Jim Brannon has been chasing gremlins all weekend,  Chuck Bunnell only had the one qualifying session as practice, he was busy flagging the event, and Mark Croslyn rolling in late Friday night...

Qualifying was un eventful, I believe Jim Brannon had to sit that one out, Chuck Bunnell using that only session to try some new equipment that turned out to be faulty, so it was any easy ride for Chris Reinhardt to take pole for the Satuday Pre-Final....

Jim Brannon         No Time.

Saturday Pre-Final was pretty uneventful as well, Chuck again busy flagging was unable to race in the pre-final, Jim seem to get a handle on he troubles and had what was his best laps of the weekend so far.

The final race on Sunday saw a lengthy delay after the class that was first race on Sunday, required an Medivac for an injured driver.  We were scheduled for last race before lunch break, we ended up running after lunch.  Dart kart club had to cut the running time for each race in half due to the down time required to safely clear the track.  Our thoughts go out to the injured driver as we hope for a speedy recovery, and hats off to DKC and track personnel for getting everything taken care of.

So, race was pretty uneventful, Marc Croslyn II broke a piston in the morning warm up and was unable to repair in time, Chuck Bunnell being the official flag man, could not leave his post due to the earlier days events,   That left Jim Brannon and Chris Reinhardt to fight it out in the ICE class.... 

There was a clean start, about a 10 lap or so sprint race, Chris Reinhardt in the CR2 MotorSports CRF450 powered Cobalt out to an early lead, that was never challenged.  Reinhardt won the pole, Pre-Final, and Final for a perfect weekend.
