It was back to the old faithfuls of Thunderkarts
for Round 7 at Buckmore. A small entry of only 14 Karts saw some excelent racing
and a few incidents that left one driver nursing a bruised hand ( this willhappenif
you inspect under the tyre wall at speed). Results on the evening have set up
the final race of the season with everything to play with all positions in the
Championship up for grabs. First hoome on the evening was J'
Jumble with FEV Lion TT getting their best finish of the season
to date with a 2nd. In 3rd was DT Racing after a penalty imposed for
only 3 drivers dropped them 2 places. First home in the Clubman Class was Thompson's
picking up their first trophy of the season.

5. Round 5 Race (Buckmore) ~ Thunderkarts
Round 5 again saw the circus back at Buckmore
but this time on a wet track and the hint of more rain...... Practice was interesting
with many teams finding where the grip was (and in many cases where not). A
mixed field of experienced and novice karters meant an interesting night ahead.
However, the rain clouds cleared soon after the start and the lap times started
to get quicker culminating with I'm Lovin it getting the best of the
evening with a 50.411second lap in the latter part of the race. Honours this
time out went to J's
Jumble with
DT
Racing just
15 seconds down the track. In a respectable 3rd with another podium finish came
FEV
Ford Squad. In the Clubman Class Odds & Sods 2 are
starting to make a real impression as they took the class win and a respectable
9th on track.
A tremendous evening of racing with fast but fair competition enjoyed by all

4. Round 4 Race (Buckmore) ~ Thunderkarts
Round 4 saw us back at the familiar circuit
of Buckmore on a bright warm summers evening. Just right for good karting. A
reasonable field of 18 karts took to the circuits with a number of new teams
to teh series and in some cases Karting generally. A
fire at hairpin 1 on one of the novice karts disrupted the 2 half of practice
meaning that with the yellows out flying laps were disrupted so the earlier
times were the better. DT took the pole and that set the tone of the evening....
DT Racing led the field home
and with fastest lap as well took all the points available. Coming in 2nd with
an excellent race was FEV Ford Squad just piping J's Jumble
to that place by 0.6 seconds (really close racing). There were battles throughout
the field and the new teams were led home by Shy Tall Knight who also had an
excellent inaugral race.
A great time was had by all and there was
some good competitive karting though the whole race . Well done to all concerned.

3. Round 3 Race (Lydd) ~ Club 100 TKM Karts
Round 3 saw Karting Challenge on a track
many drivers had yet to experience and for those that had there was running
'the wrong way round' to give a little extra to the day. So not only was there
the 'buzz' of the 2 strokes but there was the novelty of the circuit. A vey
hot day was unusual especially on a Bank Holiday Monday but everyone was eager
for the experience. There were a number of 1~off teams making up the numbers
for this particular race with a few of the regulars not able to get along. The
results include the 'Non Championship teams' (NCT's) but the standings reflect
the regular teams positions with respect to Championship points.
Confidence was high in the J's Jumble team who played their Joker even
though 2 stroke racing can be unpredictable This confidence showed immediately
and practice saw them on pole and it was a lights to flag victory with the extra
bonus of fastest lap thrown in. In 4th Place on track but 2nd in the championship
class behind 2 NCT's came DT Racing and 6th on track 3rd in Class were McDude
McRacing.
A terrific
day's racing and the August event with Club 100 back at Buckmore is eagerly
awaited
2. Round 2 Race (Buckmore) ~ Thunderkarts
Round 2 saw a WET race
and some very good driving that went with good racing. 16 teams braved the elements
that saw the evening begining the briefing with a dry track but before practice
a fully wet track was in evidence.
Congratulation goes to DT racing for a win from first lap to flag and also judging
it right with the Joker to pick up maximum points. J's Jumble were a valiant
2nd but a lap down with McDude McRacing a further 1/2 a lap back in 3rd
New team Team Pathetic took the honours in Clubmanfollowed in by Odds &
Sods a lap down with NVH Monkeys taking 3rd in class.

1. Round 1 Race (Buckmore) ~ Thunderkarts
Congratulations go to J's
Jumble for the first win of the 2008 series. Cold but dry conditions met
the teams at Buckmore for the first round and it wasn't too long before everyone
was 'back in the groove.' Although a small field first time out there was some
very close racing and a simple driver change would drop teams 5 places on the
leader board. So close was it that the top 3 teams all finished on the same
lap and top 8 teams wer spread over only 4 laps. As said J's Jumble
took the inaugral win followed home by FEV Ford Squad and DT Racing
in that order. Clerk of the Course Phil Ling said it was ' probably one
of the easiest races I've ever had' so well done to everyone concerned.
