This weekend we raced at Sugar hill speedway. This weekend it was the Fall Classic so it was a huge race people all the way from Connecticut come to race and watch this race!! About one hundred and four Karts were at the track so it was jammed packed with Thirty foot trailers when the time for the Fall Classic people don't mess around!! Our first practice went as well as it could have ever it was so far the best practice with awesome times!! Our second practice went more awesome I was humming ( to see what I mean by humming watch Driven the movie)!! Then as I was getting out of my car I heard a crashing sound I looked over and saw a tiger sprint go kart go nose over tail three times and then hit the wall with extreme force. I was amazed by the damage on that car amazingly there was Only a few dents and spots where paint chipped. Then we had our drivers meeting which went pretty good. Followed by our drivers meeting we had our time trials so we got ready and went out for time trials. Once they posted the times on the board we found out we qualified second to the #99 car the same guy I won to last year it was like a blast from the past!! Pretty soon we were getting ready and we were ready to go green flag racing. I got out onto the track and we lined up then the green flag waved and we went underway immediately the #60 jumped out in front followed by the #99 we ran third till lap nine when I dived underneath the #99 and took second back!! We went single file as the #60 and I pulled away. Then out of no where a car spun and was taken off the track that brought the cation out after we were all lined up we went green and immediately again the #60 pulled away to half a track. As I came around the corner we received five to go and boy did I fly I made up half a track in four laps then on white flag going into three I dived down low and took the lead but then the #60 made the same move on me as we got closer to the checkered he pulled a little bit a head and boy it was close we came in second by less than a car length!!! It was the best finish we ever had that we were competitive in!! It was an spectacular finish. Special thanks to Meme, Bubba, Uncle Ron, Aunt Julie, and Aunt Margaret who came and supported us. Another special thanks to our other sponsors who sponcered us all year Office Environments, E and S Insurance, Gamens Outdoor Property Services, New England Karting Center, Meme and Bubba, Nana and Papa, the Frenches and my pit crew and back up pit crew (Uncle Kirk).
