Hooton Circuit

To enable Luke to pass his A.R.K.S test and begin racing outdoors, Luke had to begin practicing his driving. We chose Hooton Circuit to practice and became a member of the Cheshire Kart club.Whilst on the circuit Luke began nailing the corners and in turn starting to pick up speed gaining a 43.24, not bad for his second time out.

11.00am: One hour classroom study
12.30pm: Written Test
Driving Test
Luke sailed through his A.R.K.S. Test with a 100 %
Luke has to do six races as a novice which on his kart will show a black plate with white numbers, then after he has all six meetings signed by the clark of the course he can send his licence off for a full one and go to a yellow plate with black numbers on his kart. We were very lucky that Scott walker was able to take our kart to hooton so Luke was able to use his own kart for the test.
Practice Day
Hooton Race Circuit
9/07/11
Luke went to this practice day with the SAS team to experience racing with a large number of cadets. Luke did very good keeping in the middle of the pack and achieved his fastest lap at 43.18 a second behind the leader. Luke met and made friends with more cadets and loved the experience. To Lukes disapointment he didn't finish the day due to very poor judgement of another driver who came out of the pit lane in front of him, which ended in Luke taking a flying lesson over the other cadet. Luke was on a spinal board an taken to A&E Chester hospital as he was not responding well, but after a few hours was back to his chatty self with a few bumps and bruises. lucky boy.
