Azuma time will tell but I think there must be plenty of venues with big grassy hills and dirt tracks where head to head racing would be both testing and great fun. A cross country cartie challenge where speeds would be lower than Cairngorm but just a challenging from a drivers perspective.

You don't need practice at off-roading do you Andy, it all come so naturally? That's me loaded up ready for Cumbria and looking forward to testing out the new setup especially the seat.

Just had Charlie Jackson's cartie upto the public park for testing for tomorrow. It's fast and we just can't get it to skid out, well grippy. Can't believe how much grip Kojaks have on wet grass.

Kojaks on grass Pity they wont make the minimum tyre width regs Tyres have to be at least 50mm wide ;D And the last time Charlie tried Kojaks he could get one of his fag papers under the cart See you in the morning - bring your wets though - it looks like its not gonna be dry at all tomorrow

I was genuinely surprised to win, given the quality of the entries. I guess it just shows the importance of having the right tool for the job!
I shall be hoping for similar conditions for the finals... :-)
