Whilton Mill Freetech Round 5 & 6

We were back to full strength with 361 making just their 2nd appearance of the season at our home race.

Saturday saw Jimmy, Sam and Tom on board the 360 bike with Russell, Luke and Stuart aboard 361
Both sides of the awning settling into things and laptimes were tumbling.
Tom took the honour of our fastest lap so took on SuperPole, sticking us P4 overall but with the fast boys of the class in close contention.
We had a slow start with the persistent bogging off the line dropping us to P10!
Chipping away we came away with P6 4th in class, slightly disappointed with our laptimes being more than competitive to be higher placed.

361 qualified 38th overall taking the day steady after months away, climbed upto 30th overall and hitting sub minute laps.

Saturday 360 saw Tommy the racing leprechaun join us with what he assures us is a 'work' related injury to his elbow that he was managing.

We tried some alternative tyres to our usual chouce which we all agreed weren't going to cut it for the race so we rushed a new front in for the race after Sam stuck us P6 in Superpole even after his 'Marquez moment' losing and catching the front mid lap.

Tom took starting duties getting away well and right in the mix, all going too well some might say as Jimmy walked down for his 1st stint there was a lack of Acid Green and an ominous yellow flag at turn 2. Disaster Tom was down, Ben was running the bike back to the awning, a quick strip of fairings, straighten the bars and repositioned some levers we were back out. Quickly on the out lap and something was a miss, back to the pits some more fettling and we were back out dead last....again, story of our season.....recovery ride incoming.

Target 1 the sister bike who had made a decent start and were chipping away at their laptimes Luke having knocked 6 seconds off his laps over the weekend and Russell sticking in a 58.6 for the teams quickest time of the weekend. Shout out to Stuart who was still knocking out 1:00 laps long into hour 7 at his senior age 🤣

One rider down 360 churned out the laps slowly making up ground. Sam taking the fastest lap honours with a 55.7
With some of our championship rivals also struggling we had to dig deep and limit the damage.
Ending up P10 overall and P6 in class we will take it, taking us within 1 point of RaceFasteners in P3 for the production championship.

361 kept it steady all day P18 overall P12 in class 👏

Another slog for the 360 boys and steady away for 361. Overall a top weekend racing, unless you are called Tom who has unfortunately broken his back after his exit at turn 2. Big thanks to the medical staff and Ben for seeing he was alright on the day ensuring he could get home and to hospital.

Ellough Park Rounds 3+4!
Friday practice and 2 hour sprint
Saturday 10 hour Endurance

The first of the longer races on the kart tracks for 2026.
Jimmy and Sam made the trek up to Beccles for the Friday practice and Sprint race, a few sessions under our belts to learn the track and we parked it keeping an eye on the amount of laps we had in store over the rest of the weekend and the wear the Bridgestone slicks were showing.

Sam qualified us P4 in superpole and we were set for the race, majority of the race we were fighting for the podium spots, both riders bettering their laptimes. Until the end Jimmys final stint when another rider fell off on front of him and he decided to match it and followed suit, this ended up costing us our 1st podium of the year. P5 in class P9 overall.

Overnight we gave the bike a good once over, changed the bent rear brake pedal and some fresh Bridgestone rubber for the 10hr.

Saturday and the Two Toms, Tom and Tommy arrived ready for the big one!
We split first practice so both fresh riders could learn the track. 9 minutes each. Sorted let's send it.

We sent Tom B out for qualifying 1 where he sailed through P8 54.50
Q2 we sent Tom again as he was the only rider in kit 🤣 and he smashed us P9 with a 53.6

Race start is on Jimmy, steady away is the goal. A good launch and we were racing, avoiding a sliding Round Racing at turn 1 we were settling in until a rider fell in front of us on lap 2 and with nowhere to go took us down.
Back up and in the pits to straighten a bar we were back out. Dead last 5 laps down.

Time to graft and get our heads down, we felt we had the pace as a team to be at the top and it was time to show it.

Over the hours we chipped away making our way through the field and after a few hours we found ourselves back on the podium chase, a second mechanical meant we had to pull Jimmy in 2 laps into a stint to tighten a footpeg costing another lap to those around us.
Tom and Sam were having their own personal battle for quickest lap in the team with Tom setting a 52.7 on lap 431 showing how hard the boys were working for the result!

Going into the final hour we were back on the same lap as the bike in front with the aim to keep them in sight and hope we can pull them in before the end.
With 15minutes of the 10 hours remaining, down came the rain🌧.....Sam giving us the 'what shall I do' arm and the team on the pit wall telling him to stay out. Teams pitted around us while we stayed out, this meant we sat P3 in class, once the flag went green Sam went for it and clinched P2 in the last few minutes. Securing our first podium of the year!

P2 in class
P5 overall

A solid weekend overall and the boys buzzing with the Endurance result!

Massive thanks to Phillip Room who was time keeper, bike runner and tactician all weekend. 💪
