Ethan Frye Racing 32E

09/06/2026

I’m not sure there’s ever been a weekend we’d like to forget more. If it could go wrong, it did.

1. kart fell off the stand TWICE on the way up
2. the first practice destroyed the front nose from digging into the track
3. the kart stand broke…going down a hill, with the kart on it
4. Ethan was foot to the floor wide open and just watched the other karts go by
5. pretty sure we melted in the heat 🥵

Ended with 1 3rd, 3 4ths, 1 5th & 1 6th. Doesn’t sound too bad until you add there was only 6 karts on day 1 & 9 on day 2. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Here’s to hoping we used up all the bad luck this weekend and it’s only up from here.

Bedrock Raceway recap (7 karts):

🟦 Plate:
Heat 1: p3 ➡️ 🏁
Feature: p1 ➡️ p2
Had a good lead but tires didn’t refire well after a late caution, buddy Hayden got the win.

Jr Pro:
Feature: p1 (qualifying) ➡️ back of the pack after we got right reared & sent off the track ➡️ 🏁🏁

We might have melted a bit too much in the heat 🥵, but still had a blast celebrating a good racing friend. And we got it done on Burris tires, making the tire guy some $$ too.

Off next weekend for family Christmas (yes…in August!) and then who knows where.

K3 Karting recap for the True Midwest Kart Series & the John Frye Memorial

🟪 Pro (27 karts): p1 ➡️ p2 - didn’t quite have enough grip to stick, Ethan did what he could.

Jr Champ (7 karts): p1 ➡️ p2 - got slammed at the start, sending him back to 3rd. got back to 2nd but a driver error (yes those happen 😆) meant not completing the pass to win.

John Frye Memorial (🟪 Plate) (29 karts): p9 ➡️ p5 - Had the kart & driver more than capable of winning but got sent to back for being involved in a caution on lap 15, despite having no way to avoid it & Ethan’s kart never stopping.

Wish we could have gotten the win for Papa, but sometimes the calls just don’t go your way & it’s not your night.

Thank you to all the kart sponsors, everyone who helped out in the pits & all the fans who cheered Ethan on.
