Recap from yesterday.
Had our ups and downs yesterday. We’ve enjoyed running this Ultimate Outlaw Kart Series so far and as racing is, it doesn’t always go your way. New track came with its learning curves. I was off on the initial gear for box stock so we were off on RPMs a good bit. The show went fast, so trying to make changes while getting him ready for his next class was rough. In box stock a bolt in his gear hub ended up getting stripped out causing it to come loose. It’s happens, lots of use over time. New part is already ordered.
In Jr Wing Liam ran Aubree’s ride while she handled her horse. Unfortunately the right rear hub ended up sliding in again and popped the tire. We were a little high on gear. Didn’t have another RR so that ended that class. Need to figure out why the tires doing that.
Young Guns however was different. After getting rained out at Talladega Raceway Park having only made a handful of laps on a bigger track he got his laps in this race. We were able to diagnose and fix a throttle issue early with some help from the SR1 crew. Learned a bit more about these motors. Liam did great and you could see him trying different lines and entries. His arms were like Jello afterwards. Cody Overton gave him some workout tips to strengthen and Condition. Got some work to do before next Fridays race at Dega. Posted some videos to enjoy! Thank you to Infinite Games for helping these kids this year!
