Wow, what a great experience. 2 heats, 1 feature. 2 DNFs. Ha!
First race I was with the pack, someone spun out in front of me, and bumped my wheel. Knocked my steering shaft out of the pillow block. My fault for not having a bolt through it or having it pinned. I fixed it with a lock collar. Second heat starting on pole, running good till I spun out, then after catching back up I lost my left rear wheel, hub and all. I found out later that everyone tapes the key stock in place ? I should have had a snap ring on the end of the axle. Finished the feature but kart was way loose and I had to use too much brake to corner, but I finished and it felt great. Best part of the night ? loaning my chain tool to a fellow racer. geo
