| March 2010 Race Report |
|
75 drivers gathered at the South West’s premier circuit at Dunkeswell to contest Round 2 of the Club Championship. The weather, as usual, was going to have a major influence in the proceedings and whilst Saturdays practice was overcast but dry, the forecast for Sunday was Malaysian style deluges! However, Dunkeswells unique micro climate saw race day dawning dull but dry but that didn’t stop mechanics checking that the wet tyres were in easy reach! In use for the first time and new to many of the drivers, were the tramlines for fairer race starts. At the driver briefing clear guidance was given regarding their use as well as the enforcement of dry clutches with the Clerk of the Course promising severe penalties on offer for transgressors. |

| February 2010 Race Report |
|
Drivers from across the whole of the West Country braved the inclement February weather that settled over Devon’s premier race circuit to contest the opening round of the 2010 karting season. With Saturday practice run mostly in the wet with occasional hail shower, there was not much to be gained in set ups. Sunday was meant to be much of the same but in true Dunkeswell style the weather at the circuit was nothing like the forecast had predicted which caused problems as the track dried out a slow rate. In addition to the usual classes raced at the circuit there was a welcome return of the Junior Blue and TKM classes after being AWOL for a few seasons. |
