Flying Falcone! Everybody on the fence was giggling like kids each time he when through (over) the S-turns and gained back 3 or 4 kart lengths. 4 wheels in the air (on purpose) on almost every lap was pretty damn impressive. Scott, i don’t know how your back/body survived that but kudos on your air-time.
For those who weren’t there, Scott was taken out and had to start from the back in the final. He charged through the field in impressive fashion. Some of the other karts would get two wheels in the air on one or two of the curbs. Scott had none of that. 4 wheels CLEARLY in the air and a small cloud of dust. Scott was bringing the moto-x style.
As a karting newbie :new (and engineer/analyst by trade), the mylaps results for the two days and Scott’s performances were a lesson in statistics, great driving, and how in the end the fast guy/great driver got things done given all the elements stacked against him.
Congrats Scott on the great results and thanks for the schooling!! :~
:usa: A super racer who will share. Great job Scott. We will have a pit spot on Aug 3-4 if your schedule allows you to attend the Heroes event.

:coThank you very much for all the great compliments and kudos.
Not to mention, all the support on and off the track. You guys were all great this last weekend. Lots of Colorado folks were at the scales, stands and fence high fiving me, yelling like crazy and showing nothing but incredible support during the good and bad times of the weekend. It really means a lot to me that all of our hard work doesn’t go unnoticed. So, thank you again!!!!! Colorado should be proud.
I would like to especially send out a supper big thank you to my sponsors and tuners at Kartsport North America, Eric Jones, Victor Pedrosa, Brandon Jones, Ben and Mark Schermerhorn, Arrow X3, K1 Racegear, and Alfano. I couldn’t have this success without you all, thank you very much!
As far as the racing goes this weekend- I will bite my tongue and just say I had blast and if the politics were in the right place we would have easily swept the weekend, but that’s okay. I had the best time that I have ever had in a go kart in the main on Sunday jumping the chicane was as fun as it looked.
On Saturday I was doing it but not as big because I was worried about throwing a chain or breaking the kart. Remember, we are still in a point’s race for the championship. But, after winning on Saturday and having a 1-2-1 already for the series we figured Sunday could be the drop. So I got the direct order to attach the chicane and bring it. On Sunday in the main I took flight- literally! I had to time the jumping through the chicane perfectly or I would have landed on top of the kart in front of me. I nearly did land on the competitors in front of me several times throughout the weekend. None the less it was a blast and we should be leading the championship going into Vegas were the glove are off the real racing begins.
We are now putting our focus towards next week’s Rotax Grand Nationals in Rotax Masters. The competition will be stellar and nothing but very competitive. We will need some great equipment and lots of luck to complete for the national championship.
Thank you again for all of your kind words and support it really does mean a lot to me see you soon.
