Max said that he can be at Blacktown station at 7.50am.  There is no train to Doonside at that hour due to track maintenance.

If you can help please post here or contact me on 0418 674 441.

Thanks

Max called me today.  He lives up at Leura in the mountains.  He will be carless that day and is going to come down in the train.  Is there anybody that is either:-

A) coming down who lives in the mountains

OR

 B) could possibly pick him up at one of the railway stations on that line

If you can help out here could you drop me line on 0418 674 441 or post here.

Many Thanks

Something tells me most of the folks who went karting today feel like me and are sleeping it off. ;40  Awesome day, I just wish I wasn't so knackered.

Thanks Nick and Joe for putting this one together. ;42

just imagine how you would feel if you drove a kart with more power...instead of a 4stroke.

Top day lads.  I too would like to thank Nick and Joe for organising this.  Well done lads.  Had a blast.  I'm going to pay for it later in the week.

Great shots Nick.  There are a stack on my camera which I have to go through.  Many thanks Mrs Vettenut for takeing them for me.

I also agree, well done Canberra lads. Good to catch up with ya's again.

nifty I agree that the karts we had needed a little bit more hp for the long sections of the track but as a first timer  I'm not complaining too much;laugh  :) :)

for sure thet are great fun.......but if given the chance try and get a drive of a clubman kart...they only have 15hp or so but the 4 strokes only have about 5hp.
i raced clubman for a number of years,including on a street circuit,where i was clocked by police radar at 156kph.an inch off the ground...sounds fast ...but the higher powered karts were the twin supers.....using 2 x 100cc read valve motors,putting out about 35hp on methanol and revving to 26,000 rpm....yeeeeaaahhhh baby.they were topping out at 210kph...no gears or clutch...direct drive.funny thing was in all classes they used a 380zx as a pace car....cept for the supers who kicked him out the way because he was going to slow for the roll around.

nifty the way that i am at the moment the rigor mortis has set in,the pain killers aren't working ;41

 I would imagine the extra hp + if the kart was tuned to your own individual driving it would only get better.

I saw a twin super in a kart shop when I went with a friend to get his Rotax fixed.  I saw the thing and realising how quick it would be expressed an interest.  The guy wouldn't sell it to me unless I had a certain level karting license - said I'd kill myself.  He was probably right.  ;41

While more power would be nice down the long straights today I found I wasn't driving the 13hp kart I had today to its potential - straights would be more fun but I was working just to improve my lines and driving technique.   I'm also sure we would have gotten into bigger and nastier prangs if we were going faster today. ;40

Past experience tells me anyone feeling muscular aches right now might want to try goanna cream or similar right about now.  ;41
