KRA Race 1 results

This weekend at NCMP we had mixed results.  I was taken out in TAG Heavy 1 Race and ended up with a wounded kart.  TAG Heavy 2 race was a tough one but managed to get 3rd place.  Kart wanted to dive to the right straight off the track due to 1st race incident.  Going to work this week on getting kart fixed and ready to race for this upcoming weekend for KRA race #2.  See you at the track!

Cancelled GoPro Karting Challenge Race 2

Due to some much needed testing and track time at New Castle Motorsports Park, I have decided to cancel my trip to the 2nd round of the Karting Challenge at the GoPro Motorplex.  Looking to capitalize on some good weather here in Indiana.  See you at the track!

3rd Place Podium at GoPro Motorplex

Visited the GoPro Motorplex for the 1st time ever this past weekend.  Started off a little chilly and slow but finally got up to speed and qualified 4th on Saturday and finished 4th in prefinal before being DQ'd for an airbox tube size violation.  Changed out the tubes and started from the rear of the field (9th) for the final.  Kart and motor were working well and I was able to get into 3rd position before the checkered flag fell.  Very happy with the results and loved the new track.  Still feel there is some speed to be gained next time.

 
Thanks to Tyree Racing Family for their support.  Good times!
