WKC Race 1 at Shenandoah Circuit, Summit Point, West Virginia
This weekend was the Woodbridge Karting Club's first race of the 2013 season. I've already been to two WKA events this year. This race was at the Shenandoah Circuit at the Summit Point racetrack in West Virginia. This is the most technical course i've been on this year. At the same time i was racing, the SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) was having a double major for the D.C. region. I had some time to watch, and that was very interesting. The cars ranged from Formula Vees, to Chevrolet Corvettes, to Nissan 370Zs, to Mazda Miatas, and even a Dodge Neon. This provided entertainment when i wasn't on track.
When i was on track, however, i was having a blast. All of Saturday morning was practice, and i learned the track quickly. The Shenandoah course has lots of elevation changes, and even a Nurburghring banked turn replica, though WKC opted not to use it. The Northeast Shifter Kart series raced alongside us, and provided a different noise then the standard whine of the 2 cycle and the grumble of the Animal 4 Cycles.
I won my race on Saturday, though what is really fun is racing alongside adults in different classes who really knew what they were doing. I spend most of the 25 minute race with an adult in a Vintage kart and a kid my age in a sit-up sprint kart. Neither was in my class, but they were fun to race with, especially the Vintage kart.
I didn't practice today, but i did race and win. I was with the same kid this time for a little while, but got around him early. I also raced with an adult in a kart kind of like mine, though i don't know what class he was in.
I write this looking back on the weekend as we drive back home through West Virginia on Interstate 81. It was a great weekend, and i look forward to my next race, a WKA event at Grattan Raceway in
Michigan, in two weeks.
Note: I did not go around the Karussel area, i skipped it with the Karussel Crossover.

Summit Point, West Virginia
As some of you know, i race in the WKA's Road Race Series. I also race in the WKC (Woodbridge Karting Club). I leave in a few minutes for my first WKC race in Summit Point, West Virginia.
That's all for now, i race tomorrow an Sunday. Look for today's edition of Car News around three o' clock. Also, as a little teaser, i will be publishing a special edition of From the Passenger's Perspective in Mid-June. I'll give you a hint, it's an Alfa Romeo.
