GSR Kartway what a weekend for the Prelude and Badger 50!! We had a blast and will definitely want to be a part of this event for years to come!
Now, on to some race recaps:
Friday night we showed up just wanting to feel out the track and have some fun and that we did.
The kart was good during hot laps, so we didnāt touch it for the heat, and that was a mistake. Running third, we threw the chain before a restart, and further investigation determined that David forgot to make sure his sprocket nuts were tightened. Oh well, weāll do better next time.
So we started at the back for the feature. Once again, no changes, except making sure the sprocket was gonna stay put.
And that was the wrong decision, we just werenāt fast enough, finishing in the back of the pack. Lessons learned for Saturday.
Saturday afternoon on the way to the track we talked about trying to free the kart up a bit, and we made a few small changes for the Badger 50.
Free up the kart it did! We were sliding everywhere during practice. But it felt like there was more speed there, so we went with it.
Qualifying was a first for us, being able to go out and get as much as we can out of the kart in one lap. Turns out, it wasnāt as fast as we thought. So a gearing change for the heat, and a lot of work to do.
The heat was better, the kart felt even faster and the lap times showed it. But then we made the fatal mistake and went back to the gearing we started on, and the b main didnāt go well. The kart handled well, but we just could catch the karts in front so that ended our night.
But wait, the drama isnāt over, we still got to watch Jeremy Duquaine race the SPR - Ivy DuQuaine 7x kart in his b-main. Starting third, he was right on the leaders battling for the transfer spot. He even set the fastest lap in the process, but just couldnāt make a move before the flag and the was the end of our racing for the night.
This weekend was an absolute blast and had everything you could want in a couple days of racing. All of the racers in every class battles their hearts out to put on one great show.
Big thanks to Jeremy Duquaine for helping us to be able to race, not only this weekend but the whole year.
Thank you to Alexia Dellemann for literally making this possible, I couldnāt do this without you.
Thank you to Kennedy Moore Racing - K&A Speed Shop for being there when we needed some help or just someone to talk to at the track.
Our season isnāt quite over, thereās one more chance to catch us at Little Buckaroo Jr Motorsports Park operated by Little Buckaroo Karting on October 4. See you there.
