No Precipitation.....

Was the hope for PFI, and so it was.....After spending sat night with Speedy at PPIK, using new karts that already appear old, the cap was off to Lincolnshire, pre-dawn, to sample Pfi for the first time in `08. What I like to think are the hardier of the regulars turned up, with some new faces, just to add to the mix. After months of racing in the wet, it was a learning curve to get the best out of the karts, fastest lap on the short circuit, 52.02, not amazing by the standards of the front runners, tho`it was a pleasure to be going quickly again! For the second race Adi opened the extended circuit, and as no one owned up to using it before, no-one knew what to expect......
It is at the fastest part of the circuit, where instead of switching left into the short parabolica, the track tightens right, it favours a slower entry....guess what everyone was doing.....More karts were off than on.....those who did a decent job of it were punted off/out by the ones who did`nt, one guy, on his first visit became the official lawnmower and just as he was getting used to the track on his first race, they extended the track!! poor sod,...so it took a while to settle,... in the end the results were largely the same as allways, but hey, it did`nt rain.....................Yea Baby!!
