My Training Day with Luke Hines

I had a fantastic day being coached by Luke Hines Zip Kart Owner, Race Driver and owner of young guns karting team!!!!
It was the hottest day of the year and man did it feel hot in my suit and helmet.
We trained at rye house nailing corners and picking up my speed. It gave me so much confidence and was great to hear his advise and thoughts on how I was driving. He said he was very impressed so I'm going out this weekend to show him I can put into action all his tips and hopefully walk away with a trophy.

As I am a little heavier (as I'm tall) I need to get some weight down as that's losing me seconds I am going to start training and eating better (not so many snacks) And get a good night sleep before races as I was tired the last two.
Fastest lap time 44secs :))
Bring on the race weekend!!!!

I would like to Thanks DK for their support without there generosity I would not have been able to take this opportunity.

Camberley Race Track

Today I tried out a new track, Camberley. It was a easier track to master and I got good times for my first visit. It was great to race against other the other drivers today I was hungry for a win. I took first place a few times I just need to lay of the brake alittle to shave valuable seconds of my lap time and I'll be up there with the fastest times. Watch my video to see how a multi car spin out allows me a multi overtake :)) lol cheers guys!!

Top Novice

The nerves set in on the morning off my first race and to make it worse the track was wet!!!!!

So after a night sleeping in our van at the track, I woke up early ready for scrutineering at 8am.  Here they check over my kart, tyres, brakes, and engine number, my boots have to have grip, my suit & helmet must be FIA approved. My kart and I are weighed and must be 99 kilo's min. I am 110 with my kart.

Next we had a breakfast camp site!!! Bacon Rolls (Yummy)

At the drivers briefing they go through the rules, they are pretty strict and experienced drivers are told to look out for novices.....which puts me at ease.

I'm called for practice, 3 laps round the track was soaking but I made it round safely.

I'm at the back as I'm a novice (black plates) but its a good place to be to work on my lines and follow the more experienced drivers. There were 3 heats and I managed to take 9 seconds of my lap time.  My fastest lap of the day was 50.06seconds.  :)) Winning me "TOP NOVICE" I was pretty proud.

No crashes and no spin outs to report.

Spinning out in the Wet.

My first time out in the rain! Watch me spin out again and again (lol) I was nervous to start with by as the day went on my confidence grow and I got faster and faster and no spinning!!
