The day finally came - March 28th, 2010 Citizens Bank Park - Logan finally made his racing debut!! We had bought him a 2008 Coyote Kid Kart last summer, which is powered by a Comer C50 (50cc) and he his competing in SCCA's Formula Junior C (FJC) class. All summer and fall I have taken him out to empty parking lots and setup small Solo courses for him to get used to the kart and also to teach him the basic of autocross. He seems to really, really enjoy it and loves driving the kart.
He had been dying to start racing... He kept asking when his would race for real. Finally the day came and he was beyond excited, even at 5:30 Sunday morning when I woke him up to get him ready to head out to CBP.
When the time came he couldn't wait to hop in the kart. After getting him suited up, helmet and gloves on off he went. He was a little hesitant his first run but, improved with each run. He improved 20 seconds from his 1st run to his 4th run!!! In fact he even recognized that he went off course and asked to help him figure it out :-) Turned out he was only going off course at one turn, which is very impressive given the size of the course.
Anyway, here are his runs from the event:
