OEKC Round 2 – Whilton Mill
April 13th 2014
After the disappointment of the last race we were determined to kick-start the season again. We had a fresh engine which we ran-in during morning practice and the kart generally felt good.
Reece qualified and put us in position 1 for the start of the race. Pole position seems to be our regular place but we would rather finish in this position!
We had a good race start and slowly started to leave the field. We were accompanied by the Box and Specsavers teams. After 50mins we were in second position when our fresh engine decided to expire. We recovered the kart to the pits and changed the blown engine.
Once we were back out on track, we started to recover some positions but we were last and had a mountain to climb. After a two more hours of racing we were back in the top ten and aiming for a seventh place finish.
Then, would you believe it, eight minutes from the end, our spare engine blew!
We were classified 14th from 26 teams.
