5 Hunts Kart Racing Club History Kimbolton Airfield was the home of the 9th Bomb Group during WW. The 9th Bomb Group flew B-s and the group was signified by the letter K within a triangle on its tail. During all of its 0 bombing missions, it dropped 6,60 tons of bombs, shot down enemy aircraft and lost of its B-s to enemy action. The 9th Bomb Group was the only unit ever awarded the 8th Air Force Grand Slam, a very unique honour in recognition of its achievements. They also received two Presidential Unit Citations. The Group flew its last combat mission on April, 9 and was finally deactivated on July, 9. The airfield at Kimbolton was originally a fighter base for the RAF. When it became evident Germany was not going to invade England, the RAF decided it didn t need many inland fighter bases and was happy to lease most of them to the United States as airfields for heavy bombers. The runways and perimeter ramps were too thin to accommodate the weight of the Flying Fortresses and Liberators, so the runways were repaired and replaced to meet necessary specifications. Kimbolton or the Hunts Kart Racing Club (H.K.R.C.), as it is otherwise known is laid out on one of the few existing parts of the airfield. It was was founded in 99 by a group of karters who wanted somewhere to race their recently acquired outfits. The club s landlord was one of these karters. The original circuit was laid out direct on the concrete dispersal area. Many parts of this can still be seen today around the track and paddock. If you look very carefully, inscriptions from the Americans who strengthened the airfield for the B-s can still be seen. As the years went by, various changes and improvements were made to this circuit and during the late sixties and early seventies Kimbolton was the largest karting circuit in East Anglia and was a very popular circuit even then. In 990 the circuit was extended to its present format. The extension occupied what was the landlord s airstrip. In 99 the original race control was replaced with our current building. In 999 we had a new dual dummy grid, which enabled us to minimise delays between races. In 00 we have hard surfaced and extended the pit bay area. 008 is when the Club started to invest in many improvements across the site with the resurfacing of the track and has not looked back with the continued work being carried out of continuous improvement & upgrading.

The folder is information & articles found purely on the internet, and many many hours havebeen spent trying to find as much as possible about the 9th BG. Please feel free to browsethrough it. As well as the articles, there are also items that have been found around the circuit and surroundingarea, such as bullets, a bomb shackle and cockpit instruments.
