Season Opener, Sunday April 19th

In grand fashion and what has historically happened for years, the season opener at Badger Raceway was a rain out. Only three classes were awarded race points with the rest of us receiving 200 rain points.

Not too disappointing seeing that we had to scramble to get the kart even drivable on Friday. Saturday's weather was fantastic but between broken parts and upwards of 40 karts being on the track at the same time, any real testing was useless.

Once Sunday arrived we were greeted with cold temperatures (thirty degrees cooler than Saturday) and skies that would threaten rain for most of the morning until it finally arrived mid afternoon. The decision was made literally as Sam was waiting on the grid to go out for his second heat race. Nothing left to do but pack up and hope for the best on the 26th.
