So then, on saturday myself, Lee Mitchel, Halfpint and serial lurker and jk hat lookaline Tommy entered the VXR regional Karting with the help of VXRdougie who a few of you will know at Buckmore Park
it went like this
Briefing
We qualified in first with a 51.6 lap from Tommy in a 30min session
me and the team waiting for me to go out first
Halfpint leads the field (kart 50)
who would think 168 laps later these 2 karts would end on the same lap
Banter tommy, jr and Lee whilst halfpint fights his way back from 4th in his 40min stint
Lee insisted on wearing this slimming waistcoat, halfpint in handing over the kart in 2nd to me after beeing in time attack mode to grab some places back
me
legend that is vxr dougie on the right
No idea where the photographer went when lee was out but he kept us in 1st with a constant 12 second gap to number 12, and then handed over to Tommy
Tommy Lapping edging closer to the win
Winning team well done lads
so this means we are in the national final at the vxr power festival on the 29th june if you fancy supporting us, against the other 7 quickest teams in the uk

I can imagine. I'm exhausted after doing a 30min session for fun, never mind being competitive!

Yeah I hate that when doing team enduro ... You want a shot at the kart when the tyres are good and it's low on fuel to get the best lap of the day, but it rarely works out that way.
Shame Half Pint didn't get the drive - he's a bloody good karter.
