Hooton - round 1
Round 1 - RRHKS Hooton
So we decided that a kind weekend of testing was definitely needed as it was my first weekend with retro in the gearbox!
We set off on Thursday morning ready to put some decent laps in for the coming weekend. It was bright sunshine all day and I had grown a huge amount of confidence in the kart.
On the Friday it was slightly miserable weather but it still meant that I could smash the laps in and get used to the circuit.
Then Saturday arrives, in the first morning session I went out with no problems at all and put in a pb lap time. In the second session I had a brake failure which I have already made a post about (I’m okay ) I managed to get back out for the last few sessions.
On the Sunday it was rainy so it would be the first ever time I went out in the AK in the rain
Heat 1:
P17 - P9
I really positive start to the day!
Heat 2:
P16 - P9
My confidence really began to show in this heat as I was now making moves much quicker than before!
Heat 3:
P16 - P8
Another amazing amount of progress!
The final:
I had qualified P5 for the final but as I didn’t have enough confidence I decided to again go from the back…
P17 - P10
Another great result and a perfect way to finish off the weekend!
I also received the trophy for senior driver of the day !
