Destiny Racing

Race, wash, repair, repeat for round 2.

Round 1 of the 2026 SCDK season was a mixed bag for Destiny Racing dirt karts with JJ Ercse pulling out a classic hat trick in KT100 winning both heats and an exciting main event. The Kid on the other hand struggled with handling from hot laps onwards making big setup changes between every session but never finding the comfort zone. The night with DNF in the main due to a broken header pipe.

Huge thanks to Sam Gentry for loaning tires and busting knuckles during my setup scramble. Atta boy to Mike Callahan for being part of the team and helping keep the Kid cool during the struggle. And congratulations to Rodney Argo for a sweep of thee SBO class for the night.

Team Destiny finally put together the double podium we've been shooting for since The Kid rejoined the LO206 Masters category again mid-season 2023. Or I should say, The Kid finally carried his weight and climbed to the podium to join The Legend #29 Sean Fite. After skipping Saturday qualifying to celebrate the wife's birthday The Kid started at the back of the heat race and worked up to a P4 finish while The Legend claimed his 3rd pole of the season and won the heat in another tight 4-kart race. The main was another spirited battle with The Kid passing defending champion Jose de Silva with 2 to go for P3 and The Legend passing Matt Steele for P1 on finale lap. Hopefully Team Destiny Racing can crowd the podium a few more times this 2024 Tri-C Karters racing season.

The Tri-C Karters 2023 season round 3 is in the books and The Legend Sean Fite was in the thick of it all day. It was a 3 horse race in pre-main and main event between S-
Squared drivers Jose de Silva and Lukas and our Destiny Racing hot shoe.

We got a special treat during Friday and Saturday practice plus race day Sunday with the nearby March AFB airshow. Some aircraft buzzed the Apex crowd at low altitude banks where you could literally see the pilot in the cockpit. ABSOLUTELY AWSOME.

The Kid was parked again but working hard to get back in the seat soon.

On to round 4 in May back at Apex.

Tri-C Karters round 2 summary.

A slight sprinkle developed an hour before our main event. No problem. A half hour before our group 8 main the group 7 main was declared a " rain race". Now we have a problem! We hustled around the paddock but couldn't find any rain tires so we chose to start on slicks and see how it goes. No problem.

What a show the #29 driver put on against the 7 other LO206 Masters running on rain tires! Smartly dropping from his P3 starting position to the back of field at the start Sean Fite skated around for 18 of the 20 laps without impeding the competition, never dropping a wheel and never spinning while often in full opposite lock to navigate corners like driving on ice.

We hoped the light rainfall would cease and give us a drier track for a fighting chance but Mother Nature chose otherwise. Even though he was passed by the leaders twice and conditions were deteriorating quickly our guy was "Too Legit to Quit" and finished under the checkered flag.

A legend is born.

Tri-C Karters Club Series 2023 Round Two rolling off P3 in main event.

The kid spent Saturday driving the Destiny Racing #29 LO206 at Adam's Motorsports Park in their new 4-cycle series. Met my goals of seat time completing every lap and got in a good workout to stay in shape for the upcoming Tri-C Karters season round 1. Didn't get as much close racing as I wanted but brought the kart home in one piece.

Shout out to KC Cook KCR for great pointers and help with tires.

Next stop Apex track for TaG Grand Masters competition.

Time for a little more Destiny Racing eye candy. Another great set of wraps from Brian and Jessica Pappalardo at Pistonbones. Enjoy
