🏎️ MARCH SPONSOR 🏎️

This months sponsor is a little special as it is also the reveal of Jesse’s new kart livery!

Jesse at graphic.nz has helped level up the Kart with some new vinyl and all our sponsors.
Unfortunately there was issues with the vinyl staying on the bumper so it’s stayed black - but actually we’ve decided this looks cool and makes it much easier to spot Jesse on the track!
Thanks so much Jesse for the awesome job you did and bringing his kart to life! 🏎️

These are all our sponsors for 2026! 🥳🥳
We are so lucky to have so much support for Jesse on and off track as he chases down his dreams.

The Real Motherhood
Fragile Express
Truck Norris Texas BBQ
Carey Strand (Strand Painters & Decorators)
Biketranz
And of course .nz

You are all making this boys dreams come true!! 🖤🏎️

🏎️ MARCH CLUB DAY 🏎️

Little bit slow on the post for Jesse’s March race day (a couple of weeks ago) but that doesn’t reflect Jesse’s speed on the day!

It was so nice to see the sun shining for a race day! Usually we get rain or we watch the skies worrying for rain and changing conditions all day! So that was a bonus!

Jesse had an awesome day, 2 new personal bests! 2 first places, 2 second places and a third.
Overall he came second as it came down to the final heats results. Bit of a shame as he got knocked off track twice costing him his other leads BUT this is racing - so all in all good learning and experience.

His PB on a dry/sunny day is now 43.481 🥳🥳

You’ll also notice his new kart design - see this months sponsors post for more on that ☺️

As usual a massive thank you to everyone who helps us be here! Mum, Dan, Uncle Matty, Carey & Jack and everyone who comes to support - Sister, Gran, Grumps & Stan! 🏎️ well done Jesse James!

🏎️ EXCITING NEWS 🏎️

Next time Jesse hits the track his kart will have a flash new makeover 🥰

New “livery” as designed by Jesse & Mama that shows off all his awesome sponsors and has him looking swish on track!

We ran with the original kart look as it wasn’t far off our own ideas - but it is a bit patchy here and there so it’s time for a tidy up and to honour all the business’ who keep Jesse’s wheels rolling!
So watch this space!!

This months sponsor was Uncle Matty and Fragile Express.
Uncle Matty has been a big supporter since day one helping as part of the pit crew and this weekend his new business sponsored Jesse’s race weekend.
He transported Jesse’s kart to and from track and set up a pits with his van & gazebo for the day.
It was our first time using the go pro and Uncle Matty set this up then reviewed the footage with Jess after each race tweaking things here and there.

Thanks so much Matt for all your love & support.

We wish you well with Fragile Express. If anyone needs anything moved around the North Island safely - Matt is your Man!

🏎️ REVERSE TRACK DAY 🏎️

Yesterday we prayed to the weather gods all day long for dry track conditions for our club day and aside from the last heat of the day and a few drizzles we stayed dry and on slicks!

It was an up and down day for Jesse.
They had 3 heats in reverse and 3 heats normal track.
No new PBs but each race he shaved about a second off his previous best lap time each race - so lots of progress as the day went on.

Judd & George from Palmy were there again which is always awesome as great to make new buddies and have battles. Appreciate their Dads helping lift the kart after each race with Uncle Matty and the support out on the track when someone gets stuck and needs rescuing.

Judd had an awesome day coming first in every race and leading the way!
George and Jesse battled all day each having 3 2nd places each and 3 3rds for George. 2 for Jesse and one DNF. George and Jesse battle the whole way round the track. Both make progress each time.

Our proudest moment was when Jesse pulled out of the last race due to his air cooler box coming lose and hanging down on the track. It would have been so hard to pull into the pits knowing the race was over - but he made the right choice avoiding any damage or risking anyone’s safety by having something left on the track. Unfortunately this wasn’t a happy ending to the day for Jesse but he is learning the joys of racing and to keep a positive mindset!

At prizegiving all 3 boys got their trophies for last months Enduro. Jesse got 2nd place.
And their certificates for club day. Jesse got 3rd.

We also had Grumpsy’s go pro today - it was so good to be able to watch after each race and make some corrections each time he went back out. Thanks Grumpsy!

A big thanks as usual to Carey & Jack. Today’s pit crew was Mama & Uncle Matty & Carey - thank you. And Aylee did an awesome job in the kitchen again! 🏎️

Race 1 Jesse and Judd battled for first place for the first lap before Judd passed him. Great for Jesse to have someone to follow and learn from ☺️ Well done Judd.

🏎️ January Club day (Summer Series) + Cadet Enduro 🏎️

Yesterday we kicked off the racing year - double time.
Jesse (plus Judd & George from Palmy) had the usual club race day (4 heats, not 5)
Plus their 30min Enduro race. (With one pitstop)

All 3 boys did amazing!

The weather was not helpful, not summer. 😅

Started the day with rain, needing a quick tyre change. Managed to change back middle of the day, but it was a painful day of watching the rain and conditions. (Pit crew definitely learning on the job - big thanks to Carey & Jack as usual for all their expertise and help)

Heat 1 in the rain - Jesse had 3 spin outs and came 3rd 48.494 was his best time. I think this is his new PB in the wet.

Heat 2 in the rain again - Jesse came 2nd his best lap time was 48.616.

Enduro - 30 mins on track with a pit stop, Jesse managed 37 laps. Jesse came 2nd Best lap 46.828 All boys were exhausted after this - see pic of him having a little lunch lie down on the couch 😴

Heat 3 - weather conditions were improving. Track still had some drying out to do. Jesse came 2nd. Best time 46.666

Heat 4 - the final for the day. Weather still better but slight drizzle on and off. Nearly didn’t get on track as had issues starting the kart on the grid. Massive thanks to everyone nearby helping get it going. Particularly Kevin & Michael who had their own boys to send off too!
This was Jesse’s best race of the day and he came FIRST 🥳🥳 It’s not Jesse’s first first - but his first one racing others 😅 so it was a great end to a hectic race day! Best time for heat 4 was 46.452 so no new PB today.

Congratulations to Judd on all his wins - in particular the Enduro. And to George for doing so well. George and Jesse spent the day battling each other for 2nd place. So many close calls and often not much distance between them. Very cool for Jesse to have some mates to race and the way they all support each other is awesome! 👌

Bring on next month!

🏎️ As we wrap the year I’ve had a look at some of Jesse’s times.

When he first took his kart to the track in August for the very first time - his best time was 49.46 (dry conditions)

Today his best time was 44.45 - so he has shaved off 5 seconds in 5 months 🥳
