4th place at Rowrah – despite the Cumbrian weather

Rowrah is a fantastic technical drivers circuit built in an old quarry. Atrocious Cumbrian weather made it difficult to learn in the wet but as the track dried during Sunday race day Sam recovered from a disappointing wet heat one to come through the remaining heats well,  finishing 4th in the final and just missing out on another trophy. Race report here.

Maiden heat win for Sam whilst testing new chassis

Sam stormed through the weekend on the new Tony Kart Viper chassis this weekend at Rissington achieving his maiden heat victory with some comfort. He was robbed of his first Rissington trophy by a red flag in the final. In the restart the engine flooded and wouldnt fire – so they started without him. Sam started the final plumb last! Full race report here.

Press coverage

Sams 4th place achievement at the East Anglian Trophy Meeting was covered by the Ashbourne News Telegraph this week. See the article here.

Big incident at Superprix ruins Sam’s weekend

Despite showing great speed throughout practice, Sam’s weekend came to a crashing halt in Heat 1 when his race engine seized mid-race and started a chain of events that left Sam thrown out of his kart and sprawled in the middle of the track. The rest of the weekend was just about repairing the kart and getting back in the seat. No lasting damage to either kart or driver, just Dad’s wallet!!  We live to fight another day. Full race report here.

The boy is back. Sam takes silverware at the East Anglian Trophy Meeting

For all you karters struggling out there, every dog has his day ….
