Want your crash helmet painted?
May 06, 2008

After finding ourselves swamped with helmets a month or so ago we have now caught up completely and have spaces available now.

Martyn Lyell / Luke Woodland

Steven Napier / Adam Mackay
 Emi Roberti / Graeme Macfarlene  Dean Golba / Katie Doggett

 For a while we were struggling a bit as Martyn's dad was unwell and couldn't do as much work; thankfully his health has now improved and he's well on the way to being fully fit again and able to rtake on more work.  If you like the look of the crash helmets we have already done and fancy a paint job like that - or completely different - just email us at and we can see what we can do. 

Interesting (??) Web stuff

Well Someone might find it interesting ?

Web Browsers

We've been trying out different web browsers.  Most folk will stick with Windows Internet Explorer as it comes with Windows - we were using IE7.  We read a few comments recently somewhere about how IE7 is not as secure as it could be and there are otyher, better, faster, more secure options.  Se we did a little search on the internet and came up with three viable alternatives.  They are all free and can be easily downloaded and set up.  They all gave the option of copying over your favourites from IE7.

PFI debut postponed
Apr 30, 2008
(a) PFI

Even although Martyn has been racing 5 years - and in National championships in all but one year (Super Two in '03, SuBirds-eye view of PFI Circuitper One in '05, '06 and '07) he has never raced at arguably the UK's top circuit  PFI - amazing really, considering he has been all over the UK - from Golspie in the North of Scotland to Clay Pigeon in Dorset, and Lydd in Kent (next stop France....)

He was due to make his PFI debut this weekend (4th May) but that has now been postponed  a month as his dad has to go into hospital for a minor operation.  It was due to be on the 8th May but it was brought forward a week when a theatre session became available.  Trent Valley Kart Club (TVKC) were very understanding and the entry has been carried forward to next month

As usual - if your connection speed is too slow it might help if you pause the video until it is all loaded then press play.  You might also want to try going directly to the YouTube website and watching it from there

 

TKM Super One Larkhall - 27 April 2008
Apr 28, 2008

Well that didn't go exactly to plan !!!!!

Video also available

Testing on Friday in the dry - on old tyres - first time on a TKM kart since October last year.  In the dry Martyn was pretty much on the pace of the front runners and was feeling quite confident of getting a good result.

Testing on Saturday - it had rained and in the wet Martyn was easily quickest.  We had timed him generally around a full second a lap faster than most and the closest drivers were around 0.6s slower than him.  With a wet forecast it was looking good...  However it soon dried up and stayed that way.  In the dry, as it got hotter and the track got grippier Martyn struggled, much to everyone's surprise.  He could not find a setup to let the kart release cleanly out of the corners losing loads of time on the straights.

New tyres might sort it?  Well, unfortunately when he fited his new control tyres for timed practice it was no better and he was nowhere in qualifying.  12th in his session.  Last year Martyn was never out of the top 5 in timed practice!  This was getting embarrasing!!!

Raceday - Sunday,
