Wow!!! What an outstanding day!
The boys raced for the first time ever on the road course at Flat Rock Speedway with the Thunderbird Kart Club.
The First thing we did was walk the track with Paul B. crew chief extraordinaire at Raging Eagle Racing (pic1,2)
They race a few different types of Karts here at all skill levels (pic3)
After walking the track we started getting the karts and the drivers ready to go! (pic4,5)
Getting the racers on the grid for the first time was barely controlled chaos (pic6,7)
But after they were on the track, it was like both boys had been doing this for a really long time. (pic 8,9.5, 9, 10.5, 10)
They ran two practices and 3 races. Of the 3 races Michael won 2 and Robert won 1. (in all fairness to Robert, he had engine trouble in race two and a tire go down in race three... Good Training!!)
There is a fair amount of work in between to get the karts ready for the next heat race, but it was an absolute blast, so it's fun for Dad too (pic11)
And a good (and tiring) time was had by all!! (pic12)
