The last couple of weeks have been a real challenge for Scott, plenty of problems getting the kart ready and almost no time to practice. Very frustrating!
Grant has been doing his best and loads of people involved in karting here have been helping out with great advise and help. Its so nice that the atmosphere here is really supportive and so encouraging to the newbees.
The end result is what it's all about and Scott did just great. 2nd out of 3 juniors and as the numbers were again low the class was combined with the seniors. Scott and the first place getter were even overtaking a couple of the seniors. Despite the low turnout Scott's times were very fast! The kart was totally reliable and he had no incidents.
Next week is a different meeting at the new Autodrome track and there will be two new Rotax Junior karts present so the class will rise to 5. Still low really but its just starting up here and hopefully it won't take to long to get the numbers up.
I will post a couple of pictures if I can, as you can see this blog looks a little different and I have upgraded to the Blogger Beta which is unfortunately having problems with photo uploading.
I have also taken down the last few photos posted. The size was a bit to big and it was mucking things up a bit.
Let me know if you have any problems with comments etc.
BTW you will notice how different the kart looks now. The new graphics are excellent and Grant added new pods of the latest design.

Getting back to Normal
What a great holiday we had, it was so good to catch up with everyone. We enjoyed every moment of our time in NZ. We have so many great memories and this trip was extra special because we did a lot of traveling around our own great country and, well, its just beautiful.
Our trip back was pretty good, we were lucky to get all the way back considering how full the flights were and that we only had standby tickets!
My body was on NZ time for a few days and I was getting up way to early, I was outside gardening at sunrise (6am) for a few mornings. The neighbours must have thought I was crazy. At least I did something constructive and now the garden looks a lot better. It looks like our favorite palm is going to die, it looks very sick and I'm sure its just the heat getting to it. We were warned it was not the best choice by one gardener but went with the recommendation of the bloke that sold it to us - buyer beware I guess! Still, it that's all we have to worry about then lifes not to bad.
Today we are off to the Mall of the Emirates. Got to get school shoes for the boys, haircuts and a new school bag for Scott. Time to get ourselves organised for the new school year.
I will post some more photos so check back again, thanks for stopping by!
