Spring 2003 Karting Challenge
Spring, Round 3: March 11, 2003Round 3 of the Karting Challenge went much smoother than the past event. The only real (unexpected) issue was the fact that the bar was closed! In true Texas fashion, that problem was solved with a pizza and a case of beer
First, welcome Damon and Greg to the series!

The racing was fun, although the karts still are not equal.
Bill won the first qualifier on the short track with a 20.66, followed by Rob L with a 20.79 and Jayson with a 20.82. The full finishing order was:
The second qualifier was held on the longer track. Rob L won that one with a 35.45 (fastest lap of the day at that time). Dan was second with a 36.22, and Jayson picked up third with a 36.56. The full order was:
The final was held on the long track again. On the start of the A final, Jayson managed to get a jump on polesitter Rob L and lead through the first series of turns and through the hairpin. Unfortunately, it didn't take all that long for Rob to squeeze on by, and after that it was a cakewalk for Rob L.
Rob slides past Jayson and takes off Rob L continues to dominate with a perfect 3-0 season in the finals thus far. His 35.53 was a bit slower than his Q2 time, but fast enough to win. Dan just managed to edge Rob M for second with a 35.81, with Rob M just .02 behind at 35.83. The complete racing order was:
Dan, Rob L, and Rob M Afterwards some of us moved on to Humperdinks -- someone else has the pictures from there The Spring 2003 series will run from January through June on the 2nd Tuesday of each month.
