[#15 tkm 4/]

Ellough park, some time last season (karts)
Leading the race after the first lap, took a defensive line through the tight chicane (last corner) got a bit close to the rubbing strip on the inside of the corner, and smashed my rear right rim, (on one of those bolts which joins the tyres to the rubbing strip)i heard a noice but i fought it was someone else behind me, so i carried on down to the first corner after the straight (thought it was pulling a bit, but wernt that bad so i carried on), just getting into the breaking point, and all of a suddern my rear had overtaken, and i was goin top speed backwards into the tyre wall, hit the wall ratha hard but i neva hurt my neck which was extremly lucky. after a bit of cursing, i got out and helped the marshal, carry my kart over the fence, Ratha funny watching an unsuspected marshal lift the heavy end of the kart with 20kgs of lead on it. And then thinking it was all over, i stod on the woodern floor, covering a drain hole and my foot disappeard down it!!
