We drew kart No. 1 but in qualifying we soon realised it was 3 second a lap slower than the fastest kart....
ReplyDeleteWe started 10th on the grid and in the 1st hour or so, made to 6th......only to loose a wheel and then the rain made our spare kart engine cut out all too easily.
Well, we had fun and the last stint....by me was good - overtook maybe 6 karts in all!
Next year maybe!
