My son is doing cadets at Coventry, I'm racing in Birmingham now for member races

I'm at Bristol and have been visiting Leicester often with a recent treck on the way home to Coventry. Harrison Earle and Ben Paines did sneak up to Birmingham recently. "Who was Michael in your Film crew video"?

Haven't seen the guy since tbf

82kg, fastest lap is 40.3

@@paulclegg8642 im 6'4 around 85kg i think i raced with you the start of this month 6th, may have been someone else 🤷🏽‍♂️😂

@@Jayyjager was it on a Thursday night, how did you get on

@@paulclegg8642 it was a Saturday. I was 2nd in the session, 1st got at 41 something and i got a 43

@@Jayyjager was someone else buddy I don't race in public sessions anymore, I only race in members races. 41 in you 1st session is a good time buddy congrats

Just solo buddy

I use a chin mount for the camera, using a hero 8

Best tip is just pratice and sign up for the membership and do members races, you will learn lots from racing members and you lap time will soon be at a good pace

I know its a blind corner and the kart is unsettled going under the bridge, if someone is there you have very little chance to avoid. Very fun track

Thanks buddy glad you found it useful 👍 how did you get on with the BIKC and what's your local

@@paulclegg8642 I’m from Trafford, we spoke after the 45 minute race you did recently I was pleased with how I raced. I didn’t drop a place all night and I finished higher than where I started in every run. But I didn’t fair well in the random start slots. We ran 2 groups of 6. I started my heats in 3rd 4th and 5th. Logic tells you everyone should get a start from P1or2 , 3or4 and then 5or6. But they didn’t seem to work that out! 😂 I got a 2nd, 3rd and 4th, which somehow put me 8th on the grid in the final, we didn’t do A&B, we just had one final. Anyway I finished 4th on track but got a penalty for contact and ended up 5th. I can’t even dispute it as I’ve no memory of it! 😂

@@paulclegg8642 how did you go at Trafford in your final?

@@RBravo82 arr yes I remember you, only six drivers per group thats a shame. Cov can be difficult to overtake and with the short races it makes the importance of it more. So much grip upstairs at coventry it's my favourite part too. Too bad about the grid slots too buddy it's happened to a few people including myself what ever they us to select it dont work s it's not rocket science lol. Hope you have another pop next year mate

@@paulclegg8642 yeah mate, I’ll be back, I love it!….Going back outdoors next year too. I fancy a long race down at yours so I’ll see there in future I’m sure, take it easy 👍🏻

Thanks buddy I'm coming to Birmingham again soon, I will give you a shout 😀

Same happened to me on the Regionals too in the final race 🏁. Video will be up in two weeks got a formula Ford vid for next week

@@paulclegg8642 the staff arent as good at trafford as they are at cov 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Cus he’s setting a qualifying lap time

@@ASeSkater yeah nvm I just seen where the finish line is

Yea just snatch that line on a fast lap its worth a tenth maybe too depends how brave you are on the breaks lol 😆

Thanks... that's the best compliment I have had, Im glad you appreciate my efforts. 💙

I know buddy I have a strange way of holing the wheel its a bad habit I just can not break. Would it be aloud if I duck tape my hands to the wheel... just for a few races lol 😆

Lol it was frustrating, but I put myself in that position. I try see a way I could have avoided a mistake rather than pointing the finger at others. I can only control me...... well After a few minutes when the dust has settled 😂

Thanks buddy, got the Regionals coming soon

@@paulclegg8642 good luck then mate

The gap just opened up, so I thought I will see how far I can without smashing into some. Worked out pretty well too

Thanks buddy, the locals was definitely a tough race

I'm in the 34s on my first visit, very different grip level compared to coventry

I went Saturday for the first time and managed a 33.9 and like you say im used to Nottingham which is a slippery track and its nice to have some grip, also with it being a public session was full of idiots and constant flags, tracks too small for 16 karts imo as always catching a group and being held up but hopefully some more time to knock off with decent drivers on track

Sound good buddy, what weight category are you in, coventry has ridiculous grip

Im in lightweight mate, iv only ever done Nottingham, Leicester, Sheffield and now trafford but sheff tops them all so far, ill have to give coventry ago

Excellent work and congratulations, I thinking of popping into the track on your Bikc races to Spectate

Yes buddy that was us, how did you get on

@@paulclegg8642 i did decent , there was the small guy in yellow overalls who got the day record with a 40.7 , turns out hes the uks 6th best in the indoor karting championship and he was there to practice for a race this weekend lol, and other than that i kept getting a solid 46 , and on the 3rd round i tried a different like that got me down by 2 seconds which was pretty cool , im gonna go again tomorrow and my goal is 43-42 seconds

That's awesome buddy, all you need is practice to be good 👍

Thanks buddy, I do appreciate the support 🙏 👍

Yes this was the 75kg to 90kg class

Lol I was on a high, congratulations on getting through too. See you in Manchester

Cheers mate, was a tough one 👍

Thanks buddy, the Regionals are in Manchester, I have been up there practicing on members nights in preparation, my experience from last years saying its very hard to get to the national finals but I'm doing all I can to get there so fingers crossed 🤞

All the action was behind me, seriously need another gopro lol, very fun race

That's buddy, I do try to be clean but sometimes you just gotta do it and try. It's a fine balancing act making a decision in a split second. Glad you enjoyed it buddy 👍 😀

You must wast the other view, I definitely need a new gopro for the rear. It's linked in comments

You took it like champ man, respect.. I had no answer on track we were going the same pace.

Was a good one, congratulations on the win you smashed it 👏

@@paulclegg8642 thank you 😊 🏁

Thanks man, bikc is on next week, avg lap 41.6 🙌 avg over 15min of racing 🤯

Thanks man, appreciate it 🙏
