holey thread revival        

yes captain, Our Ryan had a cracking day,got 1st place ,  was 2 seconds a lap quicker than the other cadets in the final when it rained, was even quicker than our Dan in his tkm with 3 times the power       he drove his socks off and looked so relaxed doing it! he coasted the last 5 laps as i told him to back off    

must be my expertise at setting the kart up        

I had a mare as usual, will someone please remind why i bother racing      got taken out 5 times today, 3 times were in the 20 lap final, think I ended up 4th in Clubman , prob didnt do to bad in points but annoyingly If I could stop getting brayed off rack I could be at the sharp end  

now if we are talking about bad days ross"s was bad but I think Eddies was actually worse

What happened Eddie? he was having carb troubles? Ross was just slow wasn't he?  

..a few more pics:

Thank you for inspiring my confidence captain. The kart seams to have lost an awful lot of pace even last week @ Teesside i struggled against Eddy when he was on dunlops and i was on Kartlines. I have weighed myself and i am the same weight as i was at Xmas when nobody could catch me  

I do fancy a change though

What size file did you upload? Your video takes years to load, I havent even got past 30 seconds yet!

Looks good so far though!

Vid's working OK this morn.. I think our tinternet is just slow in the evenings.  

Rowrah looks like a proper little mini Cadwell, sounds like Ryan had a good day, apart from the final. Well done, and bad luck!

b****y good footage for an £8 camera too !!

and today I built a kartin trophy cabinet out of the slats off a bed i was throwing out      , but think I may need to build a bigger one

[JeffC]
