My kid wins the World Karting Association National Championship!

[CSR_Admin]

My 6yr old kid just secured his title as the World Karting Association National Champ for his class called "Kid Kart". We have had an exciting summer traveling all over the USA racing with him. He started off his national campaign slow with some bad luck at Daytona and Mooresville, NC but has been on a tear since then winning in Indianapolis, Wisconsin, and Pittsburgh. Here are some pics and videos from the last event in Pittsburgh. Very proud poppa here. You can keep up with him at www.WatchBenRace.com which takes you to his FB page where you can follow him.

One of the Saturday Heat Races - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZIKvWL7QqY&feature=youtu.be

Onboard video from the final race on Sun, his winning run. You'll see him apply brake pedal pressure but it is a ways from engaging, he does this for stability. Pretty boring video since all the action is behind him - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4vmKptmx0Y

Some photos of the last weekend

He's he's the right age. I have lots of friends that do it in NY. If you want to try it let me know.

. These go just over 40. Kids are between 5-8. The next class up they go 65. He has been practicing in that all summer so he'll be ready to move up and still compete nationally next year.
