Daytona Unlimited race 2013

After a full practice day went well, the first day of racing was cut short by rain and many didn't get to race. This race is the Unlimited class on the second day of racing 12-29-13. Its one of the biggest fields in recent memory. The drivers that got rained out on day 1 were all entered in this race.

I start very near the back, about 23rd of 26-27 karts. Some of the fastest Unlimited karts in the country are in attendance. The first few laps are quite action packed. I tried to make as many positions as possible before the group got spread out and drafting was limited.

You can clearly read the data on the steering wheel. Because of the Sun position it is more visible in certain points on the circuit than others.

Data as follows: top left = EGT, top right = H2O temp, lower left = MPH, lower right = RPM's

Once again were driving the TSR chassis with ICC spec Vortex RVS engine. My best time was 2:03.5 on the 12th of 15 laps. With the draft early on we saw 138-139 mph. On our own it slowed considerably, as we missed the jetting.

After the field spreads out I have a great battle with Jeff Meter in his Anderson Gas-Gas. Each of us have a strong part of the circuit, fortunately for me mine was the Oval and that is where the finish line is located. With that said Jeff did a good job keeping me honest and we had a great run together finishing 6th and 7th respectfully.
