We went Karting at Super Karts in Letchworth on the night of 12th February 2002. We had 35 Scouts that raced in teams of 6 in 15min races. Below you can view some photos of the evening as well as some short reports that some of the Scouts wrote.

We had a quiz at karting to occupy some of the time. View the quiz, answers and the 10 highest scores.

All of the Scouts started off with a safety briefing.

A view of the 550 metre track with it's two hairpins and the ‘s’ bend.

Under starters orders. The karts are run on Zip and Biz chassis and are powered by Honda GX160 and GX120 engines and can reach speeds of up to 55mph.

Below are reports written by some of the Scouts on the Night.

We are going to Superkarts in Letchworth. The karting was really fun and when you go round the corners it feels like your gonna topple over! You can go really fast. Karting is AWESOME! It sometime is painful when you go round the corners at high speed because you smash into the barriers!
