For a National series this was a bit of a disaster. I felt sorry for the organiser, Martin, who puts in so much time and effort and the money it costs to stage an event like this.
Only 9 teams turned up and then three decided it wasn't worth the bother and, after some travelling considerable distances, packed up and went.
The remaining 6 teams decided to make a race of it and to help cut Martin's losses.
The kart wasn't handling well, but this was probably due to being on worn tyres. It seemed pointless wasting a new set on this race, as it was really going to be just a bit of fun.
During the race we lost about 16 laps with technical problems, but other teams lost more during the 6 hours and we finished 3rd, 1st in Clubman class and just 11 laps behind the winners.
The championship has now been cancelled for this year, but it is hoped that a new and envigorated series will take place next year, together with sponsorship and prizes.
