J&D Racing Update

This is the first post of the racing season even though racing is well underway.  Both scheduled races in May were lost due to rain, but all three events for June saw good racing weather.  This year J is running the Jr. Outlaw and D is running in the Tiger Sprint A division.  Unfortunately, both karts are not handling well through the turns and the finishing results show this.  J has finishes of 5^th, 10^th and 8^th in the three races we’ve had, while D has finishes of 7^th, 6^th and 10^th.  We’ve made some big changes to the setups for both karts and will continue to move in that direction until we either go too far or hit something that works.

The next race is Monday, 7/11/11 at Stafford Motor Speedway.  For those in the local area, this event is the Family Fun Night – the event with games and prizes on the midway for kids (as well as kart racing).  In the past, this event was held in August before the kids went back to school, but this year it has been moved to July 11^th.   If you want passes for this event, please let me know as soon as you can and I will get some for you.  Passes are only needed for those 13 and over, as usual, 12 and under are free.

After 7/11, the kart racing schedule at Stafford Motor Speedway is as follows:

July 18 & 25 (Karting for Cancer)
August 8, 15, 22 & 29
September 11 (Sunday)

God Bless and hope to see you at the track.
