Feature race cancelled due to rain. The race will be scored as a drop race.

RACE 7
August 20, 2006
14 karts turned out for the fight, ending with Ropke finishing first in the feature, followed by Thomas, Hanisch, Wesell, Anthenson, Kalish, Mente, Mussa, Skowron, Nix, Olson and Stagl. Mitz suffered an electrical failure, and Sharp did not start the big race. It's the dog days of summer, with competition heating up, and the points race remains as close as ever, with any one of 8 racers numerically able to win the championship!

RACE 6
July 23, 2006
A perfect day for karting.  The weather was spot on, the track had good bite, and the racing was hot! The new starting procedure, with new acceleration markers for the start, caused some frustration in the heats, but settled out by the feature. The race drew a large group of the season so far, with a total of 12 karts. Hanisch continued his run of top finishes in the feature, but not by a runaway.  Ropke, Thomas, Mitz, and Willmorth rounded out the top five, followed by Mente,  Bartels, Anthenson, Wirth, and Skinner in pursuit. Mussa broke and Sharp was unable to take the green with a broken engine stop bolt. Only 4 more races to go!

RACE 5
July 2, 2006
Hot and muggy was the weather. Hot and fun was the racing. This was Jeff Hanisch's weekend, taking 1st in heat one and a second in round two, putting him on pole for the feature. Skowron put away outside pole for the feature, with Willmorth and Mitz in row two.  The feature started with excitement in row two, as Willmorth and Mitz ran side-by-side all the way to the hairpin, with Hanisch and Skowron leading the way. Mitz went on a rabbit hunt, while Wesell and Willmorth battled away for fourth, ending with Wesell holding off a last ditch hale Mary pass attempt by Willmorth. The finish saw Hanisch in first, his second for the season, followed by Skowron, Mitz, Wesell, Willmorth, Nix, and Olsen.  Stagl made a showing for round one, taking the green before his clutch went away.

RACE 4
June 20, 2006
Cancelled due to rain. One additional drop race will be used to eliminate the lost race date.

RACE 3
June 3, 2006
The third race went well and was another great day. Mitz wins the first race from pole, while Hanisch wins the second from third on the grid. Thomas nails a pole for the feature by taking two thirds in the heats. Hanish manages to bag a feature win from a fifth place start, followed by Thomas, Skowron, Mitz, Mussa, and Mente in close pursuit. Ropke, Anthenson, Stagl and Wirth closed the gate.  The competition was as close as ever, with less than 4/10ths separating the majority of the field! Race one winner Willmorth was a no show, as was race two winner Kalish.

RACE 2
May 21, 2006
The second race of the season was a beautiful day.  A cool breeze and sunny skies prevailed for most of the day, in contrast to the wet weather the previous weekend. This was also a race day with several back-stories.  Wesell and Hanisch. had their engines in song after sticking pistons last weekend. Kalish made his first appearance of the season, picking up where he left off last season with a win, followed by Mente and Mitz in third - his best finish since returning after last season's forced time off. 12 karts were on grid, inlcuding Ropke, who manage to rebuild the top end of his Sonik between the heats and feature. Behind Mitz, were Mussa, Hanisch, Ropke, Skowron, Anthenson, Wesell, Willmorth, and Dave Wirth. Skowron fought with with a fussy battery all day. Willmorth managed to blow a good starting position by spinning in lap 7 caused by a stuck throttle cable. Thomas suffered an unfortunate failure before the start of the feature and was forced to sit it out. Finally Stagl was at the track, but worked to keep his two boys in their own points battle, so never made a lap - poor fellow.

RACE 1
May 7, 2006
The season opener was set off by beautiful day, in the mid seventies and clear.  The track was a little slick, having suffered a rainout the previous weekend. 11 karts were signed up at the beginning of the day.  Unfortunately, 2 (Jeff W. and Jeff H.) suffered stuck pistons in practice, so were unable to make the grid for the heats. From the start of the heat races, it was apparent that racing was going to be tight. Flag to flag, the group stayed together throughout the heats. Racing was close, passing tough, and the field finished very close together. A rivalry that closed out the 2005 season between Willmorth and Mente in 3rd and 4th, would carry into the first feature of 2006, where the two locked horns from the first turn taking the 1st and 2nd from their 2nd (M) and 4th (W) starting positions on the grid, moving away from Skowron starting on pole, followed by Mitz in close pursuit.  Mente held off Willmorth for 7 laps - before Willmorth made his move in the sweeper, taking first position through the conclusion of the race. He was followed closely by Mente, Mussa, Anthenson, Skowron, Thomas, Mitz, with Stagl closing out the first race of the series.
