We got our new 2008 Falcon and it's almost finished....

The numbers show up much better in the daylight....




Devin went up to York's tonight and picked up the body.....Damn the graphics look good....He did a killer job...We owe a big thanx to York. Devin worked his butt off at Thunder pitting for them and York returned the favor....He just had to mount the body as soon as he got back to the shop...Here are some pics I took tonight.

We got our 2008 Falcon ordered....

It's pretty much the same as our 06 that we just sold....We just wanted a new one for next years WKA races....I hope to get atleast one race on the kart before we head to Daytona.


I called about staying at the same condo this year that we stayed in last year.....It was already booked.....I asked her to please call if the other party backed out....She called about a week ago, we got the same place we had last year.....Here is a pic Jennifer took the morning we left.....If the weather is half as good as it was last year it will be great.

This looks like it could be a fun class.....

WKA Kart Nationals.....Dexter Raceway

Good run for us....Qualified 6th out of 18....Much better than we did at Daytona. I was pretty close on my guess for pole in Stocklite.....McDonald set pole with a 12.782....I guessed 12.70. To bad he was lite at the scales....Tippons was to and that jumped us up to 6th with a 13.064.....Right behind Thompson who had a 13.048....Very good qualifying run....Got hung-up on the outside after moving to 5th....Ended up finishing 11th....The crowds were huge and we are looking forward to Daytona.


Qualifying....


Race results....

Dawgwood Speedway 8th points race......

Karting is alive and well at Dawgwood....This was the first time we were back at a points race since the 3rd one....We were only there to get a few practice laps in to check out the new motor before the Nationals next weekend....They had a huge crowd....Most points series entries fall off toward the end but not at Dawgwood....There were more karts not less and U better bring your "A" game if wanna win....Toughest competition in the Southeast.....Below are some pics and videos I took while enjoying the night off from racing.
