AKC wrap up
What a weekend! The event was HUGE, the competition was fierce, and unfortunately… the weekend didn’t quite go to plan. But that’s racing! 🏎️
THURSDAY — SETUP DAY
First look at the event and WOW… this place was seriously impressive! 😳
The scale, the atmosphere and the number of karts had us pretty excited for the weekend ahead.
FRIDAY — PRACTICE
Four sessions on track — two practice sessions and two timed sessions to sort out the groups.
With 54 drivers in the field, competition was seriously tough. And with only four girls racing, I was pretty proud to be one of them!
SATURDAY — HEAT DAY
Qualifying put me P24 in my group, ready to fight my way forward.
Heat 1: P22
Heat 2: DNF
Unfortunately, Heat 2 ended early thanks to a mechanical issue. Not exactly the result we were hoping for! 😬
Huge thanks to Dad for getting stuck in and working his magic to get me back out there.
SUNDAY — HEAT 3
Starting from P26, I knew I had work to do!
And I got stuck straight into it — by turn 3 I got to P18!
Then… racing happened. 🤦♀️
An incident ahead caught me out and a mistake of my own dropped me back to **P21** by the finish.
Unfortunately, that meant no final — and missing the final was definitely the biggest disappointment of the weekend. That was the goal, and I really wanted to be out there fighting for it.
But hey… you don’t learn much from the easy weekends! 😉
This weekend gave me heaps to take away, plenty to work on and even more motivation to come back stronger. 💪
