Sunday 3rd of April 2016,
When we arrived at Seaham youth centre, there was around 30 drivers there, the track was getting built so I went to help to build it. I was surprised to see that it was a very interesting and different track as there were many obstacles and also that the main jump was on the opposite side of the track to usual.

Going into rd 1 I new there was a few sections that would be tricky to drive at speed so i just went steady and tried my best for a clean run. It ended decent i won my heat with a time of 16 laps in 314 seconds.
My Kyosho RB was feeling great and super easy to drive.

RD2
we changed nothing on the buggy for this round just checked and cleaned it. I had another solid consistent run and getting a bit more used to the layout i took 10s off my previous time.
i finished with 16 laps in 304 seconds.

RD3
for this round i was hoping for a better time again as we turned the buggy up 5% in the end point. Although it was only a small amount i could turn a decent lap but was making more mistakes and my buggy felt edgy and not as consistent as the previous rds. i also had a bit of bad luck with coming together other buggies in this rd. I finished with a time of 16 laps in 304 seconds again.

RD4
We thought we would try and keep the speed so left the end point up on the car as it was the previous rd. My dad cut the outer row of spikes off my rear tyres (yellow mini spikes) to try and make it a bit less edgy at the faster speed. I achieved my best run of the night despite hitting a overturned car on my last lap and loosing 5-6 seconds.i still finished with 17 laps in 316 seconds i also got my best lap of the night of 17.19

We lined up on the final on the straight in our grid order and waited for the count down,I got a decent start but unfortunately on the 2nd corner i ran wide and a buggy came on my inside and we contacted and i rolled over onto my roof. All of the other buggies passed and i thought my race was over,then i thought just keep it cool and clean and see what happens.i just put my head down trying to laps and do my own race and ignor the other cars i some how managed to get back upto second place i was catching the leader but ran out of time my buggy felt great and i was pleased with my driving.
