Probably next year, plan to start running more 2-cycle stuff, Anderson Race Park in Palmetto, and OGP in Ocala. Lots of great tracks in FL.

We passed a few of the Indycar haulers on the way home last night. We honked :)

Very very cool!!! I watched the whole thing and I do have to admit to having my eyes water a bit on that last lap...

We're also a racing ramily, we race BMX on a National level... myself a 41+ Expert, my Daughter (12 Girls), Son Dare (9 Expert), other Son Egan (6 Rookie)... and my wife cheers us all on.

It is the coolest thing watching your kids progress through a sport... that moment that you can tell that they were listening, learning and actually working towards a goal.

Congrats to your son and you! Thank you for sharing the moment with all of us!!! Too cool...

You got me.

awesome video. congrats to you and the boy.


that pass was Epic.

Everything about this post was dead on.

That was truly cool.

Did he ever race at South Park in Quincy, IL? I loved going to the cart races they have each summer.

I have absolutely ZERO interest in NASCAR or Indy Car, but that was AWESOME! Congrats to you and your son! So cool that you get to have that video too!

Added the heat race video, wow.. I didn't see what happened at the end of the straight on the last lap, pretty amazing control considering he was going around 60 when he got pushed off in the dirt. Leading is not the place to be on the last lap :)

dt, ever hear or race against a kid named Hunter Baize ? He is a local guy here in Ky that has won out there on the track. I use to work with his dad and grandfather, good people and close friends.

BTW, Congrats on the win. Yes it is expensive.

Not as much as racing is, but so is travel basketball year round, going to tournaments 2 to 3 times a month and the Nationals add up.

Do those karts ever flip over? That's some serious speed they're putting out there entering those turns!

They're very hard to flip because the center of gravity is so low, but it's possible and it happens.

Most people don't understand how tiring racing like that is. You're constantly fighting the g's exerted on you when you try to take the proper line during those turns at the highest possible speed.

Yeah, i saw something about his big win. Here he is making the final pass to overtake the lead.
