Ready to race

 

A chance call to Dartford Karting (south east Tony Kart distributor) led to a bizarre coincidence. Asking if they had any second hand Tony Kart Venox chassis' they replied no but they had a customer who had one. Strangely it turned out to be Tim Drysdale, a chap Toby had met in Cannes in a bar after a conference. His son Harry drives in Minimax and was getting a new chassis for 2004. A few minutes later the chassis was bought (unseen!) and an arrangement to get it delivered kindly thrown in too. Thanks Tim!

jFirst impressions were that it would be perfect and second impressions were that it was far to good for us and we'd somehow manage to make it look a mess by the end of the first race.

So, kart 24 is no more having been stripped to provide a complete spares package for kart 78 (an identical Tony kart Extreme). The engine from 78 has gone onto the new Venox as it was a known quantity having performed well in the last meetings and kart 78 fitted with the best of the rest of the parts.

The Venox is now ready to go and will hopefully make its debut at Rye House next week. Fingers Crossed!
