Hi all,
We have been invited to take part in a test/interview with Torque race magazine at Rye House on the 8th June 2010, all Aixro invited.
The magazines web site is www.torque-online.co.uk. have a look

I presume this is subject to dry conditions: a wet track would be less than ideal for such an occasion.
However, just as Gordon Brown abolished boom and bust, the weather gods appear to have abolished spring-time rain in southern England.
So we’ll have no such impediment and I look forward to seeing lots of the guys there.

Hi All,
Mike should have emailed everyone to say that all Aixro karts have been invited to Stretton in Leicester Sunday 10th October from 4 - 6pm FOC to show off to the race guys what the karts can do. I will be allowing a number of the regular racers to have a test in one of my karts. PLEASE COME ALONG.

If I can get the kart there will be def up for it. Any idea on track fee?

Should have a new car by then so touch wood will be there for some free of charge karting.

[madkarter3431]

Took mine round there once - got absolutely swarmed on by the locals
be prepared to answer A LOT of questions

I'll be there

[AixroKid]

Been there a few times only drove in to pits at the end of the day once, the track usually breaks the kart... Had:

Wheel fall off
Carb fall off
Track Rods snap

Justin's had:

Wheel fall off
Axle snap

Place likes to hurt karts, I'm glad were only there 2 hours, touch wood, kiss rabbit feet and pray to god that nothing goes wrong this time.

Otherwise the locals are great and Mechanics are heroes, can fix pretty much ANYTHING! One has over 40 years of experience in top level, (Super 1, etc...) karting, done things to fix karts I never thought possible!

Last time i was there I got overtaken by a thunderkarts wheel

Give Richard at AiM a ring - he's sorting it all out
or PM Mike (xratedkarting)

Aixro's are on from 4 - 6

I've chucked mine round there - but only can somewhere like PFI can give you a better idea as to how good a unit the Aixro truly is

[AixroKid]

Richard text me saying Aixros get on for free.

[kai]

Glenn, I’ve sent you a PM following on from what madkarter3431 rightly says about giving Richard a ring.
I mention that here only because I’ve found the PM system to be quite slow at times, though my message appears to have gone within a few hours – not days as on past occasions – this time.

[madkarter3431]

Hey kai - how's it going - long time no see

Yes - Richard is best to speak to. He rang me up yesterday and has a growing list of people wanting to go out already

I've been told to pack my kit

[kai]

Hi Martyn: fine, thanks, and indeed long time no see.

And yes, I’ve had the same instruction.

Unfortunately, I will have to disobey as I cannot really justify all the way to Stretton and back for a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon, much as I’d like the opportunity to you, Glenn and others. It wouldn’t really be an efficient way to spend an expensive weekend’s leave of absence.

Besides, I will be at Kartmania – don’t know yet which day (can let you know) – so maybe that might be an opportunity for a chat.

PS: Glenn, I trust you have prepared yourself thoroughly for what having driven one is going to do to your head afterwards? I dare say you are far too young to already enjoy such pleasures. Personnally I wouldn't allow it for just that reason.
