This weekend was the Route 66 Regional Series at 61 Kartway in Iowa.  This was my first time there.  I got in 2 1/2 practice rounds before qualifying.  I qualified 3rd overall and was off the track record by 4 tenths of a second.  I fell back in the prefinal due to what I though was a right rear tire going flat.  I finished 5th in the prefinal.  Then in the final I fell back one more spot due to a crazy tight condition.  I was hopping all over the track.  I finished 6th in the final.  NEXT TIME!!!

This past weekend was the Midwest Sprint Series in Shawano, WI.  This track was totally awesome.  It had elevation changes and a lot of technical corners.  It was my first time there.  I qualified 13th out of 21 drivers.  Top 5 qualifiers were a second better than the rest of the field.  The rest of us were very close.  Just a few 10th off of each other.  In the final, my kart was so tight I couldn't drive it.  I finished where I started, 13th.  I'll get them next time in Dousman, WI.
