1. 17L-Dylan Langer[1]

Good morning everyone. I was asked by Jim Willittes from Adobe Mountain Speedway to come out, take some pictures, and do a report on the kart races last night. I'm no Ben Thrasher, but I did the best I could as a rookie photographer with a phone. I managed to get a couple of good ones. On the flip side, I do know how to report so settle in and I hope you enjoy....

They battled some dry issues at the beginning as expected with the heat, but Aaron Miller Sr. kept up on the track with the water truck and eventually the track came in and provided some good racing. It was a two heat race format with all karts running both heat races then lining up the mains by points....

The AZ Box Stock class had one kart, so it was a very good test and tune session for Dylan Langer in the 17L. The kid got a lot of laps to work on his driving skills and was smooth and fast all night. Any other karts show up in the future and they will have their hands full with him....

Karts for kids showed up with seven youngsters thriving to be the next superstar. Jamie Gabriel won both heat races in the #711. The main event was a different story as the #45 of JJ Landeros drove to what I think was his first main event win after Gabriel spun out while leading. Turtle Ogaz, love that name, came home in second with the #21T and Gabriel rounded out the podium....

There were three karts that showed in the UAS AZ Unlimited All-stars that included the Godfather, Keith Noyes. The #22 of Cody Welker took the first heat and Noyes won the second driving the Dana Fite owned #40. The main was a tight battle as the top three were bumper to bumper for the majority of the race. Keith threw everything he had at Cody, but Welker held off the Godfather to take the win. Cory Hostler came across in third with the #99....

Ten karts signed in for the 212 Sealed class. It was the #9 of Aaron Cavaleri winning the first heat and Stevie Sussex III taking the second. Aaron led start to finish in the main but had to fight off a hard charging Sussex and got another main event win. Brandon Bolton, no relation to Michael, topped off the podium in the #18....

The 212 Un-sealed class brought 12 karts to the table. Stu Moffett drove his #17 to the win in the first heat and Dayton Shelton crossed the line first in the second with the #61. The main event was all Moffitt as he cruised to victory by half a lap while eating a sammich. Jake Helsel in the #88 came home in second and Shelton got it on the podium with a solid third place finish....

Six 212 Open karts came to play and it was the Stevie Sussex show as he swept the night winning both heat races and the main piloting the Donald Curtis owned #71. They battled back and fourth for second and third with multiple changes and Derrek Goodwin prevailed in second driving the #81K owned by Rickey Kinney and the #89 of Logan Johnson got his second straight podium....

That's gonna do it. Thank you to Ted Williams and the rest of the Adobe Mountain Speedway crew for a good night of racing. We will be at Gila Monster Speedway in Globe next Saturday night....

See y'all later
