Report from PRO Chris Tyerman – Race 1 (19th October 2025)
Things weren’t looking good for racing last Sunday, with threats of rain and a northerly dueling with a sea breeze, and members struggling to keep their karts moving as they warmed up.
But then a strong westerly with dark clouds behind it came up and we decided to get everyone racing before it got all muddy. We set a two-mark sausage course, and it was some of the funnest and most interesting racing I’ve been in at our track. As it was directly up and down wind, you had to carefully pick a path through the moguls to keep your speed up going downwind, and to minimise tacking and pinching when going up, all while being mindful of rough ground and the other karts.
I had a good start to the day but then Jack ran away with the rest of the races, except race 7 when the wind dropped out and only Luke and David could keep their karts rolling to get the win.
Also, it never rained and we all got to go home with clean cars and karts. Hope to see you at the next race on 2/11!
