Golden Power Series Round 5 report.
I am a bit late with this report but anyway haha 😄
It was a successful weekend at the Albury Wodonga Kart Club for the GPS, even if the end result was slightly disappointing.
Qualifying was super close with a gap of only 0.07 between pole and myself in 6th. I didn't manage track position properly in and caught traffic on every lap.
The heats were interesting with white line racing and elbows out from the kids in the class but I was able to come away with a 6th and two 2nds.
The final I had a gut feeling something was going to happen between P1 and P2 on the grid. My gut was right and they tried driving on the same bit of track going into turn one off the start. They spun across the front on my kart lucky only bumping the nose cone but I fell to last. I was able to drive from 7 seconds behind and last to only 2 seconds back, have the fastest lap and cross the line 2nd. Unfortunately the contact at the start gave me a drop down relegating me to 4th.
Good progress on the kart over the weekend so very happy.
