2013 Commercial Point Karting Classic - The Videos
The pictures are on Facebook, but the on-board videos are on YouTube. First, in practice right out of the trailer, Peter backs it into the wall in front of a barrel full of water and destroys his rear axle in the process (see video here). Next, after qualifying fourth on Saturday with a misfiring engine, Conor battles his way to the front to take the 80cc Shifter Kart feature race win on Sunday (video here). Peter's qualifying race finish on Saturday earned him the second starting position for the Spec 100 Pipe class feature race on Sunday. He got a good start and ran in second until a red flag for a first turn pile-up on Lap 2 brought everything to a halt (video here). He went on to lead the first third of the race after the restart, dropped to third, and then recovered to finish second. Unfortunately, he forgot to restart the camera after the red flag, so the video is only the first lap and a half. In both of Peter's videos, the camera is pointing backwards, which is a very interesting perspective. He also forgot to start the camera for his pro race, in which he started second, pressured the leader early, and finished a comfortable second. Starting on pole for his pro race, Conor made a great start, began pulling away in the lead, then hit a bump in Turn 3 which caused his seat to flex so much that the wire from the ignition box mounted on his seat became unplugged from his coil. He coasted to a stop (video here). A full race report will follow in the near future.
