The national karting championship sponsored by Nescafe kicked
off here in Singapore last weekend.
Although there will be much more that the organizers can make it
better for the racers, teams, and spectators (like myself), I reckon it
was a good start to the long awaited event.
Since I was in Plentong on Saturday, I went to look see look see the
races on Sunday, 18 Apr.
I had never seen this place so packed! I was lucky to have a car park lot
when I reached about 10.30am. By noon, I think the road alongside the
venue was littered with cars!
Managed to see many familiar faces there, and was like a huge gathering
of many speed demons there.
Really happy to see James Lee's son, Jon, finished 1st in his race,and he was featured in the Straits Times on Monday.
Also delighted that Thaddeus, and Paul (father and son) who both
came home with 2nd finish in their respective class.
Although towards the end, there was some serious altercations happening
at the 2nd floor viewing gallery because I think (i'm really unsure who is it)
a boy dad is so angry with some of the Axle Sports personnel launching a
protest against his son Final result. Axle Sports had claimed that this man's
driver had crossed the pit exit white line 3 times during the Final race.
According to the rules there should be some form of penalty, but there
is none apparently taken or issued.
Bearing in mind this is the 1st race after a long while here in Singapore,
so I guess by the second race here we will and really hope we see better
officials here.
