Worst Experience of My Life (Oct. 11, 2009)

We went to Dixon for another Chris and Kyle race weekend! Michayla, Tyler, Riley Jo and I were watching Chris' race. He was on the pole with the fastest time, he was excited he beat the point leader! The point leader is a national champion! So you would think he should know how to race! Well the first lap they give the green and the race starts. Well the point leader (who is now known as the blue suit guy. named by Riley Jo) jumped the start and they immediately threw a Yellow flag. Everyone doubled back up except for blue suit guy and his racing partner (who is an old lady who started in the back of the pack). It seriously took 3 laps for this guy to realize that everyone else was doubled up driving slowly and that's why he was passing them! This should tell us something right! So they finally get him back in line they do a lap and the green flag is thrown again, they get back around to the starting line and the race is on.....2nd turn blue suit guy starts to over power Chris, 3rd turn he goes loose and almost spins, Chris sees this and tries to turn so they don't hit, instead Chris cuts it too much, his back tire hits blue suits guy tires perfectly that Chris goes up and over blue suit guy (375 pounds on top of his back....ouch!) and Chris cartwheels in his go-cart down the hill! We were freaked out watching this! Everything turned out OK but we weren't sure at the time. No broken bones or scratches, ribs hurt a little but that was it! Enjoy the video!
