Well we tried our luck this weekend at outlaw motorsports in Shawnee, Oklahoma at the manufacturers throwdown in the non wing, open 500, and sportsman classes with our 2 melt chassis. Evan in the non wing and open 500 classes, started off the weekend with chasing down electrical issues on the kart, found a bare wire to the kill switch causing our problem. Worked on set up after our heats and time trials, felt like we were moving in the right direction and had a decent kart to make it through the alphabet soup. But ended the weekend for both classes racing in the open 500 F Main with a hard hit to the right rear bending the axle and knocking the carburetor off. Michelle driving In the sportsman class was on a new kx450, after making several adjustments we were getting it dialed in and made it to the A main from the B feature but missed the set up in the feature and we're way too tight on entry, still ended up 5th in the main with a new motor, new chassis, and new driver. Over all we learned a lot about both karts, had a good time with family and friends, and we were blessed to be able to do what we love! A big thank you to BMR graphics for keeping our karts looking good, BMR performance for keeping them on the track, Outlaw motorsports for putting on an awesome show, and all the racing fans that support what we love to do.
