October 2023 – Vt Shifter Karts

Good Afternoon Vt Shifter Karts Family,

Mother nature is reminding us that it is that Fall Season. With temperatures in the upper 40s and lots of heavy gray clouds in the sky, we were able to get our 8^th event of the season completed before the rain arrived. With 46 karts in the pits, it was a little light on kart count, but the quality of racing on the track sure was amazing. Our newest, largest, youngest group of racers,, the L206 Kids B class, well they just are amazing. Earlier in the year this young group of rookie racers took over 25 minutes to run a 12 lap heat race. Today, they ran their entire 30 lap Endurance race from green to checkers in 17 minutes with no yellow flags. The level of improvement for this age group has truly been amazing to watch.

Thank you to Cleveland Quality Care from Greensboro, Vt for their sponsorship. Your contribution truly does make a difference.

This does conclude our 2023 Race Season. I will turn my attention to a date for a banquet next, Oh yes and the points for the 2023 season to determine who our 2023 Track Champions / King of the Ridge will be.

A HUGE THANK YOU to all of the track workers who gave up 8 Sundays so we could enjoy racing. We are lucky to have so many dedicated track workers and many more dedicated families that support our little race track at Rocky Ridge Raceway.
