Karting – Kimbolton – 7th – 9th August:
This weekend was to be a new challenge for me as I would be racing something else instead of my original kart…. New kart… new characteristics… new setup!
Old Kart… 2004 Wildkart Fighter
New Kart… 2007 Wright Kart Suzuka 2 [Read the rest of this entry...]
James today will set off back to the UK for his 2nd race meeting of the year at Kimbolton. He will be using a newer kart this time so is hopeful of securing some descent results. He will be testing the kart at Red Lodge Karting Outdoor Kart Track. This is nessacery for him to get used to how the new kart feels compared to his older one.
Ive today added a gallery to the website. There will be some more pictures added over the next few days, so keep checking back for updates. Click the “Gallery” link at the top of the page.

Kimbolton
My 2nd trip to the U.K was at the Venue of Kimbolton in Cambridge.
This event marked a landmark for the Venue and their Club (Hunts Kart Club) as it has been 50 years since they first started racing, so yes it was a Golden Anniversary event!! And I was part of it!!!
Unfortunately due to noise restrictions, the track was closed on Friday, meaning I had no day of practice to learn the track, making my task even harder… [Read the rest of this entry...]
The Team
Karting – Rye House – 1st – 3rd May:
Friday:
Arrived at the kart track at 10 AM, Rye house had a track day lasting until 5 PM, giving me plenty of time to sort out the setup and familiarise myself with the track.
My dad and his friend (Former Auto Express Journalist) Kim Adams were my mechanics for the weekend and was also getting driving tips from ex national Rotax Masters racer Simon Lonnergan. [Read the rest of this entry...]
Farewell Jersey
Well it is my final race in Jersey and it ended on a spectacular note!
A busy final race for me with plenty of competition in my group, a lot of new faces that have moved up from the Junior class, including the 2008 Junior Max champion, Josh Vautier (#68) who was adamant he could take the title in his first year out, however the 2008 seniors champion Greg Harris (#85) was to make sure Vautier wouldnt do that, including buying an Engine from Ogden Motorsports that he had tested for him by no other than Nigel Mansell!!

Tomorrow is the day that James sets off for England and his first weekend of karting in the UK. The location he will be racing at is Rye House in Hertfordshire. This will be the first time James has been to the UK to race in competition.
Today James raced his final race in Jersey, the weekend didnt start of the way he wanted with a roll in Heat 1. The kart had to be rebuilt so it was race ready again. James did however manage a 3rd place in the third race of the day where he started from the back of the grid.
