First Practice
 |
| The old track. |
On
March 31st, volunteers came to help clean up the track so it can be
opened for the season. Tom and the boys went. Unfortunately, I had to
work so I couldn't come. The drivers or their families who helped clean
up the track get to practice on the track that day and the following day
for free. (There is a fee for each driver and the pit crew every time they come to practice or race.) After the clean up, Tom and the boys went
home and opted not to practice that day since I was not there.
We went to our first practice the next day. We arrived at the track around 10 a.m. Tom had to get some fuel (methanol) and borrow a starter. Connor and Colin took turns driving at the practice track, just across from the actual raceway. It's an older track that has not been used for races but for practices for those who are just starting and are not ready to go on the big track. It is also a much shorter track. Since this was the first time either boy got to drive the kart, we decided that they should warm up here before going on the big track. We stayed pretty much all day at this track with the boys taking turns on the kart and waiting for their turns on the track.
