Well, that was fun. Had to skip the second heat but ready to go for the feature…

Ready to roll for hot laps. It’s a balmy 92 with a slight breeze and off/on cloud cover. Can’t wait for the Fall races to get away from this heat.

Time to play in the dirt!!!

Ooofta today was a hot one, 101 on the temp gauge, real feel >110.

Our driver was a trooper though, pushing through sitting in staging in a black racing suit, baking in his helmet. He ran two good races, a few false starts and crash avoidances. Finished both races in the bottom half but learned a lot about the racing line now that he’s able to keep up and compete.

Pit crew gets a B+. Kept everyone hydrated but missed the gear choice slightly. All good though!

Going to be a hot one today at Blue River Raceway with day temps expected to top out at a “feels like”
Temp of 107. We’re staying hydrated and hiding in the trailer/under the canopy when we’re not in staging. Time to get in the dirt!!!!

Two consecutive week heat race wins at Eagle after spending a month of “figuring it out.”

Driver did awesome with defending his position in both races. He also had a great save + recovery in last night’s feature where he got shoved and could have spun out.

The pit crew gets a solid A for both nights. We have the gearing nearly zero’d in, and are getting better at troubleshooting quickly and correcting. Our tire guy quickly recognized a slightly bent rim, resulting in a slow leak. He quickly swapped out rim and tire and got us back on track. The driver told us of troubles coming out of turns and I was able to review prior pics of detailed setups of the kart to find the issue and correct.

We’ve gotten more efficient at change overs, adhering to strict pre and post race routines as outlined in the OKT book, and getting setup and tear down so we’re not the last trailer at the track any longer.

Special shout out to Uncle Frank's 4 Cycle Racing, Dan Fay Plumbing and Tim Birch for keeping us in parts, tires and knowledge.

It’s so much more fun when he has the opportunity to compete….
