CKC ROUND 8
Moving up to seniors for the last round of the @camberlykartclub championship for the start of winter testing for the year, we were looking forward to a good learning curve and trying lots of new things. This was going to be a steep learning curve for us Having never driven a senior engine with its different power characteristic’s and the difference in weight.
Heat 1: After bolting on 15kg we started heat 1 just to get a nosecone penalty on the rolling lap due to some very sudden braking infront of me. With my head held high I kept a positive attitude and going up 7 positions in 1 lap I finished the first lap in second and the race in net p1 after taking the fastest lap😎. Finally finishing p4 after nosecone drop of 5 seconds.
Heat 2: Starting from pole position this time so This heat was due to be all about getting my head down and putting in the lap times. I was able to keep my cool and finish where i’d started in p1.
Heat 3: Starting in p5 for the last heat of the day, I managed to get an amazing start and again finish the first lap in p1 even with abit of moisture coming in from a light dusting of rain.
Luckily for all drivers the rain stayed away for this heat and we kept P1.
Final: Due to my great solid heat results I was starting on pole position for my final race of the day. I managed to control the start well and manage my pace until the end of the race which lead me to my second lights to flag victory of the day.
Overall it was an amazing day at the office winning every thing on track but just abit unlucky with nose cone stopping us from a full house, but a fantastic day and far better than we could have expected from our first ever drove in senior.
I want to say a huge thanks @robinson_sport_official for the amazing, race winning motors, I really couldn’t have done it without you, @camberlykartclub for the awesomely run day and my dad for adapting so quickly to this new engine, and subtle changes to make the day go smo
End of an era from junior to senior. Wait for race report tomorrow for great news from our first race in senior. #robinsonraceengines #camberlykartclub #ob1
🟠🔵 CKC TEST DAY 🔵🟠
~
Saturday saw us back on the OTK for a test day down at Camberley Kart Club, after trialling the Sodi kart with the epic floating disk last weekend.
Ensuring we can still drive and keep up the good pace, it became apparent that, our usual good reliability record was under threat, as our practice engine starter motor was giving us problems, needing a wallop with a hammer to start it once, then giving up the ghost for the next session. It had defiantly fought it’s last fight, so a kind man behind us lent us his spare, allowing us to get back out on the track.
After liberating it from the engine casing, we discovered a lot of swarf metal and magnet on the bottom of the engine case, which, after a good clean out, was replaced with the borrowed starter motor. Our suspicions were correct. 100% success this time, with no problems, she fired straight up.
On the plus side the weather held off, and we stayed on slicks all day. Gunner, our trusty canine mascot, was on his own day out with a friend, meaning Dad could help with putting the kart on the grid and we did not have to ask for help taking it off the trolley.
I'm sure he brings the dog so he doesn’t have to lift the kart!
The track was quick this week, resulting in a good pace all day, the chase for the lap record is on.
Bring on for round 4. 💪💪 Let the racing commence.
