STOXKARTS RD 10 Scunthorpe & RD 11 Buxton
Saturday saw Riley head to his first-ever shale meeting at a scorching hot Scunthorpe. A little nervous going into the opening race — having never raced on shale before — he quickly settled in, and was soon flying around the track. He came off covered in shale with a big smile on his face. Heat 2 and the final followed a similar pattern, though the track wasn’t watered and became dusty. He brought home solid points with another 8th and a 10th in the final.
A good, strong performance.
Sunday was another hot one, this time at Buxton, and it turned out to be a tough day. As Riley gains more experience and speed, he’s finding himself in more on-track battles with fellow drivers. The argy-bargy is now his next big learning curve.
Race 1 was steady, claiming the last points spot in 10th. Race 2 saw him end up facing the wrong way in a mid-pack scrap for positions. Trying to recover, he pushed a little too hard, spun out and got stuck on the infield banking — DNF. In the final we had everything crossed for a strong finish, but it wasn’t to be. A clash with another driver knocked the chain off and ended any chance of another points finish.
Now time to reset as up next is Skegness for a triple-header over the bank holiday.

Stoxkarts Rounds 8 & 9 – Buxton
As is typical for Buxton, we battled all four seasons in one weekend.
Riley had is first experience of driving in the rain, complete with some sideways action and a few spins. Nevertheless he leant a lot to carry forward into the season.
Throughout the weekend Riley’s driving continued to get smoother and more consistent, allowing him to carry more momentum and steadily increase his speed.
This rewarded him with a new personal fastest lap time for the circuit.
He also managed to score points in 5 out of 6 races, finishing with a solid 31 points for the weekend, and a new best finishing position of 6th.
Saturday
• Heat 1: 8th
• Heat 2: 10th
• Final: 8th
Sunday
• Heat 1: 6th
• Heat 2: DNF
• Final: 8th
These results now see him sitting mid table in the overall championship.
Well Done Riley - another strong weekend.
