[Top Down]

2020 got off to a cracking start at the B St E Club, with 'The Club Car Clash' doubling the number of drivers on the grid to fourteen, with seven of them being new!

Class 1 - 'The Klub Kart Klash' was a good choice to ease the newbies into the swing of things, the Karts being very stable, evenly matched and most of all - fun to drive!

   

Five of the six on the rostrum were new. Guess which?

The only experienced driver David, looking to his left, leads by a good half a lap as his Kart enters the straight from the right.

   

Hot pursuit.

   

Fourteen racers. Count them - but don't forget the one taking the photo too! (Black racing garb seemed to be the order of the day.)

   

Was this what drew them all in? A promise of cake to celebrate Mark's 50th? Let's hope they come back for more - racing that is - at the next meeting 

   

Class 2 - the Gp5 grid ready for ....

   

..... the off. 

Novices and Masters are very evenly matched as they leave the start.

   

It's not long before the grid spreads out though.

   

There were some close finishes in the heats ...... 

   

.... and overall. 

   

Class 3 - Trucks. A good spread of karts, Gp5's and finally trucks gave the new arrivals a broader appreciation of the styles of racing and driving and hopefully will draw then back for more.

   

Two Southpaws get to grips with the controllers, trucks and track. All six are a study in concentration. 

   

Is that a sneaky substitution? Santa's sleigh truck?

   

Plenty of action as they lean on each other in the turns, just like the real thing. 

   

And the scores - on the, err - doors?  Looks like the established names are going to have to look to their laurels.   

   

Feedback was great, so let's hope one or two they are all hooked.
