Class:Rotax light

opinions:If i could race everyday i would but then go broke.

I admire a driver in my class because of his raw speed and his ability to setup a kart.His speed is so impressive that it almost rivals the times ICC karts do.Very impressive.

I am not sure what it was like there back in 92 but i think since then they have added 2 corners around where the club house is, and yes it is good track that produces some exciting races.

Re: A little about you..

Class: Junior Rotax Max
Chassis: 2001 Gillard, it's an old nail but it keeps going
Championship: BDKC and HKRC
Opinions: Great fun, obviously! Driving standars are a little dodgy at times compared to other formulas

When i started out in karting there were two people in my championship who i really had a great deal of respect for. One, Matt Skilton just for his sheer pace and determination, un-believably quick and left the field standing at times. The second, more for race craft than anything Reece Broady, sitting behind him on the track or watching him as a spectator you could see wherever he started on the grid he gave it a full 110% effort and pulled off some very hard moves which is what i noticed. Not at all afraid to get a bit of contact in though was always a fair racer.

Rotax Max/ 100 National

selected rounds of Llandow club champs IE: I'm broke and race when I can

Love the rush

I admire a few different drivers. One that sticks in my mind is Jason Bird who I raced against at Shenny last year. Nice guy off track. Hard racer on.

Thanks David but if you look at the standings if you win a weekend you get about 140 points unfortunately the gap is to big infact the gap is so big my 3rd looks good for me and there is only 40 points.Plus it's the best of 7 rounds out of 8 so the postions should stand.

I'm on the verge of being in the Junior Heavys next year.
It's such a handy cap racing in the Lights there are 2 german drivers who are half the size of me and they are only competitive because of there weight.
I can't wait to move up because I have to go flat out all the time even esses type of corners beacuse when someone passes me it's userly on the straight.

Experience dosn't mean anything......
And talent.

BDKC, some TVKC and Kartmasters

Looking really at running up near the front, where we were in Juniors and hopefully take a few wins and be somewhere in the top 6 at the end of the year, could go either way though as my first race isn't until the 28th of Feb so am only going by last years pace +8hp and testing times

crozier74 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Class - Formula TKM - Possibly 2 or 3 selected meetings in gearbox. Formula Junior TKM last year.

Chassis - JKH Dynamite (2003) - Supposedly not so brilliant in seniors, seemed OK the first two races at the tail end of last year, but we'll see. Might rejig my ol' faithful Wright Braga or buy a Venom if push comes to shove.

Championship - West of Scotland KC, Super 1 (selected rounds), Scottish Super Series, other selected events (full calender to be published on website when it goes online) - Similar to last year, but with more realistic approach to S1. Not going for full season and running out of money halfway through like last time, but ignoring championship and doing our best at individual rounds (Warden Law, Larkhall, Whilton Mill).

Opinions - Noticed a lot nicer/friendlier atmosphere off-track since the step up to seniors, but still with that great ruthless cutthroat nature on track Finally got my car race licence, which is quite a liberating feeling! Doubt I'll do any car racing though, but maybe some small meetings like local autotests and hillclimbs, just to make my way in via the quiet back door...

Unfortunately for me racing is too expensive.
I have a Rotax max senior in an Mba chassis and I practice as many times as I can during a month.Not more than 2 or 3.
I love driving for "hours".I only want to get out just for refilling and then back again.Here in Athens (Greece) we have one really good race track.The rest are small,but I do not mind ..............if there is for karting everything will do
