11 Jan 2015 Kent, WA – With a multitude of classes offered by PGP, the amateur class got their chance to race this weekend. What a great way to start into a motorsports racing. Zipping along at 30 mph with your butt one inch off the ground is a blast no matter what your age is.

All drivers must weigh in at 190lbs. That means that if you weigh 150 you must add 40lbs of weight to the kart, this puts everyone on an even playing field. Jump on the scales with all your gear, no hedging here as you are checked after each race as you also change karts. This also prevents this is my favorite kart because of its number.

Rain or shine now your skills as a driver come to the front as it should be in a racing format. This day’s race though had a lighter than normal, no doubt many still sleeping in after the big win last night by the Seahawks. Got to give them that and looking for a bigger group next race.

Also going on this day PGP’s lead instructor schooling a pair of young driver’s on the sport of karting and by the looks on their faces as they run the circuit says everything. There is no mistaking an ear to ear grin even with a helmet on. White board diagramming showing how to enter a curve on the track or properly what line to follow for the fastest way around the track. As many people know many race driver’s got their start karting and progressed from there. Give PGP a call to see when you may take part in these classes.

Amateur Race podium placer’s are as follows: Aaron Penn grabbed the top spot with Ben Gonzales getting second and a very surprised and happy Todd Jensen placing third.
