Not a good way to end our season. Championship night at the track. My daughters kart handled better than ever, then she blew her engine. Has a 2 inch hole in the block. This is her second engine in a month! This one only had about 4 nights on it.
My son did good as usual in his heat race, but his feature did not go well at all. An aggressive driver took him out before the green flag dropped. This kid has caused damage to his kart 3 times this season while under yellow flags, and took him completely out of a race once under a yellow flag. He is an aggressive driver, and a bully on the track. Every other driver has filed complaints about this kid with the track officials. Tonight during the pace laps he started ramming my son. I have no problem with bumper to bumper contact on a pace lap, but this kid was beside my son. He was swerving to the side and side swiping my sons kart. On turn 3 and 4 right before the green flag dropped he came down hard and shoved my son to the bottom of the track onto the berm. This little stunt cost us a spindle, a wheel, and 2 body panels. What was worse is it sent my son to the emergency room. He is not hurt bad, just bruised up bad. So, neither of my kids finished their feature races for the night. But it was a great season! My daughter got in 4 races for her first season and has found a new addiction. My son for his second season ended in second place in points.
