GGary was
introduced to endurance karting by the 'Guvnor' in the summer of 1998 during a
corporate karting event at Daytona Milton Keynes. After equipping himself well
he was invited to join the Guvnor's 'Javelin Racing Team #40' to contest the
Daytona ProKart Endurance Series. In 1999 we finished a credible 3rd in the
Clubman Championship. We decided to compete in the British Endurance Kart
Championship for 2001. After an enjoyable foray with the big boys & all the
travelling around the country we decided to go back to our roots for 2002 with
the Daytona Championship, but to also compete in the prestigious Le Mans 24hr
ProKart race. A fantastic 2nd in class followed so we knew that we would have
to go back in 2003 to try & move up that extra place. Alas even though we
completed more laps we were pipped yet again & had to settle for 2nd. 'One
Day!"
Having had the ProMax since 2002 but struggling
to find time to race it, we had to decide which direction to place our energies
behind for 2004. After a couple of test sessions and guest appearances at the
Daytona Open races we were all hooked. ProMaxing it is then.
Gary's main duties are tyre preparation (guess
work to those in the know!) & helping the Guvnor set up the kart before
every race. |
