Karting, skidding and working too hard

Took Alex karting to Combe on Sunday, latest round of the Junior Championship. Lord it was cold....Was wearing my CarbonX underwear set just to stay warm - and I wasn't going to catch fire, either! Bit of an oiverkill I know, but I did stay toasty warm.

Alex didn't do too badly. A couple of points up on his pre-Christmas average and considering he hasn't been for over a month that was pretty good. Don't they grow quickly at this age? He's already out-running his current kartsuit, good job we've got the latest Sabelt Stratos-K online, looks like he'll be the guinea pig.

Snowy days are made in heaven for a SKID CAR instructor :-) I've really enjoyed wheel-spinning around the car parks, but I do get disapproving looks from miserable old ladies of all ages and both sexes - lighten up guys, it only happens every now and again, and I reckon I know what I'm doing. Remember the word "FUN"?

Not that there's been a huge amount of time for that, we've been really busy. We're quoting for bespoke motorcycle racing leathers, indoor and outdoor karting overalls and supplying loads of FIA-homologated suits to comply with the latest rally regulations. It's great, we're busier than ever, just imagine what it could be like when the recession ends!
