Nicholas Monte Makes His Return to Karting

09.19.09 -  Nicholas Monte made his return to kart racing in the 80 cc Cadet class after being sidelined for two months with a broken right foot. The Saturday Sprint Schedule allows for several rounds of practice which allowed Nicholas an opportunity to get back into the swing of driving. 

The starting order for Race 1 would be determined based on peapick and Nicholas would start in the back of the field. Nicholas would work his way up through the field aided by an early race crash and by lap 7 was in second place. While charging to the front, Nicholas slid through one of the turns and would finish Race 1 in third place. 

The starting order for Race 2 would be set by inverting the

starting order from Race 1. Nicholas would start in the pole position and would lead Lap 1 of the race. At Lap 3 an overaggressive competitor attempted a pass at the end of the straightaway, that sent Nicholas into the barriers and taking him out of contention for the race. We were all extremely disappointed that what appeared to be a good return to racing ending this way. 

Our next event is scheduled for Sunday, October 18th at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, Ny.

During one of the practice sessions, Anthony felt something strange with his kart and pulled off the track. It was the right decision as his brake disk started to come loose and was rubbing against the caliper. With the assistance of two fellow competitors, the braking system was repair and Anthony was able to go out for the last practice session to ensure everything was working properly.

Nicholas would start the race from the Pole Position, but would slip back to 3rd at the end of the long straightaway. While trying to catch the leaders, Nicholas was bumped from behind in one of the turns which would send him spinning off the track. After regaining control of the kart Nicholas was given his position back but unfortunately would finish in 4th place.
