Kids on karts

· 233 words · 2 minute read

To Bira circuit where I heard there was kart racing. Indeed there was, but most of the drivers were less than ten years old.

It’s was a round of the junior kart championship; but just because the drivers are kids, it doesn’t mean that there was a lack of commitment. Indeed in the first race, a young lady ended up in the barriers. Amazingly, the race wasn’t stopped and, perhaps less amazingly, the resident ambulance took almost ten minutes to pick her up. She who must be obeyed rang the hospital this evening to learn she had been discharged, which was good news.

Three races with kids on board and I took a lot of shots, most of which I have deleted and a few are shown below:

I like the track reflection in this one:

The last race was for “35 up/VIPs”:

The young winners were interviewed for TV; could be future GP stars, except Thailand lacks the racing series for youngsters to develop from karts.
