Well, after spectating last year, I told myself that I had to race next year. I’m glad I did! Racing in downtown was a great experience, and just like last year, I met a bunch of people who just noticed the happenings when they were walking/biking/driving by and stopped in to check it out! A kart race with spectators outside of our own families? How cool is that? Jim, you and your crew raised the bar from last years event, and that’s saying something. It really felt like a ‘big-deal’ race. Oh, and the TV coverage doesn’t hurt either. Well done! :clap:
As for me, it could have gone better (could have gone much worse too). Only my 4th shifterkart race ever, and minimal practice meant I was in over my head. But I kept it out of the wall and had a blast just being a part of the racing. My onboard video is great (even from the back of the pack, i’ll post those later). I really hope this becomes a staple of CO Karting.
Now, time to rest, recover, and rebuild for Grand Junction in a couple weeks. :~
