Stirling Lubricant presents Champion Racing Oil Weekly Karting Series had a high car count of 48 karts. Thursday July 22nd was a cool and breezy day. We had a powder puff race for girls that had never raced before and that was entertaining as 9 competed for the $50 prize donated by Sunset Stylz. At least half had NEVER been in a go kart before but they all did a great job. Tanya Bills drove the number 3 and won the feature. Brooke Moden, Krista Duhow, Amy Korte, Taylor Knox, Mariah Maines, Samantha Pierce, Patty Susice and Megan Johannes partook in the race. They ran 10 laps and I think it’s safe to say they all had fun.
Just Signs and Designs Novice class had nine drivers compete for the win. It was a rough night for this class as the 20 minute time was utilized after several cautions and bad restarts and trying to line everyone up. Amelia Westlake ended up winning Diapolo and Guyette rounded out the top 3. Porter, Just, Paonessa, Stewart, Soliday and Bonsky completed the field.
Junior two Jeffery Machine almost went green to checker. On lap 7 there was debris in turn one which ended up being the metal chain guard on the Paonssa machine and for safety reasons he had to go off the track. That gave the battle for the win between Blose and Bills. At the end it was Luke Blose in for the win and Brayden Bills for 2nd.
