THE MORNING WAS SUNNY BUT BRISK AND CHILLY. UNFORTUNATELY, THE SUN SLOWLY DISAPPEARED AND IT GOT A BIT COLDER. DESPITE BOB B'S PLEA THAT THE RACE ISN'T WON ON THE FIRST LAP, THERE WERE LOTS OF TANGLES IN THE FIRST TURN AND ELSEWHERE. THE SMOOTH NEW SURFACE AND THE LOWER TRACTION ON THE COLD TRACK GENERATED A LOT MORE RED FLAGS THAN I HAVE SEEN BEFORE AT BARNESVILLE. THERE WERE SOME CLOSE CALLS BUT FORTUNATELY IT LOOKS LIKE NO MAJOR INJURIES SO FAR.
VINCE K WAS SIDELINED WHEN HE FORGOT TO BRING THE EXTRA AXLE CLUTCHES AND PARTS HE AND I PILED UP. I DNFD IN BOTH HEATS DUE TO LACK OF ATTENTION TO DETAIL. TOO MUCH TIME DEVOTED TO MY MOM'S ESTATE IN OHIO AND NOT ENOUGH TO A RATHER BASIC SPORTSMAN A.
A TIP OF SMOKEY'S HAT TO MR. MAX TORQUE FOR GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY. SEAN K BUILT A MAC FOR HIS GIRLFRIEND TO RUN IN HER FIRST KART EXPERIENCE. IT HAD A PROBLEM THAT LEFT ME AMAZED. JIM FIXED IT RIGHT UP AND SEAN'S LADY HAS HAD HER FIRST BARNESVILLE RIDE.
THE TURNOUT IS VERY SIMILAR TO LAST YEAR. LAST YEAR HAD OVER 80 ENTRIES. THIS YEAR STANDS AT 86.
IT MAY GET DOWN IN THE 30S TONIGHT WITH LITTLE HOPE OF GETTING OUT OF THE 50S TOMORROW.
