New engine

Due to adopting SKUSA rules at our kart club, I bought a new engine (2010 Swedetech CR125) in order to compete in the S4 class. I will keep my Vortex engine for SuperNats later this year.

Honeymoon November 2009

First race at PKRA

Sunday October 25 I had my first kart race ever. It was more difficult than i expected as first adrenalin and later tiredness made my driving a bit more sloppy than usual. Nevertheless I ended first in my class (shifter-heavy) in the heat and main race, although that sounds better than it was since there were only two competitors in my class. I was not quick enough (yet) to keep up with the shifter-light racers, who weigh 35 lbs less than my class. Nevertheless it was a great first experience and I will enter my next race ob November 8.

Wednesday evening rain-out

I went to practice at PKRA last night but after three sessions we needed to stop due to the rain and thunderstorms. The track was more dusty/slippery than usual but I was able to work on my consistency and stamina. Today the engine will be taken apart for the first top-end rebuild.

Kids morning routine

Just a standard morning routine: feeding Scarlett and Phoenix while Penelope is watching all the action from the chair

Fridaynight practice at PKRA

I had another good practice session at PKRA last evening and tried the gold front bar, which was a big improvement in cornering feel. I am still improving my times and I am having fun!

James at PKRA

James from TKW tried my kart out for a few laps. Cool to see & hear my kart running along the track.
