NATSKA Round 3 Clay pigeon Class 15 Junior Rotax 15th OCT 2022
And Harry takes the chequered flag in 11th Place. This weekend was NATSKA Round 3 at Clay pigeon racetrack Dorchester. The weather was a mixture all day of rain, cloud and sunshine which kept everyone guessing by the hour of which tyres to go onto. wets or slicks. This was Harry’s 3rd race as novice starting from the back of the grid. He did not get off to a great start, with a massive grid of 28 drivers.
Heat 1. Harry did not complete the first lap after 2 rolling laps, he came to a stuttering stop halfway round the track meaning he had to retire with a DNF for the first Heat with an oiled-up spark plug.
Heat 2. Harry started off great and continued to finish 13th out of 28 drivers getting fastest lap. The race was Red flagged halfway round as the heavens opened with rain making the race too dangerous to continue with everyone on slicks.
Heat 3. Harry took to the track for the first time on wet tyres in Rotax and saw him climb up to 10th Place from the back with batten burg flags in the heat slowing things down due to crashes.
Heat 4. The weather changed in the middle of the race, with everyone starting on slicks but from the back Harry managed to finish the race in 9th Place as the rain started again, everyone sliding all over the place with the batten burg flags came out again. Another great result at NATSKA Clay pigeon.
