Friday, 8/14 and Sunday, 8/16 recap (Saturday, 8/15 in previous post):
▪️ Friday our travels took us west to Rice Lake Kart Track - after Lightning Speedway cancelled due to impending rain. We were pretty excited for Payt’s draw numbers of 7 and 8, until we realized it was passing points 😅
Green plate (12 karts checked in):
Heat: 1st -> 1st 🏁
Feature: 3rd -> 6th
Blue plate (7 karts checked in):
Heat: 2nd -> 4th
Feature: 5th -> 4th
The racers from that area really know how to throw down and aren’t afraid to do so. It was great to see our fellow racers/friends that we haven’t seen in a while! Payten did what she could.
▫️ Sunday: double header day at Little Buckaroos

Show 1, heat: 4th -> 5th

Kendall showed more speed and consistency in her lines yesterday compared to her previous race! She was eager to get back out there and she drove to a smooth victory, her 3rd on the year! 👏🏼
Payten -
Show 1, heat: 3rd -> 1st 🏁
Show 1, feature: 1st -> 1st 🏆🏁
Show 2, heat: 5th -> 3rd
Show 2, feature: 3rd -> 3rd 🥉
Clean sweep on show 1 of the day. The feature of show 2, brought some bad luck. Passing for the lead, her clutch guard broke and got caught in the chain drive - causing her to have to pull to the infield 😖 the caution came out because of it, which then sent her to the back of the pack on the restart. In 4 laps, she worked her way back to 3rd and was reeling in the leaders. Unfortunately she ran out of laps and had to settle for 3rd but she was hauling and had her sights set on them!
