This weekend we raced at Numurkah for the 2019 Australasian Kart Titles. We pitted with Sam Gibson (#72 KA3 Junior). We did a few practice sessions and were confident for qualifying.
Qualifying:
I qualified P3, but lost a tenth to my best practice time. That time would still of qualified me 3rd though, so it wasn't too bad.
Heat 1:
I got a nice start and moved into second for the first 2 laps, but then my friend Josh Hocking (#2 KA4 Heavy) passed me, and then dropped a chain in front of me, which caused 3 people to fly past me on the straight. Finished P5.
Heat 2:
I started P3 again for Heat 2, and once again got a nice start into P2. But over the course of the race, I had no pace and eventually dropped back down to P7.
Heat 3:
I started P5 for Heat 3. I finally got some pace back from practice, but everyone also got faster. I stayed P5 for most of the race, but then I was passed by Josh, and then gained P5 back when someone got ran off the track.
Final:
I started P5 for the final, and I got to P4 on the start. I stayed P4 for most of the race, but then someone in front was ran off, and I was now in chase for P3. Put coming around turn 3, my motor seized. Weekend over on the second last lap.
Overall it was a fun weekend, going to a new track and doing as well as I did.
Horsham Next Weekend!
