Man what a cool deal! The yamaha only deal there is perfect! There were 12 karts. Track Prep was 2nd to none! By far the nicest track i have ran on in quite some time! Will definatley go back. We need to get about 8 more for the next one so we can start 20 in the main! They are very kart friendly people there! Karts were 1st in practice...Race #1 in the heats and race #1 in the mains! Very very cool deal! Went off and forgot my digital camera so dont have any pics! Sorry!

Nah #9 didnt win but we were fast! 12 karts total! I was pole for the heat race...as we were coming off turn 4 to come to the green i thought i threw a chain but after i got it to the pits found out the starter nut has came loose and so did the driver sheering off the key way and throwing the belt! So i didnt get to run the heat! I started 12th in the main and finished 4th! The leader kinda took off and ran but 2nd 3rd and 4th we were all right together! Phil Pfau got 2nd and not sure who the guy was who was 3rd! The track was prolly the best track i have seen in a number of years! They watered it just enuff! There was a black groove around the bottom and from the middle up was good and sticky also! None of that marbley crap. The new people running it were very enthused about the karts and are working with Darrin Marcum to get the karts back in there! We were 1st for practice 1st heat and 1st main. That yamaha only, burris only, 350lbs deal is really cool and fair! Makes it way more competative and better closer racing! They said for the next race if we get more we can run a 20 kart A-main no problem! I think the heat race was about 8 laps and the main was 10-12? They had a great big outdoor type snack bar with about 3-4 BBQ's going! Good food! I am definatley going back next time! (mid aug)?? Gotta give a shout out to my buddy/crew chief #63. We had the #9 rollin super good in the main! Just started to far back to do much but we passed alot of em! Breakin in the heat race killed it for me but thats how it goes sometimes!

I will try to make the next one! Sounds fun. I am not a fan of Yamaha only but if that is what it takes? I got an old Yamaha and weigh 400#. I should be fighting for the last spot. -KB

Im sure you aint the only one pushing 400 lbs racing down there. When is the next race down there. |

Yah i would say most everyone except 1 or 2 was north of the 350 pounds deal by aways! It was good close racing! I like the open stuff as much as the next guy but i like lots of karts and a good race track better!
