Alright. I aint a competetive bloke...apart from sport. I came 8th in the grand prix last year and got kind of disqualified in our mid season jolly to liskeard's kart world this summer for being too aggressive. Meh.
So today, i really wanted to do well. Racing started at 4 and by then we had a warm dry track.
It was perfect racing conditions.
After the qualifiers, i'd been flying. Maybe the copious herbage before helped?

For the actual grand prix....i staryed in pole position

At this point i was loving every minute of it. Sat on the.grid in fucking pole!
Two good mates who i know are fast were in 2&3 with last year's champion on 4.
The first lap was tight.and hairy between the four of us and i got dicked by two karts on lap two.
At the end of that lap you go under a bridge and theres a swoop left onto the home straight. I brought more speed in than the guy in front of me and got.the inside line. As the curve steepened.we were.side by side. Whereupon he dicked.me into the tryes. Just a scrape but it robbed.me.speed and the overtake. So i floored it down the home straight and was re.catching him. As we got.to the sharp turn at the end.of the straight i outbraked.him. Did.a.swerve left and a swerve.right to suss the overtake line and shit him up. Came out of the corner ahead of him and back in second place. Next thing i know i have no power and the marshall is flagging me to the side. The wanker gave me.a.stop go penalty for the overtake

which dropped.me to 9th...
Effectively race over for me but there was still a dozen laps to go so heh....have some fun innit....once the rage had.settled.
At the end i finished in 5th just behind the leading group of four. I was proper.pissed off and ranted at the marshall about not understanding what real fucking racing means

for some reason he.said.he'd heard it all before
However, i can claim a small moral victory or.two.
I.was on pole.
I improved my ranking by 3 places.
I got the joint fastest lap and also the.second and.third fastest laps.
Yon champion from last year fucking won again though and.twas.him that tied.me for.fastest lap anorl...
Bastard.
All in the name of fun.eh
soz for.typos agin...my wrists are fucked.and so are me fingers and so is my head
