Tuesday May 12th Race Results

Well race fans another great race nite for those of you who are faithfully following us! We started off the nite getting a thorough looking over of our kart by Chris Long the Tech guy at the track and skipped the warm up laps. We discovered, much to my surprise that more damage was done in last weeks bumping than expected. Our measurement for toe was completely out and apparantly we bent one of our spindles and tie rods. We adjusted, banged and changed a few things around to increase our cross weight and minimize our slipping around. The result was the kart ran tighter but did not affect our overall results. But Hey we were not last and we crossed the finish line unlike some kids. Poor number 11 got creamed in a crash right behind Caleb and the St. John Ambulance attendants had to look at him. The feature race was another crazy race tonight. With 16 kart there is lots of pushing, rubbing and of course spin outs and crashes. Caleb alone had 3 "incidences" with other karts. Mainly his "friend" #20 when they were challanging each other around corners and jockeying for the lead over each other. Caleb did finish ahead of him in the feature YEAH! It was a good nite, weather was warm to start and cooled off when the sun went down. i was glad that i brought my winter coat.
Exciting news!!! Wed we get our "NEW SHED" { pictures to come later } to store Caleb's kart at our house now. This will make it easier to do stuff to the kart and work on it. I have to extend a HUGE thanks to Rae and Vicki for their generous donation to the make a child smile campaign Hee Hee. With their sponsorship money we were able the buy this great shed. Now I just have to build it and we will be all set. Our next project is to get the team jackets and then have the graphics applied. Soon I hope, but i need to get it sorted out and the guy is in Chippawa.
