510 people had dreams of leaving CKNA Grands X as the winner of the biggest 4 stroke race in the world. 9 would leave with that title. 45 left with trophies. The rest of us left with the continued dreams of one day reaching victory.
We had gone into our first Grand Nats very optimistic. We know Weston is a good driver and this race is exactly what he needed to push him a little further.
We had a goal of top 10 and showed promise in reaching that goal. Weston drove hard and managed to keep his kart in one piece all weekend. He pushed himself, stayed focused, and continued to give his best all weekend.
With only driving at NCMP one other time (different layout) he adapted to the track well. Unfortunately we were unable to find a draft to stay in contention with the leaders, and was stuck in separate battles behind the front pack. Working together and racing smart is imperative to be able to hit the steps on the podium.
We are very greatful to have the opportunity to enter a race at such a large scale. It was a blast, from start to finish. We believe that one day Weston will achieve his dream of being a national champion.
