karting round 3


Tonight was round 3 of the PCA Karting Championship. I was leading after round 1 but didn’t show up for round 2. The format tonight was heat racing. Instead of 2 or 3 races of decent length we have a whole bunch of 10 lap races with random starting positions. I like this format because they are fast and aggressive races with lots of passing. Normally I might start 3rd or 4th with people next to me running almost the exact same lap times. The random grids of heat racing means you could start in last position and still be the fastest person in the race. 

I didn’t have too good of luck tonight. I don’t think I made one legitimate pass in all of my races. I got by a few people who made mistakes but because of either my crappy kart draw or traffic I had difficulty moving forward. A little frustrating but racin' is always fun. I think I ended up in 6th place for the night. Results will be posted here at some point in time but I won’t be near the top after missing last round.
