Lydd Round 2 - 100uk
So me and dad set off on Thursday night to be ready to set some laps in on the Friday !
So it comes to Friday and we set up the awning and it begins to rain .
After this happened we decided to not waste getting the kit all wet and leave the testing till the Saturday.
Round rolls Saturday and we get straight into practice,
My original test motor seemed to be very disappointing and just wasn’t up on pace compared to the rest of the pack.
By the end of the 3rd session we were very confident that my race engine showed very positive things for the future.
However ….
One session later the engine seized…..
This resulted in me and dad covering way more mileage in the van than we thought. That night we drove down to dartford karting to collect another motor for race day!
Sunday arrives,
Heat 1:
P2 - P2
Had a really good time defending the spot off of Ewan Scott as we were incredibly equal on pace.
Heat 2:
P8 - P4
Managed to get a double overtake on the mound is this heat which pushed me up the grid to P6 and the other places were made up by mechanical failures during the race.
Heat 3:
P7 - DNF
I was called in 3 laps into the race due to my chain guard coming off which meant I was out of the race
Really not what we wanted for the final or championship points …..
The final ….
P8 - P4 - P3
I got a really good start in this final pushing me up to P6 by the first corner , I then made up another position by an overtake out of the mound.
Also in this race the steering column uprights snapped of the chassis so it looked I was waving all the time for the final
Both of the final positions were made up by a DNF and a DSQ
SO ITS A PODIUM!!!!
