Kingston Cup 2017

Time for the Kingston Cup! 2nd Karting weekend in a row! Only 3 races this time but the final was 18 laps.

During practice on Saturday I got a new best of 42:60.

Qualifying
Qualified 5th

Heat 1
Got stuck behind the same another driver from Geelong and crashed on the final lap leaving him not finishing and me disqualified.

Heat 2
Got stuck behind the same driver again and finished last.

Final
Still stuck trying to find a way past. Eventually had success on lap 16 and for a brief moment was happy. Unfortunately this didn't last long due to copping a whack from behind and ended in the kitty litter.

All in all I learned a few things this day. Combined with the fun I had socialising and making a few new friends I guess the day was good despite my on track failures.

Looking forward to the 3rd Karting weekend in a row - the OGKRC Class titles. Hoping to keep clear of any drama!
