four wheel fun.
