SKRC Round 4 - Easter Express
A good weekends racing Shenington Kart Racing Club - SKRC" saw a much needed turn around in form for myself and back in the big points in a chase for a podium in the championship.
Saturday testing showed that there was a turn in form and after some tweaks to the set up of the kart began posting some very good lap times proving that I could be back at the front on the Sunday.
Best Time of - 44.52
Sunday -
Warm up - A steady warm up to make sure all was working well and to check that the set up was good and ready for the heats.
Heat One - 3rd 🔻 4th
A very good heat one showed my pace was back, a solid start up to p2 on the first corner which I held for several laps until dropping into P3 where I stayed until the penultimate lap where I got overtaken into Stratford, I responded well but unfortunately as I went for the move into Wilkins, the Battenberg flag came out and we finished the race under the flag.
Heat Two - 11th 🔼 7th
A hectic start left me off track in cafe corner causing me to drop down the order, I fought back well and achieved a respectable 7th.
Heat Three - 11th ▶️ 11th
Not the best start on my part I miss judged the rolling start and struggled to come back to position however I battled through back to 10th and made a move for 9th however a move from the driver behind left me with no where to go other than off track and onto the grass dropping me down to P14, eventually recovering once again to P11.
Final
Starting P5, I made an okay start but got pushed down the order but recovered to P6 by lap 2 and went about going for P5, eventually making the overtake into Cafe corner and then set about P4, unfortunately I run out of laps for what could have been a P4 finish if only there was a couple more laps.
All in all I’m happy with my performance and it felt good to challenge back towards the front of the pack.
A big thanks too all my sponsors
