Jeff just take it as boost! Unless he's indicating that he wants more boost!

[@BenPaines]

Everyone loves a little speed boost 😏

[@HarryWills-n3x]

Great racing! Makes me want to give outdoor karting a go, even though I think I would be terrible as I have only just got a slight grasp on indoor 😂, thought you did great! Your overtakes are so good! Great video Ben, looking forward to the next one.

[@BenPaines]

You should 100% give it a go. Indoors is fun but outdoors makes you want to push the indoor stuff to the side. I couldn’t recommend it enough, especially on the bigger tracks across the UK! I appreciate the kind words and like yourself, I can’t wait to get out there for the next one too 🤌🏾

Qauilty vid Ben , great race in the C final ❤️

[@BenPaines]

Thank you Kobie, you smashed it in that last race 🔥

[@WayneHall-k5l]

Great effort mate and footage as ever 👌Brighton calling next let’s hope the karts are better 🙄😉👊🏻

[@BenPaines]

Cheers Wayne I appreciate it as always mate 🫶🏾 Can’t wait for Brighton, such a fun track and I’m sure they’ll be a little better 😉

[@WayneHall-k5l]

🙏🤪

[@TheJelf10]

Well done Ben. I kept trying to tell Haegan to go as we could have broken away but instead he defended and made my life difficult 😅

[@BenPaines]

Thank you Jeff, I was so confused when I came up behind but you guys should be happy taking the 1-2 in that heat. Congrats to you too Jeff, you had a solid result and I’m sure that’s your best one in SRK so far? 👀👏🏾

[@TheJelf10]

@@BenPaines yeah that was my best so was happy with that but I wish my poor 2nd heat I had kept the 7th as that would have gave me 42 points and I would have been in the c final or maybe bottom of b if it wasn't for the slow kart. But that's how it goes and there are always 'what ifs' I just hope I can keep finishing with similar results and atleast improve on last years results ✊🏻

[@BenPaines]

With that 7th you would’ve been ahead of me 100%, think everyone had a tough time in the 2nd heat. It shows good potential for the next one and I’m sure you’ll be pushing to beat Peyton this year 😎 “What Ifs” are great, if I managed to keep 5th in that 2nd heat as well then I would’ve seen myself at the back of the A Final/front of the B Final. But plenty of positives to take away and looking forward to Brighton 💪🏾

[@TheJelf10]

@@BenPaines always trying to beat Payton 🤣 but doesn't happen very often 😭 Can't wait for Brighton I enjoyed that last year ✊🏻

[@BenPaines]

I’m sure you’ll get him soon enough 🤪 And I did too, glad that we’re not straight off to Hereford to get slammed by the Welsh 😭

[@Nicks_karting]

some great racing there ben!🙌 if you are racing at Herefordshire raceway this year I might see you there as I'm planning to sign up for it!

[@BenPaines]

Thank you very much, happy to see some progress compared to last year 😂 I’ll be at Hereford so I look forward to seeing you there!

[@CrazySkindogKarting]

Good effort man, top 20 is always good in SRK. You'll be in SRK 1 by the end of the season I'm sure, you've got the pace 👌Cheers for the positions you helped me gain in heat 2 😆 See you at Brighton!

[@BenPaines]

Cheers Sam, really happy with the result considering I’ve only been here twice and the quality of the field - looking forward to the rest of this season to see where I end up 😇 Always happy to help out too, looked like I was fully carving you a path from your footage 😅 Always great to see you mate :)

[@CMRacing7]

These videos are sick, some effort mate!

[@BenPaines]

Thank you so much Colin, I’m glad you enjoyed it! Looking to take the next steps this year I hope…

[@Liam2certii]

That looks sick

[@BenPaines]

It was an interesting day for sure, don’t really know what to make of the track. Fun to try and set lap times but horrible for racing…

[@Liam2certii]

Yeah it looks to tight in some areas

[@BenPaines]

If someone defends at this track even slightly then it becomes a long day 😂

[@samgaskellracing]

pen baines the goat

[@BenPaines]

Thank you Sam! 🙌🏾

[@Oskar.M]

Shame it wasn't dry for the juniors

[@BenPaines]

I know, it’s a nightmare in the wet, as I found out last year… Actually felt so much better in the dry! 🤩

[@Oskar.M]

@@BenPaines By the way, how do you get your lap times for the timing? Do you us the timer in the top right corner or do you get them some other way?

[@BenPaines]

For tracks where I don’t know the times, like in this video, I do it based on the timer in the top right.
