Round 4 100uk whilton mill -
As there wasn’t any practice on Friday we had a lot of to get on with on the Saturday.
I spent the first 2 and a half sessions running in my race engine that blew up at lydd.
On to Sunday…
The day really went the opposite of how we wanted it to…
Heat 1.
P11 - P9
This was when we began to struggle. As the race went on we found that I was way off pace from the rest of the pack which was an unusual thing to happen as I am usually a front runner
Heat 2:
P7 - P8
I began to lose places in this race due to not having the pace, so we really knew there was a problem with something on the kart.
I did however have some good battles with others on the grid
Heat 3:
P4 - P8
Another disappointing result but we kept a positive mind for the final.
Before the final we tried everything we could to get the kart running properly but just couldn’t find any result of improvement.
We tried different carbs (4 of them) , different carb settings , swapping out the fuel to see if it ran better.
The list goes on….
The Final:
P8 - P9
I tried adjusting the carb setting during the race which improved my pace ever so slightly but it just wasn’t enough.
We’re hoping that next round is a better one but before that we’re back out in the AK .
