The first item of business is to say thank you to our new sponsor HARTZEL AUTO AND MARINE on Ormond Street in Thorold. If you need a reasonable priced oil change or someone to work on your car or boat give him a call. Dave is great and will give you awesome freindly service.
Well after a quick clean up after Sundays AWESOME race we are ready for another nite of racing. Monday after work we quickly cleaned and prepared the kart. I hate to say it was very hot and we may have missed a few important things. Caleb called me at 5 pm on my way home from work to inform me we forgot to clean the air filters. Not good since most nites we switch after all 3 races. He quickly cleaned them and left them outside in the oven that is called summer to dry. And guess what....they were dry by the time we needed them. Wow eh!
The nite started off ok but we were not running as well as Sunday. We were keeping up with the other karts but we were not able to pass as well as i would have liked. For whatever reason we just did not seem to have the power tonite. The engine i thought would have been hot enough considering the hot weather but maybe we should have taped it up. The first heat we started 4 out of 6 and finished 5th. the second heat we started 3rd out of 6 and finished 4th. That put us in 9th to start the feature. Crap! As soon as the race started he was lagging and battling with kart #37 but just could not move up. We went around in a circle and finished where we started in 9th BLAH! No money tonight and so much for trying to gain extra points. We are about in the middle of the point standings and I was hoping that we would have a good nite to move up a bit more. It would be nice to be in the top 5. Oh well. I am going to clean the clutch really good and not rush things this time so we can do better next week. oh well heres to being stuck in the middle!
