🏁 RACE DAY RECAP | ROAD AMERICA – WEEKEND SERIES 🏁
The first Saturday points race we’ve attended ALL season, which means… THE BIG(ger) TRACK! 🏎️💨
We showed up with one goal: keep Landon’s skills sharp for the Enduro race at the end of the month. And while this layout is usually one of his favorites, today it quickly became our biggest enemy.
We just couldn’t seem to find the speed through the bigger section of the track, and that’s where we continued to lose time throughout the day. On top of that, Landon was coming off the track with a HOT axle every time, so Dad spent the day trying different things to help him find some speed and get the kart working better. 🔧
A random draw put us starting P6 in Heat 1 and P4 in Heat 2.
🔥 HEAT 1: P6 ➡️ P6
🔥 HEAT 2: An AMAZING start sent Landon straight to the lead for the first lap before eventually getting passed. P4 ➡️ up to P1 ➡️ finishing P3 *
🏁 FEATURE: P5 ➡️ up to P3 ➡️ finishing P6
Not the results Landon was looking for today, but sometimes race days are about working with what you’ve got. And Landon worked his butt off with the kart he had and the competition he was up against. 💪
Big track. Tough day. Valuable laps. 🏁💙💛
