Some Wins Are Hard to Take

We are in Katy, TX this weekend for races 7 & 8 of the Southwest Regional Cup Series. It has been HOT, too!!! All of us here this weekend are walking around looking at each other thinking, "Oh! So that's what a crazy person looks like!"

Hunter and his racing friend Michael were back at it today. Michael took the pole for the pre-final and final heats. Before the final, Scott made some set-up changes and our friend Chris gave Hunter some corner coaching.

It paid off for him in that he was running some great times. He was reeling Michael in lap after lap. Then Hunter took a great pass on turn 1 but Michael took advantage of an opening and passed him back! Two laps later, Hunter was making his move again and took the corner, but it appeared that Michael came down on him a bit and something happened to Michael's kart and he came off the track leaving Hunter in the lead.

Hunter took the checkered flag, but was not celebrating. He said Michael is one of his best friends, and it hurt to get a win that way.

I love that boy. Let's see what tomorrow holds!
