Aymane Yacine Takes Gold at Buckmore Park Rookie Race

Is it a bird? Is it a fish? No, it’s both, it’s Jay Rudd powering kart 18 to a win in heat two, an 11-16 race, where he too had the benefit of a front row start. Right on his tailfin came talented new driver Aymane Yacine who wasn’t going to let a little thing like starting from tenth bother him. Thomas Goodwin took a Goodthird after making two gains during the race. Sam Beninigsen repeated the start fourth, stay fourth pioneered in heat one but Reiss Leconte made large gains coming up from eleventh to fifth.
Crow Perch repeated his earlier win in heat two but this time he did it under a pseudonym. It was like BBC Gold (I guess as I don’t have a TV), all repeats as Aymane Yacine again secured second by throwing a rope round its neck and dragging it to the ground. Knowing my fondness for alliteration Matt Meekings gained three places to take third and Reiss Leconte earned another plug for his sponsor (www.hotwheelzuk.com) when he moved up to fourth which left Matthew Dryden the honour of ending this sentence as he took fifth.
Refreshed after their short break we wheeled out the old codgers for their remaining heat where Aymane Yacine kept his name in the frame by taking a sound win after a midfield start. Sam Bennigsen had a good run too, making three gains to finish a close second. Yet again Thomas Goodwin spoiled the joke (really?) by coming third. Up to fourth from eighth and a first mention in this report came John Frith-Haines a sort of Frith of Fourth. It must be easy to Conner Burdett, about as easy as conning a little old lady I guess but young Connor was more interested in racing and to prove it he came fifth and squeezed into this paragraph nicely.
We then ran the trophy bearing A final for the 11-16’s where we watched Aymane Yacine sail to victory by over six seconds over a delighted Sam Bennigsen who drove a fine race. John Frith-Haines pipped Matthew Meekings to the line but to be fair Matt was pretty occupied defending his position from a determined attack by Jay Rudd. A similarly close battle was raging for sixth and after ten laps the victor here was Connor Burdett who crossed half a second clear of Reiss Leconte with Thomas Goodwin securing eighth a moment later. Daniel Love led Matt Dryden, Jeremy Parker and Henry Proto home.
