Fall Series - Whiteland Race 1
We are back! This weekend we particpated in the fall series at Whiteland. Andrew Morin, driving kart 41, qualified 4th, with Ryan O'Donnell right on his tail qualifing 5th in kart 7. Andrew had mechanical engine failure early in the sprint, causing him to retire, but Ryan raced his way up to his first podium with the team by finishing 3rd in the sprint!
Going into the final, the drivers were on both ends of the grid, with Ryan starting 3rd and Andrew in 13th. Unfortuantely, a racing incident ended the day for Ryan, however Andrew fougth his way through 10 positions to stand 3rd on the podium!
Overall, it was a good first race back with the team, but none of this would be possible without our sponsors and supporters. We would like to specificaly thank Veridian, Trane Technologies, Burris Optics, TBKart Midwest, and all Purdue Triangle Alumni for the continued support of our racing endeavors
67th Purdue Grand Prix
In the 67th Purdue Grand Prix, we ran two karts, the 7 and the 41, with Randall Hubbell in the 7 and Andrew Morin in the 41. Randall had managed to qualify 9th. While Andrew had some issues with the kart on qualifying so he had to make it in through the sprint heat. He had managed to make it in very easily by getting 1st place in his sprint race. This put him in 27th place to start. Randall had a great race ending up 7th. While Andrew had an amazing start to his race ending up 11th before having to do his pit stop. There in the pit stop he had a mechanical failure of his second fuel tank ending up taking him out of the race, which left him in 20th place.
