Heard from our track announcer, Jim Hickerson, last night, "Listen for the thunder, because you just saw the lightning, Hunter "Blue Bolt" Stine!!"

Hunter had fun last night at our Spring 6 club race. What looked to be a light turnout due to looming stormy weather turned out to be pretty fun. Our new TAG Cadet drivers are really starting to dial in and will be challenging Hunter come this Fall, for sure. When we have light turn outs, the cadet classes might be grouped together and last night was one of those nights. We ran with our usual running buddies, the Yamaha Jr 1 class and we had a new Rotax Mini Max driver join us. Rotax is a faster engine than the TAG Gazelle or Yamaha Jr 1, but since he was new, he ran with us. However as the night wore on, he was learning that kart more and started picking drivers off one by one and was gunning for Hunter. Now, Hunter knows his Gazelle cannot out run a full speed Rotax, but he wasn't going to let this kid pass him without a fight and the newbie just couldn't keep up and ended up spinning out on a corner trying to keep up with the Blue Bolt!! So, Hunter finished 1st for his class and in front of everyone in the group of for the night!!

To top of the night, we had a Kona Ice shaved ice truck at the track.

Randy Brittain, the owner of this truck, asked Hunter how he did and in honor of Hunter's pre-final win and pending Final victory, named a snowcone after Hunter - The Blue Bolt - a mix of blue raspberry and pina-colada. Pretty cool getting a snowcone named for you!!

More than the win, I think that was the highlight of Hunter's night!

Next up is race #5 and #6 for the Southwest Regional Cup Series in Katy, TX June 3-5th. Wish him luck and good prayers for him!
