Dunkerswell 18th April 2015

 

So an early start at 0545, No one wants to get up that eary but needs must.

So we get to the track for 0845 and its dry and a bit windy. Unpack the van is the first job and then get the kart all fueled up. Now time to book in and get ready for the first session.

So all went well in the first 4 sessions until the tires started to go off. Now thats one set of tires gone now at 273 laps for one set not bad me thinks. Morgan had  to then miss Session 5 due to my tire changing skills are not quite up to RED BULLS 2.5 second time more like 45 mins and a few choice words.  So the 6th session starts and all going well and with newer tires on lap times are getting better. At the start of the day i asked Morgan if he could get me a 52 second lap. bet time up to the end of the 7th session was a 53.42 But then call in by Ian Batstone for his ARKS Writen paper. 1/2hrs later and all passed. and still time for one more run before home.

Sesion 8 and final one. All starts well untll the 3rd corner and on cold tires round we go twice on the same corner. but he gets it all together and off down the track. Ok getting faster and then on lap 8 it happens 52.780s  and one happy by and even happer dad. so till the next test in May lets seeif he can get me a 51 second lap. got to keep pushing.

So Again up at the crack of dawn for another test day. New steering arms fitted and everything is all lined up true again ready to hit the track. Only 3 of us today but think well will manage ok. Session 1 starts and i can see that Morgan's kart is loose at the rear. Drifting the rear like Drift king, looks all very good but not fast at all. times are well down. Think i need to change a few things. so for session 2.  Front tires up in pressure and rears down lets see how thing go.

Much better times getting faster and back in the right direction. Good pace and not getting passed by many at all. well one or two. That said we are still only on our forth test session. Ok moving on a few sessions,  5 was a really good one for Morgan lots of people and pressure. but a cool head in traffic and a clam approach to it all and for me i am in my element . one proud dad and dare i say it may be Morgan's big brother Elliot seemed impressed as well. Well the 6 session comes and goes and my god the fastest lap yet 52.390.

a really good days test. good weather and good people,

Happy days
