I have a Stratos Storm Pro-Kart, I raced it at Crail, Larkhall and Raceland nr Edinburgh. I bought it when I was 16, brand new from the local supplier. I have always been tall and heavy so I was always at the back of the grid on race days.
During my 1st driving lesson on my 17th birthday, i took the "racing line" round a roundabout, this filtered back to my Dad and he said I wasn't allowed to race or test my kart until I had passed my test. When I was 19, I took my ARDS test and became a racing driver, since then I have felt I should get my kart running again and take it out to a few tests just on the off season.
I do get the engines running now and again and I keep them turning over fairly regularly.
I hate hiring karts because I am too heavy for the single engined ones and no-one will let me use the twin-engined 1s without spending stupid amounts of money to "graduate" up to them!
