Last weekend we got to experience our first Cup Karts East event at New Jersey Motorsports Park - NJMP! Very organized event and the “funnest track” yet!

Brand new track, brand new challenges. Friday practice with our coach Hudson Brown set the tone. With him in our corner, we made fast improvements right out of the gate.

Lots of seat time this weekend helped us zero in on our improvement areas: starts and early race pace. We also picked up some valuable lessons on the mental side of racing — just as important as anything we work on behind the wheel.

Saturday
Qualified: P4
Heat 1: P4 → P5
Heat 2: P5 → P5
Feature: P5 → P4 (Oliver dropped to P7 on a rough start, put his head down, and raced back to P4. Special thanks to the recently crowned CKNA East, Jr 206 Champion, Will Crites, for the racing tips!)

Sunday
Qualified: P6
Heat: P6 → P5
Main: P5 → P4

Huge thanks to Locked & Loaded Motorsports for the support, motivation, and help all weekend. Congrats Remi on fast driving all weekend!

None of this growth happens without Snap Ya Neck Racing fast motors, Hudson Brown’s coaching, and our Gold Kart.

Last weekend we took on Sandy Hook Speedway Kart-Um-Downs. 4 track configurations, each with a practice, qualify, and main. Quick maths: 12 times on track in 2 days, in 90° heat.🥵 Yeah, it was a workout.

Sure, there was only 2 of us in class…Podium was guaranteed. But don’t let that fool you. This was some of the most intense racing I’ve had in karting.

Our qualifying gap? .02 seconds. (Grab your phone stopwatch, hit start and stop as fast as you can. That’s the margin.) The races were no different. 12-lap features, multiple passes, and at the end? Still separated by .12 or less. (Same test. Barely a blink.)

When every lap matters that much, 2nd place hits different. So does 1st.

🏆🏆Came home with 2 wins!

Topped it all off making some great new friends.

As always, couldn’t be possible without motors by Snap Ya Neck Racing, coaching principles from Hudson Brown and a quick Gold Kart !

We got to visit Summit Point Motorsports Park to race in the Capital Karting Challenge

Race weekend recap!
P2 🥈for Saturday’s final (which was ran Sunday morning)
P5 for Sunday’s final

The weather AND a cone both tried to take us down. Saturday brought ☀️, then drizzle, then high winds, then a ⛈️ resulting in a track closure, and a shredded canopy. Sunday, Oliver found even more speed, setting a personal best and qualifying 2nd again. Unfortunately, in the heat race, he caught a cone in his RF tire that sent him off-track where it would put him starting 5th in the final. Never quite found the groove after that. Silver lining: the speed is there and we know our mistakes help us learn and grow!

Couldn’t make it happen without our fast Gold Kart and Snap Ya Neck Racing motor!

Yesterday was an eventful day at United Karting - BWI for race #2!

Practice: P4 out of 11

Qualify: P6 out of 11 — only 0.07s separated 4th, 5th, and 6th!

Pre-Final: Got spun on the start, climbed back to P7, then got pinched into the barrier while making a pass attempt for P6. Race over. 😞

Dad, with the help of the Skaags family got to work — bending, banging, and straightening parts to get the kart back together just in time for the Final.

Final: Started P11, finished P7.

We learned lots, found plenty of opportunities to grow, and had a blast with track friends!

Thanks to Snap Ya Neck Racing, Gold Kart, and coaching from Hudson Brown that gave us the speed to compete! Hopeful next race, we get a chance to use it towards the front.

Mid-60s and ☀️, a beautiful day for practice at United Karting - BWI. Huge thanks to Hudson Brown’s coaching where we were able to gain a second off our lap time!!

The pieces are comin together and we are finding our rhythm.

Shoutout to Snap Ya Neck Racing for the fast and consistent motor and Gold Kart!

We had our first race of the season yesterday at United Karting - BWI. It was a 🥶 day (40s). We had a rough practice but gained speed for qualifying, where we qualified 7th out of 11.

We continued to gain speed through the pre-final and final, competing for 5th at times, to ultimately finish 7th.

Massive thanks to Hudson Brown for his coaching and setup, which helped us gain 1.5 seconds/lap from qualifying to the final!!

Couldn’t be done without Snap Ya Neck Racing’s power and quick Gold Kart

We’re lucky to have an indoor go-kart track so close to home! 🏁 We stopped by Adrenaline Raceway to run a few laps and were impressed. Great local setup, friendly and experienced staff, karts with electronic seat and pedal adjustments, and a track that’s perfect for practicing the fundamentals.

If you’re in the area, be sure to reserve your spot during the soft opening!
