Teyjat, a quiet town in Nontron that was awakened by the sound of the speeding adrenaline. It was a wet Sunday morning where the 4th Race of Trophy Kart Sud-Ouest was held.
It wasn't a smooth day for Alvis. First, he had to struggle with the slippery track and second, his mechanic Daddy (me) had a difficult time setting up his kart for a wet track. Thanks to both Chay and Simon's 'mechanics' for the advice given. Alvis secured 5th position during chrono laps. He started well and was 4th position before the first turn. Just on the second lap, he was 'touched" on the rear and skidded out. He was unable to bring his kart back to the track and that prematurely ended his qualification race.
Alvis started the prefinal from the last position on the grid and fought his way through to finish eighth. During the final, there were some 'touching' between the fore runners and Alvis luckily finished 3rd with a close fight with the fore runners.
Alvis loved the track so much that he wanted to go back again for more even he did not win the race. His passion for racing includes conquering every new track even on a non racing day.
A little promise to his Mummy for a Mother's day present nearly gone empty-handed. With his determination and luck, Alvis kept his promise and presented a small trophy to his Mummy as a present.
