Lap records were dropping like crazy this weekend. The new MG greens were hooked up. I even ran a used set of MG FZ's (the new yellows) in one practice session and was amazed at the grip.

I qualified 8th in Masters with a 33.524 (pole was 32.942) and 16th in Moto with a 33.582 (pole was 32.833)

I turned a fast lap of 32.8 in the Masters race, finished fourth and got DQ'd for being 3lbs light >:

I turned a fast lap of 32.5 in the Moto race and finished 10th. Oh btw, I was 15lbs over at the scales for the Moto weigh in with the same kart and same amount of fuel. Go figure!!

Needless to say I was pissed as hell but driving home I thought to myself, there were some pretty bad wrecks and a lot of blown up motors...my stuff was still together and didn't have a scratch on it (well just one when I kissed the tech pro barrier with my rear wheel :lol ) and I was in one piece so what was I complaining about. I had the time of my life and beat some pretty good talent this weekend. It's all good.

Rock Island Grand Prix...it's the biggest street race in America (over 400 entries this year) and draws racers from overseas. It is also where SKUSA runs the King Of The Streets race...Kyle Weigand won again this year making it two in a row.....$3000 payday.
