Second Race

We were unable to get to the track for Points Race 2 because the Crew Chief had some company training he had to attend out of town.  Anyway, we were back at the track for Points Race 3 and enjoyed terrific weather with clear skies, sunshine and moderate temps in the upper 60s.  Here is Lian waiting for the start of Heat 2, sitting on the top of the seat back.

While Lian's lap times had gotten quicker as she gained experience, the same happened with the other rookies and the opportunities to pass became fewer.  She started in the back of Heat 1 and finished 3rd of 5.  She started on the pole of Heat 2 and finished 3rd of 5.  In the feature, Lian started 4th and finished 4th on the lead lap.

Lian had her big brother Tyler in town this weekend and he helped out both in practice and race day with moving the kart, cleaning tires and other odd jobs.  Here is a picture of the two of them.

All the other kids in her class (and several from other classes too) were often in the adjacent field playing football between events.  We really had fun with the other racing families - helping each other, encouraging the kids and just visiting.
