We set off early.......way too early infact so we had a full english while we waited
Lovely Track


The format was that you had 3 practice slides.....I mean laps :-D Then you had 4 heats of 6 laps and the fastest 12 of the day went into the 10 lap final. There were 8 karts in each heat and the drivers were mixed up each heat so you got to race everybody.
The qualifiers were a great event and the banter flowed as it does....Heat 8 was our finest hour, only 2 drivers got 57 sec laptimes and that was the 2 Norfolk boys even pushed Ron into 6th


If any of you would like to guess who got the first black flag of the day I'll give you 10p..........yep it was Trev. He had to come into the pits for a bollocking for his "aggressive driving and use of kerbs"...LOL..in all fairness it was almost impossible to avoid people because there was no grip. Shortly after, on his last heat, his day ended in truly spectacular fashion :rotflol: He was black flagged again and I could see that it was not wanted he wanted to see


I somehow made it into the final thanks to my adopted tactic of the day.........go wide and turn in front of everyone cutting their noses off and then bouncing off the outside man back into the middle of the track :thumb: Below is the tactic in full effect, I'm in the blue suit knocking Ron (red helmet) and one of the skyline lads into the bumpy stuff :bandit:

Same tactic but going very wrong

Check the wet track


I finished 6th out of 12 in the final so was happy with that, the final was won by the birthday boy himself with Darren Bly coming 2nd and Darren Hawkins 3rd. Even though Ron is older than coal he sure can pedal :notworthy: Darren kept him honest and the 2 of them in this years Time Attack, flying the RK Tuning flag, should make for some great racing :twisted:

Also while we were there a group of 'special' people were also there on day release....they behaved quite well, a couple started getting abit lively but they were quickly put in jackets and put back on the Dolphin bus :-D
