Karting Kaos

On Saturday night I was down in Newry at the Formula Karting Centre for a stag do Grand Prix. A great evening and plenty of craic, although it's a good job I wasn't out to win it - out of the ten guys, I ended up in 8th place. A bit of a nightmare in my qualifying heats - crashed twice and so finished last in each of those races! The eventual podium places went to Liam in 1st, Graeme in 2nd and the groom-to-be Jonathan in 3rd.



It's amazing how quickly you can get used to the karting way of driving, hard on the pedal, taking close corners and following the racing line. Not so good when you're back in the car though on public roads and wanting to try the same sort of tactics!
