MINI2 Karting
Went karting at Warden Law with a bunch of MINI2ers this last weekend. In contrast to the first MINI2 event, this one was nice and dry and levelled the playing field a little. No more of the 8-seconds-faster-than-the-pack nonsense. It was more like 3 seconds this time. ;) As well as the guys from MINI2, a couple of friends of the circuit — themselves kart owners — joined in. These guys were quick. They also weren’t averse to nudging the rest of us. Very sporting. Not. Still, at the end of the final, I’d held on to second place, which I guess is fairly respectable. The fella who beat me was, somewhat patronisingly, counted out of the reckoning for the trophy (some codswallop about him taking shortcuts, which he definitely didn’t). At least it meant I picked up another gong to put on the shelves at home. Even if I didn’t win, I can pretend I did. :) For the record, my best lap time on the full circuit (with the revised Dog Leg corner) was 67.173secs.
