Brandon's Karting Birthday Party

I know it's a couple of weeks after his birthday but today Brandon had his Karting Birthday party at the Basildon indoor karting track. As his birthday is right in the middle of winter the indoor tracks are a much safer bet as you can never guarantee reasonable weather in Jan/Feb to race outdoors.

There was six boys in total including Joshua and Brandon. The other lads were Ethan, Tom, Riley and Brett. Ethan was the star driver of the day winning two of the three races. Brett was a rebel who got black flagged for constantly crashing the other karts, and Riley was the most disappointing as he took a shunt in race one and lost all confidence. I talked him in to trying race 2 but by race 3 he had given up. This was really annoying as the karting isn't cheap so to have something not go out on the track is frustrating to say the least. Even more so when you think I could have taken that place and raced with my boys!!

Anyway Brandon enjoyed himself and after the driving they all got to sit down and enjoy some pizza for lunch.

From L-R Ethan, Tom, Josh, Brandon, Brett and Riley.

Joshua had his best race in Race 1.

Brandon was consistant and switching places with his brother throughout the races.

Brandon and his race mates chilling between rounds.

Lined up and ready for the final race.

Another race done.

And top podium spot goes to Ethan and the Birthday boy.

The final leaderboard for the day saw Brandon 5th and Joshua a very close 6th.
