| | As a result of 9 broken bones in 5 years of MX, the most recent of which was a broken back last fall, we have taken a break from MX and starting Kart racing. First, we really miss MX, especially all our friends. It has been great to see some people come to Reids kart races to watch and for those of you who have, it really means a lot to him. He is racing at www.thunderingvalleyraceway.com in ST. Albans. It is a 1/5 mile tri-oval. They decided not to let him race in the first years racers class, which we weren't sure about as some of these kids have been racing for 5 plus years. Anyway, they put him in the Jr. Sportsman class. First heat race he gets 2nd. 30 lap final, finishes 2nd. 2nd week, same result. Saturday night, he won his Jr. Sportsman race after starting from the pole. So we decide to see if he can qualify for the Sportsman rally against the older kids. Green White Checker time trials. Top 12 Karts qualify. We changed the restrictor plate in his kart to a Gold plate (the correct one for this class) and out he goes. Turns fast lap of the day and gets the pole. Ends up winning the whole thing. Some headed were shaking afterwards. No doubt that the MX mentality is in his favor. Speed and contact seem like a non issue when you have 4 wheels and a cage around you. Hope everyone is having a fun and safe season and we hope to see you this Fall.
