When he can't race himself, he's cheering super loud for his best mate Emerson. Think he was almost as loud and proud as Katrice Mills 🤣
Moments like this are why we love the sport

Wasnt the round she was hoping for as in practice we had good pace
Qualifying was good pace and drove well
Heat 1 and 2 good speed but struggled with putting consistent laps together
Heat 3 had good speed and put the laps together and finish 10th
Heat 4 good start but got run over by another kart
Final we went out with a just send it and see what happens mentality. Good start but got ran of the track and kart wouldnt start again.

Big thanks to the whole H-Sport Racing Team for letting us be apart of there AKC team its been an awesome.

Race Day IPSWICH KART CLUB

Wow what a day!! Both kids drove awesome so not sure who to start with. But Shelby was first in the order so we will start with her.

*program changed from Qualifying, 2 heats and final to 3 heats and final. Random, reverse, points, points.

Cadet 12. Decent numbers with 32. Starts were average all day with issues every race in turn 1/2.
🔷️Heat 1 started 27th, drove hard and went forward to 20th.
🔷️Heat 2 started 4th, survived the incident in turn 1/2, slotted into 2nd, got into first and lead for a good lap before a couple little mistakes crept in. Crossed the line in 3rd!!! However.....she was served a 5 second penalty for jumping the start (along with 2nd and 6th). So on paper she ended 9th. Doesn't take away how well she drove!
🔷️ Heat 3 started 12th. Again survived turn 1/2 and drove well. Ended up 7th.
🔷️ Final started 11th, made the start work and drove up to 6th. Battled and drove hard, putting in the laps and at times having more guts than the boys 💪 Crossed the line in 9th!
3 top 10 finishes in that field was an effort with minimal practice time on the new layout.

Next up and last in today's program was Riley in Cadet 9. Healthy field of 20 today.
Overall today Riley drove awesome. He worked hard on fixing things and getting faster. With a little more confidence into some braking zones, he will be great.
In true Riley style he finally was getting it all put together in the final. Unfortunately our little dude got caught up in a pretty decent crash thru the middle and was hurt.
Massive thanks to Cooper and Nates dad (sorry I have never gotten your name) for comforting him until I got over to him. Its very appreciated. And once again to Marnie of Trax Medical for looking after him. But for now hes sleeping. We will get him home and see how he is.

Emma Carroll - thank you to Jeremy for his help all day but especially after Riley's crash with packing us up and checking in on the little guy.
Thanks Jack Jensen for the lifts and running from one side of the track to the other and back to help Jeff get Riley's kart.
Thanks Harrison Hoey, Troy Hoey , Kris Walton for the support today esp when Shelbs was down after the penalty decision.

Other than the ending, another good weekend with the H-Sport Racing Team.

Now we drive home, get 2 days there before heading to Boliva for the final round of AKC.
