MOST OF THE TRACK WAS STILL WET WHEN THEY STARTED PRACTICE AT 8:30 AM. I ONLY SPOTTED THREE REAL KARTS AMONG THE TATER DIGGERS, SHIFTERS, AND STUFF I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT. THE WIND KEPT PICKING UP, THE SKY LOOKED BAD, AND IT WAS GETTING COLDER. I RETREATED TO THE WARMTH OF THE MONSTER TRUCK.
AFTER A SNACK AND READING THE LOCAL PAPER, I DECIDED TO HEAD HOME INSTEAD OF HOLDING OUT HOPE THEY WOULD ACTUALLY GET TO RACE. I CAME AWAY WITH SOME IMPRESSIONS OF THE OVERALL WEEKEND THAT FALL INTO THREE CATEGORIES.
THE GOOD.
ON CERTAIN DAYS YOU COULD BUY 110 OCTANE LEADED RACING GAS. IN THIS ERA OF JUNK METAL EATING GAS, THAT IS PRETTY SPECIAL.
WKA WAS FORTUNATE TO LINE UP A BUNCH OF FRIENDLY VOLUNTEERS TO HELP MAKE PARKING, ENTRY, ETC. MORE PLEASANT AND EFFICIENT THAN USUAL.
THE BAD.
THE "RACING" WAS REALLY BORING. WITH NO ONE TO ROOT FOR OR AGAINST IT WAS HARD TO BE INTERESTED IN MOST OF THE KARTS RUNNING SINGLE FILE AROUND 3+ MILES.
THE UGLY.
IT WAS OVER $400 TO SIGN UP TO RACE. 2 STROKE RACERS COULD ONLY USE CERTAIN BRANDS OF OIL APPROVED BY WKA!
THE WEATHER. THIS IS USUALLY THE DRY SEASON, BUT NOT THIS TIME.
SMOKEY
