Fun on the track

[HK1837]

There is a couple of those sort of tracks here too with slower 4 stroke karts. This is a proper kart race track with racing karts. Very different experience to what I have done before on 4 stroke karts. These things are damn hard to drive, but I was really getting the hang of apexing corners and driving smoothly rather than sliding. Great fun!

No that is a little kiddies play track! This one is just off the F3. Take the Cardiff exit (first one to Newcastle not the Wallsend exit), turn right towards Newcastle. Go about 750m and you can see the track on your left. Turn left at the roundabout and straight left into the track. Booking is done via the below link (Broadmeadow track):

If you go through to the Cameron Park track you can see more about it. On the picture the corner I struggled with the most was the big sweeper at the end of the main straight in the top right of the picture. Double apex left hander straight after a right hander. You drive anti-clockwise.

Many moons ago when I was an apprentice and would go to Adelaide for trade school, I would catch up with half a dozen chef mates and do the same thing. Crappy lawn mower engines though but still plenty of fun. Someone would always end up with a large bruise usually the from going into the first corner 5 abreast Your right about your arms being stuffed, not something you notice going around but as soon as you stop dammmn
