Wreck by top drivers preparing for an international tournament. Early stop strategy as clear gap opens up early.

Closing out the laps in race 1 maximizing positions.

Better qualifying keeps me in the game tonight. An ill-advised early move into the first breaking zone creates some separation. Looking for pace after hearing the wreck. Bodyweight impacts pace a bit, but confidence grows as P6 Fades. Focusing on clean laps and looking for a good pit stop window.

Found the pit window and secured P5. Clean laps and minimal errors produce consistent performance. Solid evening with P5 in both races.

Two qualifying heats determined the starting position for the final. Drama ensues as early moves and strategy have costly impact. Strategic defense in the final laps create interest. Who will end up in front?

The battle ahead comes to a head. After threading the needle, the trailing driver attempts an overtake that wasn't on offer. This slowed us from maintaining over the driver we were attempting to beat out of the pits the same lap. An error on an attempted shorter path in the breaking zone re-created the gap. Unfortunately, we run out of time making up for this lost time. However, net gain of 1 spot due to THE WRECK.

Kart 22 is a better piece. It was a little tight on left handers and steering a challenge requiring many corrections on right handers. Took a few laps to fix these small errors and making the input adjustments needed to steer properly with this kart. Looking for battling ahead to get spicy. Early stop when the gap presents itself to avoid tapping from a younger driver in a faster kart who was tapping on corner entry causing slow laps. Drivers ahead cover and strategy is resolved the rest of the race must be clean!

Once again a sitting duck in the 11. Doing my best to stay in front of the final attackers. Signaling attempts to avoid drama due to benefiting from black flags, penalty recipients, and other battles. No luck...

Round 5 Race 1 is pretty much like the average Novice League race at VLK. I put Kart 11 further forward than it deserved on qualifying and was a sitting duck the rest of the race. Doing the best to avoid the errors of the field in front as they find the walls and wrecking. Getting swallowed by karts that were faster but couldn't be qualified by their drivers. Yielding to a good driver in a faster kart to reduce time loss on track to the rest.

Grip level high enough to require significant adjustments to breaking zones and turn-in points. So many mistakes and wall clipping as a result. Losing gobs of time. Kart 18 doing enough to stay ahead. Grip level produced track record level lap times in the mid 60s. Mid-pack lap times about 1s off the leaders. Doing our best to catch the 7 before the race is over.

Mid-pack Kart 13. What can you do, Kart 18 doing well, early passes not on offer, per the rules of the cone and bumping. Too much contact from behind forces early pit-strategy. Grip level extremely high adjustments for this level of grip are necessary for success.

Doing my best to stay in touch with Kart 7. As the grip increases, kart rotation and breaking zones begin to change. Finding the right balance the rest of the way. All I can do is limit the damage. Another youngster using the wall on exit to complete his pass. Not quite enough to get him back immediately. HOPPING the rest of the way. Easter Monday! Figured it out to little to late.

Put the 28 further forward than it deserved. Damage limitation. Kart 13 was better, unfortunately the driver made the mistake of following me into the pit due to the off track strategist. Got used up as there was no use in defending and losing more time. Focusing on reducing hoping and getting the kart to turn without getting the engine bogged down. Grip started to get high as the track heats up with drivers running the optimum line. Kart 7 makes his way through no use in defending, but they have to complete these passes. The wall is their friend.

The 19 covers my pitstop move and he has gained. The pressure is on to not fall behind the rest of the top 5. Attacking the laps to catch back up. The longer the rest of the top 5 waits, the better chance at recovery. The 19 also gets held up by mid-pack drivers which brings him back to our race. The game is on, can a run be generated? Are there any penalties? Perhaps being too nice with the hand in apology.

Starting P3. One of the youngsters on the pole for the first time. She is quickly overtaken and does her best to stay with the 19. Unfortunately, she gets to close in one of the corners which created an opportunity which was exploited. The pursuit of the 19 is on. A bit of a conservative pit stop puts me behind a mid-fielder who opened the door and made quick work but lost time hoping to regain this time with the clear laps.

Attempts by the trailing driver continue. His kart is better, but must complete the moves. Subtle gestures were offered to help the student figure out how to generate better runs. However, he chose to settle in after a few failed attempts as we keep gapping the pack behind securing our positions.

Put the 4 further up the grid than it deserved. After an early push due to the accordion effect, it was clear that I would need to get clear of the battles and focus on myself. The kart wouldn't get out of the corners on the low end so perfection is required for whatever I can salvage in this race. Luckily some battles start to develop behind through the pit cycle. Fighting for every spot, come and get it!
