What I do know is that the kart is in a hundred pieces all over the shop floor and it is getting a complete rebuild regardless of what we decide.
This being our send off year, we have established the fact that if we do anything we're doing it all for fun. No pressure and nothing to prove here. We just want to spend our possible last summer at the track with the friends we've made over the past ten years. Traveling to far away places is not on the docket. And going out to pit ourselves against the pros will most likely not happen.
And depending on what Sam's plans are after graduation, I could find myself behind the wheel of the beast myself. If he decides to spend the summer in Europe with Robert (his brother from another mother) well not actually, he's our Foreign Exchange Student from a year ago, I could find myself with time on my hands and an itchin' to get back in the seat of something.
I can't let all my hard work in the off season go unrewarded can I?
So if he stays here in the states, and for as long as we can enjoy doing this before he has to leave for college, our schedule this coming season should look something like this:
May 6th BKC Points Race 1
June 3rd Blackhawk Farms Raceway
June 10th BKC Points Race 4
June 17th BKC Points Race 5
July 8th BKC Points Race 6
July 22nd BKC Ponts Race 7
July 28/29 BKC Points Race 8 & 9
And the tentative events being:
Aug 25/26 BKC Points Race 10 & 11
Sept 9th BKC Points Race 12
Sept 16th BKC Points Race 13
Sept 30th BKC Points Race 14
Oct 7th BKC Points Race 15
Oct 21st BKC Points Race 16
Oct 28th Backwards Enduro
Stay tuned as we weed through all of our options. He's still not absolutely certain of which university he plans on attending. And the talks about Europe are still in their infancy. But if he should choose to trade his helmet, suit, and kart for a beret, scarf, and paintbrush, you'll be the first to know!
A very safe and Happy New Year to everyone from all of us.
