Meadowview Kartway 07.21.2007

My first karting races at my 33rd track. A 1/5 mile dirt track (clay).

To show you how much racing there is in my area, I drove 10 miles to the track. I passed the stockcar track that I attended last night (Calumet Country Racing Association). I also passed a motocross track (Gravity Park).

The competition was closer than I thought it would be. There also were more karts racing than I would have guessed. Most features had around 6 karts.

The races were divided by age group. There were Kid Karts for age 5 to 7, Box Stock and Junior 2 for age 8 to 12, Junior 3 for age 12 to 15, and Animal Medium and Animal Heavy for age 15 on up. The Kid Karts don't race for points but the rest did.

The races started at 7:00. They had 2 rounds of heats for each division. After an intermission, they had feature events. They were done by 9:00. I never went to regular races that were done before it was black out before this.
