With a little bit of breathing room in the
championship points race, Nicholas Monte and his 91 PLYCON Transportation
race kart would turn their attention to closing the gap on the second place
driver.
During the two practice sessions in the morning, the
PLYCON Transportation kart was fast. So fast that Nicholas recorded his
quickest lap time of the season. He cut almost a half second off of his best
lap time to date. Nicholas would qualify 3rd for the first heat race and
would start on the inside of Row 2. At the drop of the Green Flag, the first
and second place drivers would get a good jump on the field, leaving
Nicholas to lead the chase after them. But these two drivers were fast,
really fast and Nicholas would have to battle to keep his 3rd place position
by the end of the first heat race.
The main event looked like a carbon copy of the heat
race with the first four positions exactly the same. Nicholas was starting
third again and was able to keep a close eye on the lead karts. Once again
the first two karts would start to pull away from the rest of the field
leaving Nicholas Monte in a battle for third with one of his friends and
fellow racers. Nicholas and the 91 PLYCON Transportation kart was faster on
the straightaway, but his fellow competitor was faster in the turns. Feeling
the pressure, Nicholas knew he had to drive it harder to keep his position,
but not too hard to spin out. The sharp right hand turn at the end of the
straightaway was the biggest concern. Nicholas' tires were starting to loose
grip and the kart would slide more and more on each lap, giving his fellow
competitor and shot at the position. But the tires on the PLYCON race kart
would grip just enough to allow Nicholas to hold onto the position and
finish the main event in 3rd place.

without their support our racing success would not be possible.
