New Beginnings

Right. There were no updates for the pass few months. And I hope to change that.

I was away working in Norway for the last 6 months. And there was no karting at all, nada, zilch. But my kart was loaned out to a friend to race and came back with a blown engine which has already been repaired up to a tune of $1,200. My My My, no karting done, but still paying and paying and paying.

What I have been doing the last 6 months was a lot of reading. Reading up on kart setups. Reading up on the Rotax Max FR125 engine, which IS the engine on my kart. And during the repair, found out it is a year 2007 engine. Reading up on maintenance. Reading up on gear ratios. Etc....etc...

Now that I am back. I hope to apply those that I have read and learnt on my kart. There will be one more trip in August to London, which is smack right on the date of the 7th race of the season. Once I am back, I will have to run the engine in, and hope to prepare it in time for the 8th race in September.

In the meantime, I will think of what I want to acheive before this race, and immediately after that. I know I can drive fast, but I need to be more consistent. And also always learning ways to drive even faster. Priority is still in my driving and racecraft, and I will learn setup along the way.

I hope to improve this blog as well. Looks really stale to me. And I will use it as a record for all my races that I join.

Keep tune.
