It was a great weekend at Route 1 Raceway. We had been struggling with a handling issue early this season but after some chassis adjustment help from AJ Thompson at No Limit Karts & Parts we had Ryker’s Ultramax Racing Evolve back on point, turning fast lap times all weekend! After going 1/2 in the heat races on Friday night we rolled off second for the feature. Ryker battled for the lead early but would have to settle for P2.
Saturday was the 5th Annual Stew Massender Memorial Race. Ryker started his morning at 6:15am out of the motorhome, hard at work to get his kart ready to go for the day. After going 1/3 in the heats we rolled off 2nd for the 35 lap feature. The green flag dropped and Ryker took the lead coming out of turn 2 and went on to lead 34 of the 35 laps, including the most important lap 35, bringing home the checkers! There was lots of tight racing and Ryker crossed the finished line with the always fast 15W right on his bumper.
It is always a pleasure to participate in this event where the crew at Route 1 Raceway does a fantastic job of honouring the memory of Stew. We would like to thank all of our sponsors who help us get to the track each week and all of those who jumped on board to help make this event a success and provide some of the best payouts seen in kart racing. Hanging the big cheque and Memorial Flag in the shop means a lot to our team.
Our little buddy Brooks took to the track this weekend in our other kart in the future driver class. He is getting faster each time he hits the track and got his first heat race win this weekend!!
We couldn’t do what we do without those that help us each week in the shop and at the track!
