ANOTHER NICE DAY OF WEATHER. LOTS OF SUN (PARTLY CLOUDY) AND LOW 70S. TOTAL ENTRIES ARE FAR SHORT OF USUAL WITH ABOUT 40 KARTERS. MY WALLET TELLS ME THAT THERE ARE A LOT MORE VENDORS WITH ATTRACTIVE STUFF THAN USUAL. IT'S WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM IS ON FULL SPEED THIS WEEKEND.
THE RACES WENT OFF SMOTHLY WITH NO INJURIES. ON THE REMARKABLE NEWS FRONT, SMOKEY COMPLETED HIS FIRST EVER LAP AT BARNESVILLE. HE ALSO COMPLETED HIS FIRST EVER LAP ON A HORNET KART. A TIP OF SMOKEY'S HAT GOES OUT TO THE PAPA SMURF C OPEN DRIVERS FOR AVOIDING ME AS I FUMBLED AROUND THE TRACK DURING THE FIRST HEAT. ONLOOKERS TELL ME I DID GET THE CHECKERED FLAG WHICH PLACED ME FIRST (AND LAST) IN B OPEN. IT'S A BIT PAINFUL TO FAIL TO DRIVE BACK TO THE PITS UNDER YOUR OWN POWER ON A TWIN, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE PROBLEMS SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF FOR TOMORROW. SOME PREVIOUSLY SECRET ADJUSTMENTS HAVE BEEN REVEALED THAT SHOULD CLEAR UP ALL THE PROBLEMS. EXCEPT FOR THE FACT IT'S BEEN 45 YEARS SINCE I DROVE A TWIN ENGINE KART.
SATURDAY'S EXCELLENT FORECAST HAS BEEN HEDGED A BIT WITH A POSSIBLE 40% CHANCE OF RAIN. THE CONSENSUS SO FAR IS THAT THIS HAS BEEN SOME OF BEST BARNESVILLE RACE WEATHER IN RECENT MEMORY. WE CAN HOPE THE GLOOMY PART OF THE FORECAST IS AS WRONG AS MOST RECENT POLING ORGANIZATIONS.
