I got 3rd place on Saturday at the Tri-C Karters Calspeed race.
Qualified 2nd, heat 1 =2nd, for heat 2 the “mechanic” decided to get
creative with the axle width and I dropped to 4th. For the 14 lap.
Finally I got the old man to reset the original chassis settings and then
I flew with the pack.
Despite a poor start. I made a couple of good passes but then had to
brake as two karts in front of me got tangled. Parker Stanway hit me
hard in the rear putting himself out of the race but also breaking the
exhaust support cradle on my kart. So nearly put me out as well!

The #0 & #37 karts who had, tangled cut across track and re-joined ahead of
me, putting me back at 4th, I passed #37 and moved on #0 but I started to lose power.
The hard rear end crash had broken my exhaust bracket and the exhaust rotated
around so the outlets were being blocked. Bye-bye power…
I got 3rd place though and I was pleased to have had a good
challenging race. Still, I don’t think people cutting across the track
and illegally gaining position should be allowed to keep it. Judges??
