OVRP Dirt Oval Results

By: John Schoebel

 

This week there is no article to go along with the results however I did add some notes worth mentioning in under the specific class in which it happened.

 

The biggest news to make note of from this past weekend was the return of the Junior 2 class. Only 2 karts are currently running it, but there are more Junior Rookies with a blue plate! Hopefully this class will be able to grow again after all of the Junior 2 competitors from last season moved into Junior Stock.

 

 

Kid Kart:

1. (#88) Jason McGill (18.085)

2. (#77) MacKenzie Ross (17.909 – fastest lap of the race with an average speed of 40.203mph)

* Tyler hit the wall coming off of turn 2 in the 1st and 2nd practice. After the 2nd hit the kart was completely destroyed and he was too banged up to even try and race something else. After talking to his parents this week, he has bruises up and down his ribs and legs from the impact.

* This was the first night racing for George, Anthony, and Tyler.
