Yep they are a little expensive but they will last because if they are as popular as I know they will be then they will do 5 sessions a day which will being used 900 times a season ....at £50 a time = a good return!! which is reflected by other activities we do...
I wanted help with inspiration on track ...cool ideas or thing peeps have seen

Not exactly a lot of info to base suggestions upon. What have you got to work with?

[Shalershasker]

As Mattf said, what have you got in the way of space and is it tarmac, dirt ect, need some details . If it's tarmac then it's probably a case of a few light humps and bumps, cones and padding around to make a track but if its dirt the the worlds your oyster so to speak.

Fair point....

Budget £1,000
Ground will be soil where the building inside the box is being removed
I have use of a digger, I have free tyre supply
I just want ideas that maybe folks have seen on their travels that would make it even cooler for the kids...apart from adding engines to the go carts!!

i think you can make a hell of a decent circuit there Mark.Put in a couple of chicanes(spelling) and a hairpin bend at one end,I would have a decent straight length of track and perhaps one end put the Hairpin bend or you may have the room to put a double hairpin at the one end and then make the rest of the circuit up as bends and short straight sections.I'll draw a rough diagram of what i mean so you can see better as my description dont read like i mean it to
