Shell Shocked Racing

Day 3 - Skipped the warm-up session to save the kart. The way our luck was for the past two days. We didn't want to risk it. Lined up 21st for the prefinal. Lap 1, turn 4. A bumper tip was put into our LF wheel and broke the valve stem. We pulled off with a flat tire and settled for a 31st place finishing position.

We had absolutely nothing to lose starting in 31st in a 31 kart field. Our driver went out to get the best finishing position he could. The backup kart and engine were nearly perfect. He drove a great race advancing 17 positions in the 16 lap race.

Runs like that ease the frustration of the rest of the event for sure. It was a great finish for us after the event we had.

A full event wrap-up with additional pictures coming soon.

Day 2, Practice and two heats. Here's hoping for a better day today. We qualified 20th out of 31 times. Dry today, sun is shining.
