F6 Clay Pigeon Race

Well I didnt do horrible.
But I dont think I stayed on the track the entire time for any of the heats.
I started 16th, last in the first heat and finished 14th.
In the second heat I started on pole, but quickly got passed by the quicker racers and ended up just outside the top 10.
My starting position for the third heat was 8th.
I did not finish this heat as myself and another driver were binned on the first lap.
I managed to start 15th for the final.
After having a quick date with the tire wall, I was back on track and on a mission.
I was probably a good 5 seconds back from the kart infront of me.
The race was almost half over and I had to put my head down.
I caught the driver infront of me, passed him and drove away for a strong finish.
Clay Pigeon was a much better weekend than Llandow, but I still have lots of room for improvement.
I am just getting used to the kart and the rocks they call tires.
Hope to do well at the TKM Festival in early August.

Congrats to everyone at the WCC.

Cardiff Central.

Today we went on a tour around Cardiff, Wales.
It was a good time and the city is quite beautiful.
I took a lot of pictures and we also went to their grandparents bike shop.
Finally is was really hot out today, I loved it.
On Friday morning we are leaving for Clay Pigeon for testing.

My First Race.

Today was my first race.
During practice I got nudged and I smashed into the tire wall.
My nasa panel was destroyed, tire rod bent and spindel bent as well.
Sadly, we couldnt get the kart together to make the first heat but we managed to make the second heat.
As I am still getting used to the track, and these hard Maxxis tires; I spun twice.
I finished last, but ended up improving in the third heat.
I beat the two strokes and went 5 tenths faster.
We made a front end adjustment for the final which I didn't like.
I ended up 5th in TKM 4S.
We hope to just keep improving.

Im here, finally!

So, I am finally in Wales.
I arrived at the London Gatwick airport yesterday morning at 6.
As we were driving back to Cardiff, Wales we got a flat tire.
Once we were about 2 miles from their house, the cops pulled us over.
Eveything was fine and we drove home.
I slept about 13 hours and Im feeling alright!
It alreay rained, and its really cloudy.
I have to say, it is quite nic here.
My first race is on Sunday and I'll be testing on Saturday!
Hope everyone is having a good time back in Calgary.
