Stretton Circuit (Leicester). 2019
DIR By: Graham Hill
Date: January 13, 2019, 8:12 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I called in to have a chat with Nick Lowe at Stretton Circuit
last week.
Following our inaugural meeting in September 2018 Nick is still
very keen to assist in helping our CKGB group grow. He shows a
real enthusiasm for the CycleKart hobby and would like to think
that the Stretton Circuit can engage further with our group
during it's period of growth.
In this respect Nick is keen to see us make a return visit (or
visits) as soon as possible in 2019.
I now understand that our best opportunity for track time is on
the first Sunday of every month, which is 'Open Kart Practise
Day'. We would be allocated various CK-group time-slots on the
track throughout the day. Additionally we would have the use of
the adjacent shale oval to ourselves.
A cordoned area of the paddock could be allocated to us,
allowing us to promote the hobby in a cohesive manner to
all-comers.
The cost is £35 per kart for the day, which includes access to
all of the club facilities.
As I have posted previously, it is easy for me to promote this
circuit as I live just 4 miles away. However having a friendly
facility with a relaxed approach in the midlands has got to have
merit ?
I realise that the majority are part-way through their build,
but if I could have a show of hands as to who would be
interested, I will start to look at a date convenient to all.
Sunday 5th May ?

I agree, Nick seems very keen to help and assist, and if for no
other reason we should support his venue.
Also the Stretton circuit is very attractive, with plenty of
atmospheric photo opportunities, and an interesting track
layout.
Re 5th May...put me down I'll get there.

Yes, dependent on progress with the Morgan, and how Mam is,
she'll be 96 by then so her health is a bit unpredictable.

I'm just starting my build now, and definitely won't be ready by
May 5, but I'll be there in person. Chris......

I will be there too. What time do we get there and can we do
some Gokarting too!?
I have finished making all four wooden wheels now, they are not
painted yet but look good. I'll bring a front and rear one with
me. I would like your opinion on how long they will live on the
circuit. I might be building a static Cyclekart!
Could do with some guidance on tyres too.
I look forward to meeting everybody.
See you Sunday!

Hi Adrian. It's an open club practice day so I don't think the
hire karts will be available. But I will ask, it would be fun.
Graham.
