June 2007 South Florida Rotax Series Race 5 & 6 Moroso Kart Track

The South Florida Rotax Series is the second largest series in the US second only to California., it's first it the level of completion in the Rotax Jr class with many nationally ranked kids racing Stars in the series. And so we make the six hour drive south to race in the series. In three races Cody scored an 8th place, 5th place and 3rd place finishes, got to be happy with that.
These where the only two races to be held at Moroso kart track one of Cody's favorite places to race.

Sat. - We went out with the tires we used in the last race at Homestead, they had only 12 laps on them. Cody qualified in sixth place out of ten kids not bad as he was the only one not on new tires. Pre final - Cody finished 5th. Final - Cody finished in 5th place.

Sun. - New tires today Cody qualified in fifth place. Pre final - Cody did a great job to work his way up to third place. Final- Cody did a great job to hold onto third place in a very hard fought race. It finally click with him that you have to deal with what you have once out on the track. That if the kart is lose or tight you have to adjust your driving style, line to make the kart work. When we went out for the pre final the Arrow kart was hooked up he went from 5th to third. In the pre final the kart was very lose and he dealt with it like a real pro and held third place in a very tight race. He never was passed but had karts all over his back bumper he put on a great show.
