Michael:
I’ll give you a brief synopsis of all the late moves and such (and please forgive me if I’m wrong – I’m just callin’ it like I saw it)
TaG Senior: Kyle Ray and (?) Mitch Cobb had a nice battle for P1 and a dive on the inside in the first few laps put them both off track and towards the back (about 20 seconds off the lead). Both battled back to the front and Kyle passed Julie J in the last two laps to take P1. Heck of a comeback!
ICC Pro: Going into the first two corners the field was two abreast in both corners and one of the Snyder boyz flipped his kart and brought out the ambulance and a red flag. The restart was uneventful and Lorenzo checked out (smooooooooooooth) but Kyle Ray came through the “esses” and hopped a curb, got off line, off track and dug a wheel into the ground from the P2 position and flipped his kart. Kyle’s a little bruised but okay.
Spec Honda: Roger Bonham was in the lead for all 15 laps and in the last corner onto the straight came up on a back marker, took to the inside and his competition went to the outside. Roger was balked and lost P1 by half a kart length (see Mikka Hakkinnen vs. Michael Schumacher at Spa in ?99 and you’ll get the gist)
Mini Max was awesome to watch as the class was bumper to bumper with a little bit of rubbin, bumpin and passin all the way to the end! Dem kids can drive!
There was one driver who kept jumping the curbs in the “esses” and his rear wheel studs sheared off. It was amazing watching that tire haul all the way to the first corner and not hit anyone, more amazing watching the kart do a few 360’s in the dirt. Quite entertaining!!!
That’s all I can tell ya. I was in the pits working on my kart the rest of the time!
BTW… There was a REAL GOOD race in the pits to drink COLD beer after saturday’s practice and race. That was the best race of all. In fact the beer too cold and some got cramps. The peanuts and burritos were also good. And we found a nice hole in the wall called Tequila’s by the mall that serves GREEEEEAAAAAT margarita’s and killer carne asada and pollo asada. We went there twice just to make sure we weren’t dreaming the first night…
So… How are those dates and MRE’s? 😆
