Anyway the race started at 10am. C.B.Posties DJ got off to a fast start and he is currently holding his first place starting position. Rookies are still in 2nd place. At the minute it is hard to keep track of the positions as they keep changing all the time! On lap 2, Kolumbian Karthel got up to 3rd place. Whacky Racers Wayne has dropped down to 4th place but he is right behind 3rd place. They are now on lap 4 and Daniel has just now moved his way up in to 3rd place. He went flying past Kolumbian Karthel and Whacky Racers like they were standing still. Little Chris isn't doing very well at the moment! He seems to be finding it hard to keep it on the track. 5 minutes have now passed. C.B.Posties have a 3.88 second lead. Daniel is now up one more place in to 2nd. Rookies have dropped down to 3rd. 1 minute later and Kolumbian Karthel have just done an early driver change. At the same time, Batty + Shanks have changed karts because the back end was a bit loose. On lap 10, Dan got the fastest lap of 45.76. He is going 8 tenths quicker than anyone else. On lap 11, Dan takes the lead from C.B.Posties. He is 0.56 of a second ahead. 15 minutes have gone by. Kolumbian Karthel have taken over 2nd place after steadily closing in on them. T.O.K.A are threatening 6th place. One false move and T.O.K.A could pinch their place. 1 minute later and T.O.K.A are now in 6th place after doing a nice nifty overtaking manoeuvre. Now 18 minutes and 43 seconds have passed. Rapscallions have e got up to 3rd place. 23 minute mark and more driver changes have taken place. Dan is back out there trying to build his lead back up. Rapscallions are now closing in on 2nd place. This could be exciting! Now half an hour has gone. There is half an hour left. Daniel + Micheal are still leading. Rapscallions are up to 2nd place, 32.41 seconds. Kolumbian Karthel are in 3rd, 2.72 seconds. In 4th are C.B.Posties, 9.32 seconds behind. 5th place is Rookies, 15.06 seconds behind. In 6th is Whacky Racers, 13.69 seconds behind. 7th place is team Little Chris + Co, 14.74 seconds behind. 8th place is T.O.K.A, 1.62 seconds behind. And finally bringing up the rear is Batty + Shanks in 9th place, 16.34 seconds behind. 6 minutes later and Big Dave from T.O.K.A has just come off the track shouting and cursing because Little Chris has been whacking in to the back of him pull felt, basically using Dave as his brake! This sort of thing isn't on and I can understand why he is angry. Lets hope Chris does the decent thing and apologises, not that it puts things right again though! Anyway the race will soon be drawing to a close. We have 15 minutes to go. At the minute none of the teams are close together and battling. They are all fairly well spaced out. 2 minutes to go. It is so exciting because 1st and 2nd places are right close together. There is only 0.05 of a second between them. Anyway on the penultimate lap, Nick tried to get by Micheal on the inside but Micheal held his line and Nick spun it going round the top corner. So Micheal took the chequered flag with a 0.65 of a second lead over 2nd place. Results 1. Daniel + Micheal 2. Rapscallions 3. Kolumbian Karthel 4. C.B.Posties 5. Rookies 6. Whacky Racers 7. T.O.K.A 8. Little Chris + Co 9. Batty + Shanks |
