Race #4 recap
B’s Jr Outlaw kart performed well last night. Heat race resulted in starting P5 in the feature. He made his way to P2 and was following the leader when he saw her coming a little loose off turn 4. He slowed in anticipation but the p3 kart did not and turned him sideways. The entire field checked up behind him. Unfortunately, it was catastrophic for some. All drivers were ok. After the mess got sorted B restarted P2 and was able to pass the leader and lead for a couple laps. Last lap came and the P2 kart ran the fastest lap of the night and passed B to take the win. Frustrating loss to an awesome competitor but it was a good race to finish P2.

Abby continued making strides in her Sr Outlaw kart. Heat races resulted in her starting P13 in the A feature. She’s still learning to trust the kart and herself. She is running some of her fastest laps yet. She finished P12. That’s a win in our books.

Race #4 today!

06/02/2026

Race #3 in the books. Still making small gains. Practice went great and gave us some good feedback.

Brayden’s Jr Outlaw heat race went so well he started P4 in the A feature race. Despite the feature being a bit messy behind him, he raced his way up and finished 3rd!

Abby’s Sr kart was performing well during her heat race when she made contact with another kart causing her to take a little flight. Luckily she landed back on all four tires as this corner has flipped a few karts already this season. The kart was still drivable. She drove away with a slightly bent axle and a little body damage. The heat still resulted in her starting P12 in the A feature. This is progress. Unfortunately during the feature the slightest contact with another competitor in turn 3 caused her kart to have an issue and make it fall way off the pace. She finished the race a lap down but it’s better than a DNF. Kart repairs will be made and we’ll be back at it next week!

How our weekend went

05/19/2026

Race #2 was another one to remember.

Brayden’s 9 Jr Outlaw kart ran a clean heat race. Finishing second. He started 5th in his feature. He moved up to 3rd and held on to it to the checkered flag despite having two cautions.

Abby in the 06 Sr Outlaw kart had a personal best night and one we won’t forget. She went out in her heat race started in p2 drove to the front and held it there for the duration. That’s right for the first time she won her qualifier! This put her on the pole for the feature. Huge gain for the 06 and goal achieved as she didn’t have to chase the LCQ. While her kart still isn’t as fast as some of the field she has gained the confidence to start in the front and drive hard for the duration. She finished 14th but for the 06 this was still a great night. More tuning in store for this kart.

We’re off next week for Memorial Day so we’ll be back June 1 for race 3.

Of course we’d be nothing without our sponsors who help these kids learn more than how to drive a kart:

Monday’s first race was a success in our books. B ran some seriously fast laps during practice. He started 5th in his feature. It was some tough racing with a bunch of wrecks and cautions but he drove through it and drag raced his way to a second place finish!
Abby is sitting a newly refinished kart this year. She has gained some speed and driving skills. While she didn’t qualify for the A feature, she drove hard during her B feature starting 7th and finishing 4th. So close to the LCQ but no dice. More adjustments being made this week and we’ll see how they work on the track on Monday.

A little taste of what happened during Brayden’s feature race. Luckily he avoided the whole mess. No one was injured thanks to all the safety measures Wild Things Karts requires.
