A long way to go and a short time to get there

Six weeks. That's all we have until the kart needs to be back together and running. Right now it's a bare frame waiting for our engine, seat, steering, and - well just about every single piece that it takes to be a fully functional kart!

We're planning on going out to our local track to break the new engine in before heading right out to South Bend for the Man Cup race on the weekend after. The first WKA National of the season was this last weekend in Florida. We couldn't attend, but I read an article on our club's website saying that in Sam's class (HPV Jr. Lite) the competition was hot and the number of entries was high. T.J. Koyen and Tommy Anderson were there and both faired well with T.J. earning a podium finish. There's no doubt that this next race in May will probably have the same number in attendance so we're going to have to buck up quick if we're going to make it amongst them.

We are very excited to say that at this time we are in negotiations with OMP on a limited sponsorship deal and as always, full support from Pegasus. Our new graphics package for 2007 is being made for us as we speak and pictures will follow. It's time to start paying back the people who've been helping us and getting everyone's name out in this sleek fashion should prove to be just the trick. My son and I designed this image and I have to say that I can't see us not being noticed this year.

So we look forward to seeing some of you at the track in May. It's been a long winter and we're all a little eager to get back out there. Until then.
