On the weekend of the 17th September, we upheld the long standing tradition of a Bucks Party for the Groom. We decided to break the day into four main parts:
- Go Karting
- Lunch
- Race Simulation
- Drinking
We turned up to Darlington Park Raceway at about 8.30 in the morning for a package event. It included a warm up, qualifying, three races and a final. The circuit was fantastic, sitting just down from the crest of the hill. It was fast, without being too straight and very interesting to drive with all of the up and down sections; one of the most entertaining and fun circuits I’ve ever raced on in a go-kart.
I didn’t place at all, though I had a blast. The standout driver across the races was without a doubt, Danny. He was consistently faster than everyone else on the circuit, at times up to 2 seconds per lap – with times in the 62 second area.
There were plenty of thrills, I know I went in too deep into a corner and broadslided into my older brother Andrew. Meanwhile, Brendan had some sort of a break failure (which we all thought was worth a good laugh afterwards), in the fastest section of the track. Fortunately, or unfortunate, depending on how you look at it – there were no spills.
All and all, it was an excellent morning of racing and I think everyone had a great time.
Good one Al. You have put up a photo without me in it !
Sorry Andrew, I’ll put up another photo when I get home.
It isn’t as good a photo, but it will serve the purpose.
Al.
How hang over do I look hahahaha
Yeah, you were looking a little ordinary.
I’m actually surprised you were able to drive in the races and not throw up, heh.
to me it almost says : “take that photo and i’ll come over there and cram that camera somewhere you wont like”
Have you tried Kingston Park Raceway?
Ian,
I went go karting at Kingston Park Raceway in February with Andrew (comment #1) and Ian (comment #3) – where I got sunburnt which lasted quite a long time. We had a blast actually, it was a good day out. I particularly liked the chicane on the back side of the track, taking that at full speed was fantastic!
Al.
