Well everyone, I'm almost recovered (well not really). Had about 6 hours sleep all weekend, but was well worth it.
I would like to thank everyone for coming and hope you all enjoyed yourselves as much as I did. Also thanks for looking after my house (apart from the serving hatch stunt which has left a hole in one of my new walls and a bit of repainting to be done :smileypul)
It was great seeing lots of old faces again and also the new ones. If anyone is wondering, arox was a lovely guy and it was a pleasure having him there, more than welcome to come back :thumb:
I think the whole weekend went really well, and seeing how knackered everyone was by the end of the karting, we had plenty of track time even with the increased numbers. The karting itself was a blast, the karts were definitely better than the year before, although there were at least one super fast kart (number 6 in last race), and one slow kart (number 1 in last race). The fast kart didn't matter so much as Franky500 had it
. but I did feel sorry for the Swedes, who should have said something BEFORE the event finished, as I'm sure the marshalls could have taken a look at it.
My personal karting day went very well. The first race Mark (my brother) got black flagged, then KayJay ran out of fuel, swapped karts, then I did an extra unneeded pitstop, so to come 5th wasn't so bad. In the endurance race I was determined to at least get a podium and drove like a bat out of hell, and I think all 3 of us drove very well, and to finish 4 laps ahead with the win was great!
It was good to see 6 teams take home something from the day, and Franky500 getting the Driver of the Day was a nice, and deserved touch.
Alot of us partied hard on the Friday, and I have hazy memories of Bread getting his ass out a few times on the live stream, which of course he had to better on the Saturday :x The Saturday started off slowly with everyone being knackered, but after a bit of food (thanks alot Tongey for cooking!) and a few beers, turned out to be another legendary night.
On Sunday I missed saying goodbye to a few people, so sorry for that (although I did stay up till 6am). We then had another BBQ, a few more beers and watched the F1 (with LFS style remote and timing). A perfect finish to a great weekend
Thanks again to everyone for coming and making it a great Kart Meet, and of course you are all welcome back next year. I have spoken to the missus and she has OK'd it, so if you would all like me to do it again, I'd be more than happy to. It gets easier each year to organise, and it also helps that alot came last time. Next year I want my bed though, not mentioning no names
