Sunday August 26th. Badger Raceway, Dousman WI.
A very wet past ten days gave way to sunny skies and 80 degree temperatures once again at Badger Raceway in Dousman Wisconsin for round #13 of the Bridgestone Championship Race Series.
An early fuel delivery problem scratched our attempt at our first morning practice, but once we discovered and fixed the problem we took to the track with a little re-learning to do. Sam had been out of the kart for almost three weeks now and had to find his stride once again. Thanks to Travis Kosik who is our closest competitor in our class, Sam had just the motivation to find the speed once again by the time the final arrived.
Although not his quickest time to date, he managed a 39.13 lap around the six-tenth of a mile track to score yet another 2nd place finish in HPV Junior. A big thank you has to go to Bob Clark who helped me point the chassis in the right direction. We've been struggling a bit with the front end geometry on our Pegasus Auto Racing/ OMP Margay since our recent crash and finally got it sorted out. Thanks Bob!
We now have another three weeks off until round #14 on September 23rd. In our quest to break the elusive 39 second mark we are planning on testing several times before this date with a private coaching session planned for Friday August 31st. Until then Happy Labor Day to you all, and kids, good luck in the new school year.
