Last weekend of Racing for the Season






It was another hectic weekend with racing on both Saturday and Sunday and soccer on Saturday. It was a sad weekend in racing, Tony raced his last kid kart race. He will officially move up next year to the Junior Sportsman He has been practicing some in his "new" kart so next year should be a good learning experience for him. Him moving up makes it real that he is actually growing up and getting older. Tony finished 7th on Saturday and 5th on Sunday. Even though he finished 5th on Sunday I think that was the best I had seen him run. He was very focused and did an awesome job! Oh and the soccer game was good too, they lost 6-1 but the team they played was an awesome team and even Tony knew how good they were.

Ron had three poles this weekend, two wins in the Stock Moto class and a 2nd and 4th in the TAG class. It was a great way to finish out the year. I think they have figured out the TAG kart and should be a force to reckoned with next year! It is always bitter sweet at the last race of the year. For me I look forward to having a few normal weekends but then I think what is normal? For us, normal is being at the track we all miss it during the winter! It will be a long winter but Ron is ready to start preparing for next year. I think we have plenty to keep us busy this winter so hopefully April will come fast!
