The Blokart racing on Saturday afternoon was a lot of fun and great to see a good number of karts and people turn up.
I have attached a set of results for the races. These may need some explaining, as I have used the same scoring system that is used for sailing races. I have added some notes below the table to try and explain the points. For races that a kart did not contest/start it scored 15 points, this is based on 14 karts that raced during the afternoon plus 1.
