DAYTONA MILTON KEYNES HOSTS EPIC ‘BILLYWHIZZ’ QMC FUNDRAISER KART RACE
- Billy Monger and motorsport friends turn out for mega kart fundraiser
- £7000 and counting raised for QMC Helipad Appeal
- 19 teams take it to the max at Buckinghamshire’s top kart track
Following his horrific accident at Donington Park in April, Billy was airlifted to the East Midlands Major Trauma Centre at Queens Medical Centre
Last Monday’s one-and-a-half-hour endurance at Daytona’s flagship Milton Keynes venue, saw a heart-warmng show of support from the motorsport community as well as terrific racing right from the outset with all 57 drivers vying for victory. When the chequered flag fell on the flat-out, closely fought race, it was ‘Virtus Motorsport who took the honours, followed by ‘Two Fatboys’ in second and ‘Team Infinity’ in third.
Billy Monger says , “Monday night at Daytona is really what the racing community is all about by showing support for good cause that needs our help.
“The event was fantastic and thanks so much to Alice (Powell) for organising. It was great fun to watch some of the best talent throughout different realms of motorsport thrashing it out over an hour and 30 minutes – it was incredible. The racing was some of the finest I’ve ever seen and the atmosphere was surreal! My only disappointment was that I couldn’t be racing myself.
“I’d like to thank everone that came and especially my surgeon and his team for turning up and having a go despite the fact they’d never been karting before! Next year, we are going to have special awards for newcomers and bandits – any suggestions welcomed and accepted!”
