My Kit Bag


My kit for karting doesn't just include a helmet and kart i have to be properly suited up at all times.   All must be approved to race standards.  

My undergarments help me stay dry, and either warm or cool depending on the outdoor climate.
In racing there is a risk of fire so I need to wear a fire proof suit, race boots to help prevent slips on oil or fuel.  The rib protector (specially designed for ladies) will protect me in the event of a crash. My gloves give me excellent grip onto my steering wheel. I wear a  helmet liner to keep my hair away and head cool. My helmet and neck protector all must be worn durning racing, I could flip and roll at 60mph.

Number 22

Today I registered to race at rye house my first race will be the first Sunday in june with testing on the Saturday. I have chosen to race with number 22!
I watched the races today to see what I was up against and it seems they are quick doing their laps in 44secs, so I'm going to practice to get my times near those. I have a coaching day lined up this month which I'm hoping to get some tips and shave some seconds off my laps. There are 7 boys racing in comer cadets so at least the track will not be packed number 42 Jordon Timberlake seems the best driver and has the quickest lap time so he's the one to beat!!!
