Croft This Weekend

I am racing at my local curcuit, Croft this weekend. Should be a good weekend of racing. I am racing in the Open Championship on saturday and in the Superprix on sunday. I am looking forward to racing my new car for the first time.

My new mini

  I have got a new mini after the incedent I had a Blyton in September. I have been testing in it recently. It is all stickered up and ready to go at the weekend for the last round in the Open Championship and the Superprix at Croft on the 24th and 25th October.

Blyton

Blyton was a two day event on the 13th and 14th of September, I drove best I have ever driven.  I had a great days racing on the saturday, with a 2nd place, three 3rd places and two 4th places in the heats, but unfortunately a car spun infront of me in the A final, which caused a crash and I ended up in the barrier.

Overnight my dad and the K Motorsport team managed to straighten my car and get it running for sundays races. Many thanks to all who helped.

After another good days racing on the sunday, I am now 6th in the Open Championship out of 14 drivers.

Lydden

On the bank holiday in August I was racing at Lydden Hill, in Kent. I had never raced there before, I had some good races and finished 4th overall in the final.

Chris Birkbeck Rallyschool with Guy Wilks Instructing

 On friday 8th August Keifer, George and myself went to Chris Birkbeck Rallyschool, for our half day intensive tuition. We had Chris himself and Guy Wilks instructing us in what proved to be a very useful and enjoyable experience. I would like to say a big thank you to the organisers of the Open Championship for awarding me with this prize, I would also like to thank Chris Birkbeck and Guy Wilks for giving me this oppurtunatly.

Racing at Croft - Most improved driver of the year award!

It was a wet and miserable weekend at Croft. My car wasn’t going well, it had a misfire which we could not solve. I finished 9th overall. However after a bad day racing, I was one of three awarded ‘most improved driver of the year so far’, and was awarded a half-day tuition at Chris Birkbeck Junior Rallyschool.

Croft

I am racing at Croft on 6th July, I am really excited. It is my home track and I had my first race there back in March. I have got lots of friends and family coming to support me. I am hoping to improve on my 6th place in the Open Rallycross Championship. It will be good fun and more practice for me.

Pembrey

I was racing at Pembrey in Wales this weekend, I came 4th in the BTRDA Rallycross Championship, and 6th in the Rallycross Open Championship with a puncture. These are my best results so far in the season.

Blyton

I was racing at Blyton yesterday, crashed again, so I am known as Kelly “basher” Bird now! But I got back out there again and came 4th in one final and 7th in the other.

Blyton

Racing at Bylton on Bank Holiday Monday.

I’m really excited, it’s my first race since my crash at Blyton, so hoping not to do the same!
