All prep and no go....

Well, here I go with my first posting...

I've been racing karts for about the last six or seven years, won a few hire-kart championships and have loads of silver-ware. I bought my own prokart, a 2000 Solo from a lad called Tom who then raced with me for a couple of years before going on to bigger and better things.

Here's my kart with my current co-driver, Andrew at the wheel.

We've had a 'steady' season, competing in the Bayford Meadows Prokart Endurance Championship and some selected rounds of the National Prokart Championship.

Last round, during a six hour race, we had an engine seizure about four hours into the race. After changing the offending engine we finished 12th.

I'm racing on Sunday at Bayford (3hrs) with two engines I've bought from one of the 'top' teams, but Andrew is not available. As a result my youngest son Robert (19) will be racing with me - should be good experience for him.....

I'll let you know how it goes.
