Route 66 Series
It felt good to be home this past weekend! Racing the route 66 series at my home track helped elevate me in the points standings. I qualified third, finished the prefinal in third and finished the final in second. See below for the news article:
As if he hadn’t raced enough classes, Erdmann then took part in the Adkins Speed Center Yamaha Supercan Lite group of sixteen racers. Erdmann barely edged Mike Welsh for the pole by .02 of a second in qualifying. Welsh, Erdmann and Tony Velez finished nose to tail in the prefinal to determine the final starting order. About the only thing that had a shot at derailing Erdmann was a first lap crash and that’s exactly what got him. With the dew setting in on the track, a couple of karts got together in turn two, and Welsh simply pulled away from this mess. Welsh looked to be the class of the field and probably didn’t need the help, but it never hurts. With several karts scrambling to get going again, it really spaced the field out, with Tony Velez coming home second, about three seconds behind Welsh. Becky Kaestner, who nearly lost a chain while scrambling to get going again, brought home third, followed by Steve Schiewer, and Patrick Reilly.
