BUSY DAY AT ALDERSHOT
Tough day at the office - But still we Smile π that boy is damn resilient.... No luck at all today but still came away full of Smiles.
Race 1 - whites heat 1
George had a sluggish start and then got caught up in a bunch of slow moving traffic. The race went on and the race started to get away from George. He finally got past the traffic overtaking two karts at the same time round the outside. However with only a lap to go there wasn't much time for a chase, but he still brought it home for what we think was an 8th place finish and in the points.
βͺοΈ So we had a pep talk after this race and discussed the importance of a quick start, we then got ready for heat 2 with confidence.
Race 2 - whites heat 2
This Time a much better start..... Until the first corner π€¦ George got caught up with a bunch of karts and ended up nearly hitting a perimeter tyre.... However, George managed to pull it together and get back into the race, unfortunately though, the incident on that first corner and buggered his steering and he could not drive straight at all... George however is such a trooper and was determined to finish the race. It was tough going all the way round but he brought it home for an 11th place!! Great result considering, and you simply can't keep this boy down, as he will just keep going and going ππ
βͺοΈPre Final Burger was cancelled, we needed to fix the kart and we did β
Race 3 - whites final
Well what can I say... This boy went out on a mission... The start was brilliant, one of his best ever starts and he was flying, absolutely flying... He was gaining on the leading Karts and it looked like an easy top 3 finish in the final.... And then it all went wrong π Another kart span into George's direction of travel and he spun out... He once again managed to get going, he lost quite a few places though and had to start once again chipping away and overtaking from scratch.... Raced so so well in this one and deserved so much more.... However he brought it home for 8th again we think but we shall wait to see the classified results.
All in all a day of dreadful bad luck but great racing in places, some quick laps, a couple of points and mainly... Huge resilience and pride!!
So so proud of George today, Came home with bruises, a sore leg and a banged up Kart... But mostly smiles βΊοΈβΊοΈ
