CAB Racing

In the summer of 07' my Dad and I went to see Gerald Perry's son, Nick and his nephew, Tylor race at Dumplin Valley and Ashway Speedway. After watching them having fun I decided I would like to start racing too.

My Dad and I found an old straigh-rail kart on eBay, it had everything but the motor, seat and tires so we placed a bit on it an won it.

We traveled all the way to Pennsylvania (about 8 hours each way) to pick it up, Randy (the seller) was a great guy that has been racing 2-cycles for many years. Since we were just starting out, he gave me a kart stand and sized up a seat and show us how to get it bolted on correctly.

Once we got it home, we took everything off the frame and repainted it, we put everything back on it and then tried to paint the body. The paint didn't turn out that great because the paint would not stick to the plastic, so we ended up using vinyl sheet for the sides with some vinyl numbers, it worked really well and looked much better than the paint.

We bought some used DXA tires and a fresh Blue Plate Briggs motor from Fast Action Karting, we also picked up a few sets of rear gears and a used drum clutch.

After getting everything together one late Friday night (Aug 3, 2007), we decide to at least take my new Kart to practice the follwing night and if all went well, i was going to race it that same night.

After that first race, I was hooked and my Dad really got into it too. During my first season I was able to race a total of 9 times in Blue Plate and my last race I finished in 1st place, my very first win..

My second season (2008) we moved up to Gold Plate and started using a Phantom chassis and a Jimmy Glenn Flathead motor, the motor was (and still is) a great motor, the Phantom took most of the season to figure out how to set it up, but we finally finished the season with qualifying on the pole against some strong compitition.

The third season (2009) I started running an Ultramax chassis with a Stout Racing Animal (Gold Plate) motor, Dad finally started working the tires with TrackTac products and I finally figured out what to change in the setup to get the chassis working better.

This is our forth season and we had the Animal rebuilt for Stock Lite, I'm looking forward to running the Ashway Speedway Points Series and maybe a few other tracks this season running a light Animal class...

I'm still excited that to be a Team Driver for Stout Racing Engines, both Lewis Stout and Travis Humphrey have been a great help to us in understanding our karts, motors, and how to work the tires. I look forward to representing Stout Racing with a few more feature wins this season.

Before my Dad and I hit the track for the first time, we decided to create this website to share pictures, videos, and race stats with the family and friends that can't make it to the track to watch me race every week. I have worked on this website a bunch and hope to add more stuff after each race.
