Two races have past since our last entry, due to a flu bug that has been going around. A whole lot has happened since the start of the race season.To start with, we had a race on January 27 at Hobe Sound Speedway. It was an eventful day. We ran pretty decent in practice and the qualifying heats. When it came to the final heat it seems we just got a little ahead of ourselves. There were other classes of karts ahead of us, and it looked like a demolition derby, karts going all over the place, spreading hay all over the track. (They put hay in front of the tires to help the impact, and hoping to cause less damage to the go karts when they wreck.) They got the track cleaned up as well as they could and the Jr. Champ class took the track. There were six karts in all and we were on the Pole. The green came out and almost as soon as it came out the yellow flag appeared for a spinning kart coming out of turn four. After a pace lat we went green again for a couple of laps. In those couple of laps we fell to second. We went green again after another couple of pace laps.I had a good restart but it wasn't enough to over take the number 17. I tried high and  I tried low but couldn't get the force to over take him.  As we were rounding  turn 3 going in to turn 4  I tried to the high side again, but I got a little to high and my right tires got into the marbles on the top of the race track. (Marbles are little balls of rubber debris that settles on the top of the turns. When you hit them it's like you just hit a patch of ice in the road.) When I hit the marbles I lost it, spun around and slammed into the tires. I tried to finish the race but hitting those tires bent the front end up so bad the kart was un drivable. We took a last place finish packed up and went home to fix the damage. It was disappointing, but things happen. If stuff like this never happens, it means I'm not racing hard enough.

  Welcome race fans to the start of the 2007 racing season. We have just ran the first race of the season, at Hobe Sound Speedway. This is the first season that Wyld Bore Racing has ever raced on asphalt. Before this we ran on dirt/clay tracks around Florida. Coming into this weekend we did not have high expectations since it was a new track and a different racing surface we were used too. At the speedway, they run two practice heats, two qualifying heats, and the feature race. We did well in the practice heats, those are mainly so we can set up the kart for the qualifying and the feature. The qualifying went very well, the first heat Jonathon won, and the second heat he came in second, after avoid a couple of close calls with spinning karts. Doing so well gave the race team a morale boost, having not expected much, but to go out there and get a feel for the racing surface and the track itself. The driver did excellent adapting to the race track. The race feature went well too. Jonathon got the pole position, and when the green flag dropped he pulled to a five kart lead. He kept the lead for the majority of the race, until the handling of the kart went south. When he was avoiding the crashes in the qualifying heats he got into one of the other karts and knocked the front end of the kart out just enough to make it difficult for him to keep the kart on the track. After trying for so long fighting the handling muscle cramps and fatigue set in and also the handling reduced the speed. When the checkered flag flew Jonathon had lost two positions finishing third. All in all it was an excellent day at the race track. It being the first race out of the season and doing this well on a new track, the competition better watch out cause there is a WYLD BORE coming through!
