The TOTAL –

Mombasa Go-Kart CHAMPIONSHIP 2005

 

 

April Races – Stage 4

 

April Race Format

Like in March we had also in April a special race format. This time it was a KO-Race. We divided all participants in groups of three drivers, which competed in races over only 5 laps. The last one in every race was out, while the others continued in a next group of again three drivers. After 18 races we remained with only four drivers and finally with a winner. The grouping and kart allocation was out of the hat.

 

Guest Race

In the Guest Race we had only 3 drivers. So a place on the podium was assured by everyone. The other drivers did not show up, I guess they feared the rain, but at the time of start the track was dry.

Winner was Farouq Sherali (CHANGANYA), second : Ian Hay and third: Paul Tucker.

 

The Race

The start was not on the usual grid, so we needed no qualifying. The karts started in parallel, while the drivers with heavy weights could start a few meters ahead. In the days before the race we matched the karts and the start grid positions in a way that every driver regardless his weight will reach the first bend after at the same time. This worked then also in practice and it was often very tight in the first bend with three drivers in parallel.

Fourteen participants started in the first heats. The 5 looser got a second chance and finally we entered the second heats with eleven drivers. In the third heats we remained with Nadeem, Adnan, Alnoor as a group and two other groups of two with Torben against Gary and Adam against Steven.

In the next heats we remained with Gary against Steven in a very thrilling fight, which was finally won by Gary and Nadeem against Addy. The two brothers seem to have a magic attraction then since the first race they had to compete always together. But now they were only two so one has to leave and it was Nadeem who won.

After 20 races we got Gary Samson as the winner, Nadeem Din was second and Adnan Din and Steven Webb were third and forth.

 

Championship Points

After four races Steven Webb is leading with 63 points, followed by Adnan Din and Gary Sampson. Out of the 8 Championship races only six will award points.

Steven did not miss any race up to now while the others missed both one. If we do not count his race with the lowest points then he falls back to rank three.

Leading team is KENOZ with Steven, Anita Irwin and Shasa Thornton, and

second team up to now is KENYALASTMINUTE.COM with Torben and Beth Rune and Gary Sampson.

 

Next Race

Next Championship races are on 28th May. It will be a normal race format like the very first one. For once it would be nice challenge if we had rain.
