National Kartsport Championship from Manawatu in NZ. Overnigfht rain left the track a little green for the first few practice sessions but the track soon rubbered in and the lap records started to fall during the heats.
The track favours the morning sunlight. By the early afternoon onwards there are few spots with half decent backgrounds that don't require shooting in to the sun.
1. Reasonable shot of Niki Urwin (42) but what is Phil Hicks (7) so interested in? Whjat he is looking at is a field with half a dozen horse in it

4. It's bad enough when you tap your team mate in to a spin, but launching yourself over the curbs in a direct attack ....

5 . Following on with "Klippe's Criteria" for a shot from Manfeild
- cars (well Karts) going in as many different directions as possible
- some grass must make it into the shot
- some crowd must be visible in the shot (Failed but I did get a cone)
- some sky must be visible in the shot (oops
)- must convey some motion too
I thought I'd have a go .... (2.5 out of 5 hummmmm)
