With an unpredictable weather forecast for this morning I really was in two minds whether to pull up the duvet or venture out to the Sporting Trails event at Whiteman’s Mountain. In the end the draw to watch and take photos at a motor event won out. When Brian Carey and myself arrived up at …
Dropped in to Nutts Corner, after an early morning visit to the Airport, to catch a karting practice session. Not the ideal day for photography, very poor light and fine rain on and off, but still pretty happy with the results. It was nice to see a big turn out from the one of the …

After a quick chat with David Gibson the Clerk of the Course, he directed us off towards Section 1. While he tactfully indicated that the course was quite spread out …

While the ground was wet and slippery it didn’t hinder the drivers as they ripped up the course at Carryduff Building Supplies yard. There was 40+ cars competing …

While I’m not fully familiar with the format, there was a full entry with …

Everything ran like clockwork and provided a truly memorable night for all, thanks to …
A very eventful days racing at Nutts Corner today and not as many photographs taken as usual. We hope that all who were injured have a speedy and full recover and out racing again soon. It was not really the way the 125 Superkarts guys would have hoped the season would have ended, but a …
I managed to make it up to Nutts Corner yesterday morning to catch the first few sessions of racing. The morning started very wet, but the racing was as tight as ever, with no one letting up. While all categories were very close the 125 Superkart’s proved to provide some of the closest racing with …
