Demonicbird00 · 08-01-2011, 09:03 PM

for Round 4 of the WKA National Road Race Series presented by Mazda

Running the North Course.

went down to watch and help out my dad. had the GoPro but it was 100+ degrees all three days so i didnt get it hooked up.

races went well, had 2 red flags. the first on saturday, guy and kart went end over end a few times and had to be helivac'ed to the hospital, last i heard hes stable and doing good

i ended up racing my buddy Bens kart on saturday... (*side note* when you put new tires on the front and leave the old ones on the back...its VERY LOOSE) started last (11th place) and on the first lap i was in 2nd. on the third lap i spun in turn 1 got going again and spun another 3 times throughout the race due to being very loose...my best lap time was a 1:44.4 i was faster then Bens time by .8 tenths

ended up finishing 3rd only to go over the scales and weighed in 3lbs lite....i was DQ'd

oh well all in all it was a good weekend and has me itching to get my kart ready for the National race at NJMP in Sept 23-25 not sure if were on Thunderbolt or Lightning

damn that sucks about being DQ'd. wouldnt it make more sense for them to weigh the cars before the race?

Demonicbird00 · 08-07-2011, 03:58 PM

no because its easier this way, more uniformed

Nice report and sounds like you had fun anyway in spite of the DQ.

Couldn't you eat a couple Big Mac's before weigh-in?

Demonicbird00 · 08-10-2011, 08:01 PM

lol i wish, i never scaled the kart and me after practice to see where i was w/ weight, if i need to add lead or not. so really it was my fault for not checking

but i had a great time non the less
