My first Sprint Gold Cup! I was running with the Medium group, as the Heavys were running on Sunday. With all the weights and starter removed, my kart and I were tipping the scales at 380, which is 10 lbs. light for the Heavy group, but was 15 lbs overweight for the Medium group.

Race 2: IKF Region 6 Road Race Gold Cup (PIR) - Race Report May 17, 2008

My first race of the season, and my first road race! Woke up at 5 in the morning to go over my checklist, wake up the kids and take off for the track. Got to the track at 6:30a.m, hoping that the concession stand had breakfast. Turns out that the concession stand wasn't open all day.

Plans For Next Season - Karting Blog Nov 29, 2007

Plans for next season: I would like to enter at least 5 races for the 2008 racing season. Without seeing the 2008 schedules yet, and funds allowing, I would like to enter the following events:

  • Two road races, most likely PIR
  • Two Gold Cup/regional races: McMinnville and Pats Acres
  • McMinnville night race.
Race 1: Night Race - Race Report Aug 18, 2007
Entered my first race today. This was the 2nd annual night race at the Mac Track. The heat race was in the afternoon. Did really well. Due to my newbie status, I had to start last, which I was perfectly OK with. I had passed two drivers because of a spin at the first corner, and made a pass for position on the back straight, after a couple of attempts on previous laps. Finished an estimated 6th place out of 9 contenders.

Mac Practice - Karting Blog Jul 21, 2007

Went to the Mac Track for my 6th practice session. Prior to this session, I had removed the head off of my engine and sent it to CMC to put an insert and get a new header bolt to replace the one that had fallen out during my last session. I removed the head this time instead of sending the entire engine, so I would avoid paying the charge to have Don do it.
