I went kart racing for the second time in nine months and the first time with the PCA League since last year. After I broke my collar bone I never went back. I was supposed to do an enduro at Summit last fall but never made it. I was looking forward to getting back out on the track but a little worried about keeping up with the regulars after all this time.
I guess they have had a decent turn out during the off season and the first round of the championship. My first night out was the second round. I was happy with how things went.
They changed the track layout which is something they started doing a year or so ago. This was to my advantage because even though I knew the original layout I haven't been on it in 9 months and don't have the edge. On a new layout we will all have to learn the little tricks to going fast. We had 5 quick slippery laps to qualify and I did well at 5th out of 20.
I didn't do so well in the race. I had trouble keeping up and finished 6th. The next race I ended up with a very fast kart. I only managed to get 5th place but I ran the fastest lap of the night so far. This allowed me to start the last race in first position. Thankfully everyone fought behind me for the first half of the race and I had a decent lead by the time they started coming after me. They were reeling me in but they ran out of laps and I won the race.
Not a bad for my return to racing.
