Hey Harvey Lee

[Papa Grump]

Megan got her first win ever in the karts today at Waseca, classic drag race to the finish line with Megan pulling ahead at the flag. Krissy got wrecked in the 1st heat race, broke the nose cone and the nerf bar got bent into the rear tire so bad the rim got bent, but with a bunch of help from the other Arlington kart families, we got her out there for the feature in the back of the pack and she worked her way up to 3rd. Dan Griep won his class too! Good day all around for the Arlington racing gang.

I don't have any close up pics of the karts themselves, but if you do a search for kart racing in Minnesota, there is several tracks in the state:Arlington, Blue Earth, Tanners Lake, Atwater, Ceder Mills, Golden Spike Speedway, Alexandria are a few of the dirt tracks that come to mind. We race Arlington on Saturdays and Tanners Lake on Sundays. Spendy sport to be in for just a trophy, but after a day like today, it's all worth it just to see the grin from ear to ear on the kids, and the adults as well.I'll take some pics of the karts this week and post them.

pricey! i have drag raced but mainly was into ice racing

on the st croix by bayport years ago. the GD seems to be a

good racing prodigy..
