Race Update ~ October 14th Race!!!

We had an awesome race day!!! The kids did fantastic yesterday at PKRA!!! First, Cole won the first heat race for kid karts, and finished second in the second heat race (keep in mind that since he is still a rookie he has to start from the back for every race). He finished second in the main event!!! This was his last race as a rookie, so no telling what he'll do if he starts up front! Makayla qualified fourth in Junior 1's and finished third in the heat race! She ended up finishing third in the main event! She did awesome! And since she is in the points race for the top three for the season we are not going to the dunes at the end of the month, but instead will be out at the track for raceday on the 28th! See you there!

Race Update ~ September 29th!

Wow! What a great night of racing! We took a few hits, but didn't come out too bad! Makayla qualified third, WON the heat race, and was leading the main event until she was taken out by two other karts. But she got back on the track and raced her butt off and managed to finish 4th! Great job Makayla - we're so proud of you! Cole did a great job in both of his heat races (he is so good at the starts - he just motors by the other kids!). In the main event he started last (because he's still a rookie) and got to 1st after the first turn! But, he too was taken out by another kart in turn 3 and was in second to last place by the time he got going again. Just like his sister, he raced his little heart out and finished 4th!!! Awesome job Cole - keep up the good work! The next race is Sunday, October 14th - a day race! Come on out and support the team!
