This was our first money race! We really didn't know what to expect. When we got to the track there were only 3 karts signed up for the race which guaranteed $300 to win. Looked pretty bad for the track but pretty good for us!
We qualified fastest of the 3 karts so we got the pole. By race time there were 2 more entries for a total of 5. This was a 30 lap race so my crew chief made sure that the tank was real full. Wrong! The first 3 laps I sputtered around the track while everybody passed me by. Seems the fuel was splashing up on the gas cap and wouldn't let any air in the tank. Finally, the motor kicked in and I raced up to second before I ran out of time.
Sam, the track owner, was true to his word and paid out the full purse. We won $175! Now let's see we spent... Oh well, we still had fun!
Thanks Sam for a great race!
