Weekend race recap. One last race was offered a predator motor to use from Wolfe MotorSports and Wyatt Wolfe so we traveled down to Delaware Iowa to race in the predator flat kart class. This is a motor we have never ran at a track we have never Ben too. Started off practice ok Mattie said was a little loose so made some adjustments went out first heat started 9th out of nine quickly moved up could run anyware ended up 4th. Second heat started on the pole got spun out leading 3 laps in sone people are just impatient and need to learn when to pass well we got sent to the back supposedly all involved go to the back. Oh well now you have an angry driver started passing people ended up 4th again. Now it’s feature time started 5th. Fell back some then worked her way up was top three for a long time just being patient and avoid all the chaos in the back again very strong kart and smart driving. Until coming to white flag got spun out by another driver not sure how to use his breaks. Under up 4th in the feature also. All in all Avery good night feel like we had a top three kart if not the one to beat but that’s racing. Congratulations to Wyatt Wolfe Sr. On the win and Autumn on a second place thank you again for offering up the motor and asking us to race

It’s race day

Friday was the last points race of the regular season at Lightning Speedway in Fountain City. We didn't come home with a feature win or championship in points but we really enjoyed our night with our racing friends. Congratulations to Kilian on your first heat win and Congratulations to Riley on the Points Champion for the season. It was a fun season to watch everybody grow and learn at a new track.

Cedar Lake was a fun indoor track. We prefer Hot Laps and a feature over qualifying and a feature like they ran yesterday. Here's why: leave to house at 4 a.m. to get there for registration and pre check. Practice starts at 11:00. Around noon they start qualifying. Qualifying is done 3 karts at a time. There's alot of karts. It takes 3 hours. So you run your 5 laps and wait. She raced at 3:30, race lasts 4 minutes and then your night is done. And then you wait another 4 hours for all the races to finish to get your pay out. She qualified 4th and felt good going into the feature. She was battling for 3rd when she got hit during an attempted pass. I was in the stands and couldn't see but she was struggling in the corners. Mike was in the pits and thought she had a flat tire. Mike told her to slow down and just finish the race. After the race Mattie and Mike were looking for a flat tire and couldn't find it. They picked up the kart to put on the scales and the left tire fell off! Found the issue. Luckily it didn't fall off during the race. We enjoyed hanging out with the Wolfe Family for the day. Thanks you guess for all your help.

2 days of racing and neither night went our way. Friday night at Lightning Speedway... let's just say we don't want to talk about it and move on. 🤣 Mattie admitted she was off and should've listened to dad. That being said, it was a beautiful night and we love the friendships that we are creating, making it feel like the good old days at Coulee. Got home at 11:00 & unpacked the trailer and got it ready to leave Saturday morning at 4 a.m. (another post coming for Cedar Lake)
