Vacation over - back to racing

Going on vacation is fun, but this weekend it was time to get back on the track. A big thank you to Uncle Donny for setting up an awesome kart for Sunday. Can you say "Clean Sweep"? The first heat race I started at the back of the pack and quickly jumped up to second. The track was dry slick and the leader was hugging the bottom pretty tight. It didn't take long before lap traffic came into play and I was able to make my move and take the lead.
Second heat, I started on the pole and never looked back. With 2 laps to go the caution came out and Mom got a little nervous but she soon saw she had nothing to fear and I collected my second checkered flag of the afternoon.
Feature time and again I started on the pole and thanks to an excellent handling kart lead the entire race, green to checkered.
On a side note, Cody had his kart out for practice tonight and had a blast.
See you at the track - RJ

Celebrating the 4th of July by taking a break




Just to keep everyone up to speed and to explain the lack of racing updates, the Gerber boys and their Mom went to Arizona to celebrate the 4th of July this year.

We took the train from Williams to the Grand Canyon on Friday. On the train Cody got a chance to play a real fiddle.

On Thursday, I spent the afternoon fishing in Williams. I caught a small mouth bass and a spotted bass. Jason caught himself.
