🏁World Final Weekend write up 🏁
So we made our way down to the track Friday afternoon for a bit of a chill out ready for a fast paced weekend and it didn’t disappoint.😆
World final.
Ruby had a fantastic race from where she started in a hectic race and her first proper world final race to finish 10th and on the lead lap was a proper achievement 💪🏻💪🏻
Mike was going great but unfortunately fan belt snapped and engine overheated, so retired to the infield. 😩
Heat 2.
Ruby was fast. Made great pace through the pack and finished in a fantastic 2nd place.
Mike had a flat tyre but still finished the race towards the back of the pack.
Final
What a race, what a podium! 😆😆
Ruby finished in second behind Gracie Squire closely followed by Mike in what would be their first final podium together. Emotional scenes followed 😭
Grand national
Mike decided he was done and opened his first can of the night. 🤦🏼♂️
Ruby unfortunately suffered a DNF with a front right flat tyre. 😔
Many alcoholic beverages were consumed after the meeting in the bar celebrating Thomas Brighton winning the gold for the third time, well done Pal!! 🏁🏆
On to Sunday!!
Heat 1
Ruby had another great result with a 3rd and dad coming in with a 7th 😁
Heat 2
Ruby got punted out wide early on and struggled to get back into the pack but came home in 10th. Mike had a DNF as the power lead to the coil failed.
Final
Ruby had a good run early on but retired due to a steering issue. Mike sat in 14th on the re start and carved his way through the pack to finish 4th, gutted he was off to finish on the podium again.🥲
Grand National
Ruby was going great managed to get into 4th and the clutch exploded 😞 Mike had actually loaded up, but then decided last minute he wanted to try something to benefit Ruby’s racing with a big stagger change to see how it would effect car handling and it seemed to work ok but he’s still not convinced and came home in 6th.
🚨One thing we have strived for all season as most drivers do is fastest lap times, yes we do look at them from time to time to see where we are but wow, Sunday in the feature final Ruby set the fastest lap of the whole race. That’s some achievement kid, We are making moves💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🚨
All in all a fabulous weekend for both drivers.
Not forgetting it was our teams 3rd driver Casey’s 21st birthday this weekend, she will be out next Sunday racing at Buxton raceway in the stoxkart with dad (Mike) in the hire Kart 🙈 let’s see how that goes!!
