Following practice, on Friday we thought we were prepared for the qualifying rounds. Unfortunately, we were off a small amount during both rounds of qualifying but after several changes, we did well. In the LO206 Senior class I finished 2nd and in the 100CC Senior class I won that race

Mid-Ohio, Lexington, OH
World Karting Association Road Course
This was the third race of the WKA Road Course series. On Saturday I finished 2nd, roughly 40 seconds behind 1st on the 2+ mile, 30-minute race. After a few changes that night Sunday's race was awesome. The field was 53 karts and I left the start in 2nd place. After a few laps, I began reeling in 1st place and on the white flag I made the pass for the lead, winning my first ever road course at Mid-Ohio.

Today's race consisted of a 5-minute group qualifier, a pre-final and a final.
In my LO206 Senior kart, I qualified 4th and finished 2nd in the pre-final. In the final, I was hit off the track by another kart racer and managed to re-enter the race in the same position I went off in. On the final lap, I attempted a last turn pass which was clean but I was unable to pull ahead and ended up 2nd.
In the 100cc Senior class, I qualified 3rd. After a few changes, I made a little progress in the pre-final finishing 2nd. A few more changes were made before the final and those proved quite successful as I was nearly .25 seconds faster than the other racers and took home the win in that class.

This race contained a 5-minute group qualify and an extended 17-lap final. In both karts, 100cc Senior & LO206 Senior I qualified on the pole. Both karts were fast and there were many back and forth, clean passes throughout the day. However, when the checkered flags flew I was in 2nd place. We'll try it again tomorrow!

The race format for the day was a pill draw. Through the heat races, the kart was fast, I drove smooth and smart putting my 100cc KA kart in the P1 position and my LO206 kart in the P2 position to start the final. In the final, I won in the 100cc Senior class and 2nd in the LO206 Senior class. I'm happy with the finishes.

Today I moved into the senior class where I raced in 2 classes. In my 100cc kart, I threw 2 chains during each practice session. I blame the mechanic! During the races, I had no issues with the kart or the chains. The racing was close from the drop of the green to the wave of the checkered. In the end, I finished 5th.
My LO206 4-stroke kart was extremely fast and I felt like I could put the kart anywhere on the track and it handle great. I finished the day in 1st place. A great way to start the year in a new class.

The weather was a comfortable 70° whereas at home it was a blistery 28°. For this reason, as well as coming off a win at the Daytona International Speedway I was eager to get back into the seat and race.
On race day 1 I jumped to an early lead, placing a sizable lead on 2nd place. Unfortunately, I lost the draft and the racer in 2nd was able to catch up to me. After many laps of back-and-forth lead changes and a drag race down the front straight-away, I was able to cross the finish line inches ahead.
On day 2 the weather was phenomenal once more. After a few subtle kart setup changes, I was able to put a big lead over 2nd place immediately following the drop of the green flag. I was able to hold that lead for the entire race, once again finishing in 1st.

Although I had been racing sprint tracks for several years this was the first road course race for me. Following a few practice sessions and kart setup changes, I felt comfortable in my kart at speeds in excess of 90mph.
I started in the 66th position and when the green flag dropped I quickly made my way to the front. At the completion of the first lap (3.81 miles), I had moved into P1 in my class, 2nd overall. This type of racing consists of multiple classes racing at the same time. On this day it was possible to have 5 winners in 5 different classes. At the checkered, I led every lap in my class and won my first ever WKA national race (World Karting Association).
