Wheather ; strong winds and sunny
Practice Day.
We hired a engine to see if it would make a big differance to Luke's lap times that we had been reaching in past races . After a few practices and little things going wrong, Luke was not happy with the preformance and we decided to put Luke's normal engine back on and after the next session we were back on track with low 42's and ready for race day. We practiced the standing start at the end of the day which Luke was fine with as he did it with his indoor racing.
Race Day.
Not a good start wrong spocket on and Luke was not happy as he started 7th on the grid and had a amazing start into 2nd and dropped down to 7th.
Set up changed for the next heat, Luke 2nd on the grid and got away in first place, by the second lap we new by Luke's speed and loosing places something was wrong. Luke's engine cut out on lap 8 and we had found out it was the spark plug that had burnt out but the engine was fine thankfully.
Heat three, yes we were back on the pace. Luke had a good battle with Callum and came in happy in 6th place.
All down to the final. Luke was 8th on the grid due to his poor heats ,but he ended up having one of his best races battling with Ben and Callum for their final places, which Luke came in 5th place which has been his best position so far in a final.
CONGRATULATIONS LUKE leaving hooton race club on a high.
