The next stop in my kart racing career is here in a rolling green hills of southern Virginia right on the North Carolina border. I'm currently leading the championship points in the two classes I run, and i plan to maintain my lead into the final race of the season at Summit Point, West Virginia.
Today was practice for my races tomorrow and Sunday. WKA (the event, however, is run by the Woodbridge Kart Club) runs the full 3.27 mile course here at VIR, which is essentially a big triangle with some esses and hills thrown in. It's more fun then it sounds... As some of you may know, recently the iconic VIR Oak Tree, which looked over the hallowed Oak Tree turn at the south end of the course, fell down about a month ago.
Nevertheless, the track continues without its silent sentinel standing guard over the track.
Not much happened today in practice, i learned the track in the first two sessions, then my crew and I (namely my parents and I) wanted to find some more strait line speed, as there are three long straits on this course. We changed gears and such, found that my lap times actually went down. That's pretty much all that happened, other than the engine cutting out on the final series of corners.
I actually couldn't figure out a conclusion to this article other than"I hope I win". That should pretty much cover it.
