She doesn't usually like to help cause she is "too hot" or "too tired". But today she wanted to change the gear.
Dylan finishes just barely ahead of Hemi #3.
Time for weigh in...
Now back to our pit.
McKenzie pushes Zach to the lead in the Main.
Kenzie goes to second and then her chain comes off with 2 laps to go. Heartbreaking end to a great day of racing. Time for a new chain!
Towards the end of the race McKenzie battles Casey #33 for third place.
Dylan gets a good start and goes on to win the main! Hemi right behind him though. 
The kid karts recieve their medals.
It was a great day of racing.
Dylan (#6x) ran out front with Hemi (#3) most of the time. Then in the main he ran away with it! Here he is working through the field.
All of the kids getting their trophies. Dylan is third from the left.
He was proud of his performance. They selected the fastest 3 karts to go to tech inspection. I had to take the carb apart and verify the jet size. They inspected the spark plug, exhaust and gear ratio. He passed.
McKenzie got confidence with the "Sick" configuration. She started in 3rd postion in the Main. She pushed Zach (#25) into the first corner and then took second and stayed there the entire race! She was pretty excited to place second on her own. She drove perfectly considering the very difficult corner at the end of the backstretch!
Here she is pushing down the straightway.
McKenzie's friend AJ Ottley came with us. This was her first time to the track. She said, "That it was a long day!"
Kenzie stands on the podium for second!
New medals for this race. They are cool!
The Herald Journal called and may do another story??
Dylan takes the checkered flag at the end of 14 laps! 
McKenzie (#51 )started third in Heat #1 and got tagged by Kaitlin Malloy in the first corner. They both spun out into the dirt. She finished 13th out of 17. She started the Main in 13th and quickly jumped to 10th and ran there behind #79 and #42 the rest of the race. 
Good job girl! Only 2.4 seconds a lap off the leader. McKenzie has no weights on her kart and minimal gas in her tank! She is running 10 to 15 lbs over the minimum. She will run the rest of this year in the Junior 1 class and then move up to Junior 2 next year. Then she won't have a weight disadvantage. 
Now for Doug's races (#115).
Most of the time, I was bumping Jared so that we would not lose Karen. This is how close I run 55 mph behind him!!
I was able to push Jared past Karen on lap 9.
Then on lap 10, it was going to be my turn to pass Karen. I set her up to pass and I clipped a turn curbing a little to much and my chain came off!!! Race over for me. Jolene took the picture of me out there cussing at my kart. 
The redemption is that I set fastest lap times in all three races! It was a blast. I'll get them again in two weeks.

We had alot of fun. 
Thanks to Emilie Wheeler and Eli Lucero for coming and writing an article about racing.
The article was awesome and McKenzie Tingey and Dylan Tingey were excited to be in the "newspaper". Published September 19th, 2010.
They are looking at their kart computers getting ready for the race.
McKenzie has her helmet cam already to go for some awesome race footage. It didn't record for the Main! The card ran out of memory.
Just prior to leaving the pit. They are all anxious to get going. McKenzie was in 10 place to start.
The start was a good one. McKenzie jumped right to 7th place on the start.
After 14 laps she ended up in 10th or 11th. Good job taking the checkered flag.
After the race, she weighs in. She is ten pounds over with no weights on her kart. This is not helping her laps times. She is 11 years old and so next year she'll move up to the Junior 2 class.
She poses with Dylan after the racing is over. They both did well today.
Good job!
