Buckmore....


They have new Karts at Buckmore! specifically Sodikarts, with a Honda 390cc tuned to around 15 ponies, everything is adjustable which means giants like me can drive them with ease, if not skill.
A slickegos team, along with 26 others, lined up for the first enduro, I can,t tell you enough what a pleasure it was to drive something around the'park that was so stable, consistent in all areas, and while not as gutless as the previous wrecks they had, they were gutless. However, we won, with the peril setting a 49.6 in the process, speedy, and I were in the 50.20's. Because of the stability our strategy worked, and we managed to complete the 3 hours with 3 stops.
They had a snapper for the evening, and a Pic of the Peril leading the pack should be on the B'more website.....The bad news? these Karts have 2 settings, pro, and 'sport', our Kart, and at least 2 others were on the wrong setting, it was a Pro event, so they allowed us the win, but scrubbed the times...not our fault, but there's allways something at Buckmore!!
Now we have to do it all again in the six hour.....
