Sunday was less successful for us. Jesse injured his ribs again in a Saturday crash and competed with a lot of pain on Sunday. I tried to keep him out of the kart but he wouldn’t listen to me – go figure. :loony: He threw down a good lap in qualifying and earned a direct trip to the Pre Main. He fell back a couple positions in the Pre Main from his 28th qualifying position. A mishap on the start of the Main put him in 40th place by the end of the first lap. He slowly moved up and finished 31st and on the lead lap again.
We planned to run this weekend in either KF or the Spec class but will have to wait and see if he will be fit to race. Even though there will be less competitors, the racing action should be every bit as good this weekend as last weekend.
It’s amazing to see the Jarvis Genari, the favorite in the Jr Rotax class, struggle to get a 5th and 11th place finish. He is the defending FWT Jr champ, current JICA champ and four time FWT champ and is as surprised as everyone else how stiff the competition is this year. It has been very difficult for an American driver to crack the top ten in the Sr class. This is some of the very best racing we have seen. 😀
We hope to see a few more Colorado competitors this weekend. :clap:
I’ll try to keep everyone updated.
