First of all thanks to everyone that turned up today be it as a racer or just showing your support

was a top day a good laugh all round i think that everyone that went probably had the same amount of expience on the track as it was more like a skid pan than a karting track which made it more of a drift race than a kart race
Northern modified put a team of six drivers together made up of:
 
Damo

Ross H
Nat
Postman Matt
Row (Kenzie)
and Rick (Starbo)


They were all given a sponsorship form to get donations for the event which all donations were all going to Pendle Hospice which is a local hospice to the Burnley area. The team managed to collect £308.10p which included the money rasied in the tin passed round at last months monthly meet (thanks to nessa and laura for collecting that)

The race took place at Prestige Karting Colne and consisted of 9 teams made up of 6 drivers each battling it out to win a 3 hour endurance race. The teams were mostly made up of ex raly drivers, current rally drivers, karting champions and various people from the local motor sport world which did give the NM team a slight disadvantage (at a guess as i'm guessing how fast you can get round the Bacup back roads doesn't count as race experience) the team managed to get a finishing place of 6th which was good to say we was the only team without at least one professional race driver in there team. Saying that the track was a very bad condition so anyone with previous experience of a karting track was very tested as the track was greasy/wet and made it more of a "Drift" event than a race
