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.

Race Day

WOW !!!!!!! what a day, that was just amazing to watch.
Luke was totally on form from heat one where he had a excellent start , from 11th grid  position straight into 4th by first corner . Luke kept up with the main pack and drove excellent until the spark plug melted and his engine died on the last lap , which he had to coast over the finish line ending up in 9th out of the 23 cadets.
Heat two luke started 10th on the grid and work his way up to 7th place, ending up with Luke getting the fastest lap record of 0.52.21 out of the heat. FIRST LAP RECORD yahhhhhhh GO LUKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Heat three Luke was 3rd on the grid and had a fantastic start and was first out of the corner and raced well, he got pushed out wide and lost afew places but buddied up with samuel and came 4th , just amazing to watch. KEEP THIS UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With luke's good points , he was 6th on the grid for the final. Luke was doing well until he clipped his team mates kart and span himself of the track, but Luke got his head down and started to head back up the pack . Time ran out and he came in 12th with a big smile for the awsome race day he had. Team members congratulated luke on what he had achived in such a short time of driving and of course it just made us so proud.

WELL DONE LAD !!!!!! learn all you can before you race in australia's rookie class in adelaide
