Prep Work

Sorry, I've been slacking on posts lately. No excuses. Here's a couple photos from about a week ago. Richard prepping a ledge while I test the lighting and an icepick on said ledge.

Bike Jam



We had a little bike jam yesterday at the skatepark in Forest Glade. Not too much to write about...just lots of seagulls and even more bees.

End of the Season


Monday night was the final points race of the season at the kart track. After four months of racing many drivers were still close in points. I myself was just aiming to keep a spot in the top ten. I haven't seen the final point standings but I figured I ended up tied for 8th out of about 45 karts.


I was happy with my top ten finish in my first year back in a kart in about ten years. Almost all the karts in the top ten had much more horse power then our modest near stock Honda clone 6.5hp engine.


I shot more photos than I usually do on a Monday. I enjoy taking photos at the track but I usually don't have the time to do a lot of photography if there's work to be done on our kart. But this week the kart ran great, and I stayed out of trouble on the track.



As the season went on the word spread about the track and each week more and more spectators showed up. This week there had to be at least 300 people in the audience and that's not including the people in the pits.





After the drivers meeting we had all the drivers assemble on the track for a class photo. I set the 10 second timer and jumped into the photo at the far right.


Now we move to Saturday afternoons until the end of October for fun racing and testing for the 2010 season.
