will finally be getting round to sorting the fiesta out altho its come at a price
van is sorted now so no money being spent on that and im out of the karting after this weekend.
I was racing at the Maxxis TKM Festival at Kimbolton. Was blown away by what an amazing event it was. In qualifying i was half a second off pole position but started 12 so its a bit close
the 1st heat was a bit hectic after a collision that put me back but i got good results in the 2nd and 3rd heats and was getting quicker and quicker in each session and got an 11th place grid slot for the final (and was only a few points of a slot inside the top 6)
good race in the prefinal meant i was 8th on the grid for the final. first start was aborted so we were sent round again. 2nd start was go so we all hurtled into the notorious first corner which has seen hundreds of accidents over the years. got through the corner ok and heading into the fast chicane i was pushed wide so tried to recover and was hit again HARD and pushed into the tyre wall at speed and spun around and was somehow not collected by anyone else. tried to rejoin but the steering column had been bent so much the steering had locked and later realised chassis had been snapped.
I'll be back on a new kart next year tho
the other manxies did well and dave sutcliffe was using one of toxics go-pros so footage will be on youtube shortly and ill let you know when the event will be shown on motors tv.
so anyway im out of the karting until next year now so car will finally be getting sorted
and im not having them fitted until ive got bump strips back on the drivers door and powerflex bushes to keep everything nice and tight.
