We�re far from local to Hooton, so only did one round (my son in junior 2-stroke). But on that basis I would echo all the praise going for the IndiKart racing there: family atmosphere, relaxed, friendly, clean, fair and fun racing - nothing short of excellent. Where there were (very) minor �incidents�, the parents encouraged their youngsters to approach the one on the receiving end and apologise to them. Not that such encouragement was needed; the �kids� seemed to have a well-developed sense of fair play. If that�s not the perfect model for the way forward in (club-level) karting, I cannot imagine what is: racing for enjoyment only rather than to chase some forlorn dream to emulate Lewis Hamilton.
NB: The IndiKart series at Hooton is not limited to 2-stroke � it also has good 4-stroke grids.
