The One where I flipped the Kart - Clay Pigeon IKR Spring series, round 2

Image
Today was my second Karting race. Qualifiying:qualified 14 out of 16. Heat 1:big crash at the first corner where kart 45 [the kart ahead of me] spun and ended up hitting into me. I then fell out of the kart at around 20mph rolling to the barrier along with the kart that also ended up doing gymnastics and falling onto me - I WAS STUCK!!!!! A few seconds later kart 45 [who had caused the crash] got out of his kart to come and help me out from under the kart. Almost immediatly after the contact the red flag was raised and the race was restarted. Lucky for me I landed on grass and only came out with minor injures and somehow managed to make the restart. Unfortunately for my kart it got a bent rear axel which meant that for the rest of the day I had to race with a damaged kart. After that the restart happened and we were racing again. That heat I ended up coming 12 out of 16 meaning I would be starting 12 on the grid for the pre-final.  Pre-final: In the pre final nothing much changed
