Karting: New Course Layout (16.8.09)

August19

TTKA (Trinidad and Tobago’s Karting Association) hosted their 6th race meet today, also with a brand new course layout. It made for a lot of action and high speed… and with the bursts of little rain showers, made the course very slippery. As the racers bolted on their ‘dry weather’  tires and mashed the ‘X’ rain fell, which messed up their tyre choice. A few racers had a little mishap, slamming into the plastic barriers.. but nothing serious ladies and gentlemen, as this is quite normal in the karting world. As a photographer you just need to be on the lookout, as they can shatter your kneecaps and break your ankles if they come into contact with you. (Yikes!)
