The karts were brought together on a rainy Sunday morning to be inspected and given race numbers.  Not all the karts could be there as some are still being made!

But there was an interesting collection including a battle tank, complete with rotating turret and water cannon!  (Unfortunately the paint was not waterproof and so it had to leave before the pictures were taken.

A new Citroen 2 seater!

Country Stoves have gone for some funky suspension and a rather fetching jet engine!

Cool Running returns with the 6 wheel -4 man bob!

It would appear that there is an entry from Bently Motorcars!

This year a Bugatti has been entered as well.

The new flower shop in Cookham  Fleure de la maison is entering a flower powered go-kart.

The coffin returns from the grave.  Although they are still building this one…

Now we have a 3 wheeled 4 person bike.  This will be fun to watch as it tries to corner at speed.

Last years winner the Air Ambulance racing team…  That is a rotor blade on the roof!

Now the Jolly Farmer Public House have entered the race with a piece of the bar!

Unfortunately it has to be returned before opening time!

Last year Curly Carver the local National Trust warden entered a replica of his Land Rover.  This year he has a lady bird (but it could not come out in the rain)   This is the second entry from the National Trust, which I hope makes it to the finish.

And the last of the carts entered for inspection.  A modified wheel chair.  I hope that they are going to be wearing some protective clothing!  The new road surface is quite hard on the knees.

Good luck to all entrants.  Also please support us by giving a little at www.justgiving.com/porteurandmike
