Comment on SIRS Season Recap by G-Race 1

We had a great time this season and had the results to show it. It was great to form our new team and bring in three new drivers to the series, each whom is a dedicated racer, and a super guy. We will be back in top form next season, and hope to stay at the sharp end of the inverted grid. Special thanks goes to Bernie for providing this website to the team, and to Joe for keeping us all up to date. I think a day at Pro Drive is in order for the team over the holiday break. Thanks for the great time this season!

Comment on SIRS Mid Season Update by G-Race 1

It is hard to think that the season has gone by to this point so fast. We are all in good positions and have had some good hard fought races. We have also had a few that could have been a little better. My high point was getting a P2 victory that came in an all out race. No red flags or dive passes… I am looking forward to a good battle with Zach Koping, who has become a strong driver and has been my match for much of the season. I hope to regain the GT4 title this season or at least give the guys a good fight. I will do my best to bring Team Grip and Hammer the most points possible, and have fun along the way. See you on the grid.

Comment on David and Scott Claim Checkered Flag! by G-Race 1

First I must say GREAT JOB DAVID! What a nice comeback from a sure podium in week 1. And another strong finish for Joe 1/2. I had a super fun GT4 race and sure felt the pressure from a Alfredo
Oyague. He was so smooth and catching me every lap. I had to make sure that traffic was my friend. He has been taught by a master, Eric Oyague, who was my teammate in my 2nd season. I learned so much from him in a few weeks ,so I knew Alfredo was coming…. P2 was a bad race. I tried to capitalize on a mistake by another driver, and that met with an avoidance spin. Then after working a pass for most of the race on that same driver, I got passed him cleanly in traffic, a YELOW FLAG came out one corner later I lifted for the track worker coming towards me with YELLOW FLAG waving, and was spun from behind by, guess who? Rules, rules, rules. Also welcome back Scott Gaarde. He is such a strong racer, good guy and has figured this track to a science
, we are lucky to have him as our team leader on our “Rookie Team”. Lets get back to racing!

Comment on Grip and Hammer go karting at the SIRS! by G-Race 1

This is going to be a winning season no matter what. I am able to say this because of what we have assembled this season. We have a strong team of veterans, fast and SMART rookies, past multi class champions,and they are all a bunch of great guys. Our goals are completely attainable. Enjoy racing, learn, learn, learn, create fun memories, and see where we stand at seasons end.
This new bi-directional track, large rookie field, and “certain drivers” will add to the fun/fear factor. I think it will be the guys who can adapt to the track, work traffic, and maintain a cool head will prevail.
So far so good!

Well that was another day to remember. Perfect weather, food, and fun. The race was tense and drama filled. Reading Bernie’s descriptive write up brought it all back. We had some different faces under the helmets, but the result was the same. It was a “Dream Team” of friends and skilled karters of every level, Bernie is a 4 times champion, I was able to repeat, Ralph had his first taste of a team endurance victory, and Mr.Jimmy brought his smooth style, speed and charm to the team. I heard he gets some tips from Oregon racing great Todd Harris ( yeah, PRO Drive!). Bravo to the great people of Pat’s Acres, the karts were well tuned, grounds and tent complex looked sharp, always. The SPEED and FEED team is A-1. They put on a great event for a great cause, so many more people need to find out about this event and get a team together. Talk about team building. Thanks to the “Fish” for sending out some skills. Where was KEX, KXL, KGON??? I was expecting a hard charge from Ted’s team aptly named “The Ringers” but a stone caught in the brake system put them into catch up mode, too bad. The challenge is out. Next year I am betting will be the best year yet for this fun event and wonderful cause. Thanks again to Rev. Revvv, Pit Boss Momo (what she says goes), flaggers are tops, always nice to see in the corners, and the awesome catered BBQ chow. Scott S.
