Sam wanted to go karting for his 10th birthday so off we went Sam, Ben, Shaye and Max we were a bit worried that Ben wouldnt be tall enough but with a lot of padding he could just reach the pedal although he had moved in the seat to reach the pedal that he couldnt reach the break but he didnt care and so they suited up and got in the cars Bens smile was from ear to ear and he was so excited Sam was sitting in his car looking very serious as he does and off they go after very stern instructions from the officials. Ben took off like a pro and looked like he had been driving for years the other three were very cautious and driving very slowly. Lots of laughs and lots of noise the other three picked up the speed after a few laps but Ben never gave up he was over taking them and fishtailing out of the corners especially when they put water on the track he had a ball and in great Boote racing tradition Ben slammed into the back of Sam on the last corner I guess thats what ya get when ya cant get past and the one in front is going to slow for your pace Bens smile was priceless Sams face was priceless too but it was not a smile by any stetch of the imagination. Anyway the racing over and who gets the fastest lap yep the 6 year old he was racing two 10 year olds and one 11 year old and he beat them by over 2 seconds a very happy boy.

Ben suited up and nearly ready to go
