Thanks to all the NCK people who make this happen! You could not ask for a better day. Great job Anthony in ICE, not sure who won unlimited , both Dean and you were flying! I hope someone checked on Stafford today because he was driving like a man possessed yesterday ! See you all at Laguna where I hope to be able to run with the big dogs (you know, those ugly British bull dogs! ) |

| Just want to say Thanks Ryen Miller for loaning us a kart to be able to participate in the race yesterday! Thanks to Roger Miller for taking time to keep us tuned. I know you had other things to do, but we really appreciate it. Thanks to Kerry Mathews for loaning us some safety gear. I really miss the NCK family. I will do our best to get something to race next year, and hopefully make it to Portland for the grands. |

I'll add my thanks to NCK for hosting another excellent event at Sonoma!
Couldn't have arranged better weather!
Great racing!
Sonoma is worth every mile driven from San Diego to race there.
A very Merry Christmas and safe, Happy New Year to each of you! _________________ Bill Cox

Really great race, thank you all for going and thanks NCK for every effort. Were not running that much anymore but events and competition like that make us try harder to get to the track. Nice to race with new faces hope to see you all again soon at the IKF road race nationals here in Portland next year or at Laguna if we make that trip.  _________________ www.Hegar4.com |

Nick I don't think it would of made any difference how they arranged the starting grid. My brother started near dead last in heat 2 of the final stock moto race and went from that dead end spot to leading across the stripe on the first lap. I'm going to post a video of it as soon as I can get my old piece of crap computer to upload it.. dude it's a sweet lap, he's a total idiot.  _________________ www.Hegar4.com |

I would like to echo the same comments too regarding NCK - a great day of racing with good friends with just fantastic weather! Thanks NCK just great club with an excellent board of directors!
Hey John thanks for the comments - it was great to see you again - sorry about your wing issue - I am sure you will have it fixed for Laguna next year - you were going well which is great to see! There is some really good competition in our class now and I think there are probably about 6 guys that have their packages right that are definitely capable of winning on any given day - I think we are in for a stella 2013 and I can't wait to race everyone again!
Good luck to everyone - see you all at Laguna!
All the best for the Christmas holidays.
Oh and by the way John - those English bull dogs might be ugly to look at but they are fast - so you had better get your game face on!  |

Pssst -
Check out the 2013 CORRECT schedule:
http://www.ekartingnews.com/viewtopic.php?p=706681#706681
And THANK YOU from NCK for the support of this event and our 2012 season, and get it ready for 2013.
Our event last weekend had many new folks that tried road racing for the first time, and I am hearing of several converts that will be making next season. So let's welcome those folks to the group and enjoy the coming season. _________________ Roger Miller

I thought a 1.52 was good in stock moto, until I saw that the leaders were doing 1.46's & 7's!!!!!!  |

Thanks to NCK also, loads of fun, and day went by smooth.
Was it just me or where there more bumpy places on the track?
I am literally bumped up off my seat 3 times in the track every lap. almost lost it twice. Turn 12, after the carousel, & after 7. i'm 132 lbs with gear, most of the weight is on the chassis but i dont recall gettin thrown off my seat like this before. I hope they fix it, this is my fav track next to laguna.
Thank you Kerry for letting me stay in your garage rent free!
