Good Morning Vt Shifter Karts Family,

Mother Nature gave us a beautiful night for kart racing at Rocky Ridge.  With 57 karts in the pits preparing for competition, it was sure to have some level of excitement.  The L206 Jr class have been preparing for their 20 minute Boulder Endurance race and tonight was their night to shine.   We seem to have the bugs worked out of the announcing over the PA system and the FM 99.1 simultaneously.    With spectators welcome for FREE admission,,  the front stretch hill and the backstretch hill seem to be filling up.  I noticed a group of atv riders that brought their grill and tailgated at the race last night. 

The racing was really good with many moments of our young drivers showing off their skills.  The L206 Jr class,,   with winner crossed the line  .061 ahead of the second place kart,     In all the other classes they enjoyed extended laps for their feature events as well.   All in all, it was an exciting night at the track with some high points,, and of course it would be racing if you didn’t have some low points…….

Good Morning Vt Shifter karts Family,

Mother nature finally gave us a beautiful night to race.  It sure want without rain mid afternoon to cause us to question our decision to race,   but what a great night for racing.  A big THANK YOU to Brent Curtis for announcing our event last night.   He did a great job and it certainly improved the spectator experience.   We did learn I have a little work to do on the fm signal and the pa system..  We were able to find the trouble spots and we know what to do to fix them. 

Racing was great all night,,   it was a great night to finish under the lights.   Our Senior Briggs L206 A and B classes rand their Boulder Endurance 20 min race.  The Senior A class ran 68 laps and the Senior B class ran 67 laps,  and that is a lot of racing.  Usually I am watching drivers pace themselves so they don’t get to tired..  I didn’t see much pacing,, I saw all out hard racing and it was great to watch.

Good Morning Vt Shifter Karts Family,

This past Wed. June 16, 2021, the weather couldn’t have been any better. There was a huge crowd of spectators, the food at the concession stand was great, and with 51 karts in the pits there was an expectation that racing would be great as well.

We did have a pa announcer for the first time in a while, a HUGE THANK YOU  to Richard Wobby for stepping up and offering to help out.   For his first time calling racing of any kind he did an outstanding job.  This must be a huge improvement for the spectator experience to know who is in each kart,  what part of Vermont the driver is from.   More importantly,  the age group of some of these young drivers.
