So...my second kart race is now behind me, and it wasn't a good one. I've purchased myself a new kart ahead of this seasen, a winning one for that matter, but my inexperience showed big time. It all started very well and qualifying went superb having qualified fourth, after I had improved my time by 2 seconds in that session. That gave me all the convidence for race 1, and that showed, as I made a beautiful start and slotted into third. The two guys ahead of me (positions one and two) were much more experienced and noticeably faster than me but I knew I had to keed up with them. While I was able to do that for a couple of laps, I was then overtaken to go back to fourth. This locked me in a battle for the rest of the race with third placed man, which was getting slower than me later on in the race, and I was about to pull a move on him. But, as I lined myself up for a better exit on one of the straights I went wide and spun on the grass. I decided (in my infinite stupidity) not to rejoin the track and that left me 8th in that race, and I would start from that position on sunday. An incident in the first corner meant I lost time on my first lap, and eventually I finished fifth. Not good having in mind that I had podium pace.
