Day 3 at La Conca - Macken Team Australia

Team Macken in Italy

Well today was the day to finally get the boys on the track for the first time, very exciting indeed.

All the set up is done it is just a matter of getting out there and letting the drivers do their thing.

There are 70 drivers in Junior Max class vying for 34 positions in the Prefinal and Final on Sunday, so practise is split into two groups of odds and evens and the first practise was fairly wild!

James first session went well and to plan and he is on the pace and stayed out of trouble, he loves the track and likes the kart. Unfortunately we had a carbie problem in the second session which slowed our progress but we have a plan of attack that will have us on target for practise tomorrow plus tomorrow is the big day with the one and only Qualifying session Thursday afternoon.

We have an early start with transponders (track/lap timers) being issued at 8am in the morning and live lap timing starts tomorrow and can be followed at the Rotax Max Challenge website http://www.maxchallenge-rotax.com/event2010/grand_final.html

Thats it untill our next update keep your fingers crossed for James.

Ciao Ciao
