CAB Racing

The summer of 2007 my Dad and I went to see Gerald Perry's son, Nick and his nephew, Tylor race at Dumplin Valley and Ashway Speedway, after seeing them having fun I decided I would like to start racing too.

My Dad and I found a 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 had been racing 2-cycles for 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 good to the plastic, so we ended up using vinyl sheet for the sides and using vinyl numbers, it worked really well and looked much better than the previous paint job.

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 clutch too.

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 it went well, i was going to race it that same night.

After that first race, I knew I was hooked and my Dad really got the karting bug too. This is our third season and we still enjoy racing as much as we can, Dad is getting pretty good at the setup and I'm getting more comfortable driving the different tracks in the area, so we have decided to run the TDKA series this season, not sure how we'll do because of the great compitition in the Gold Plate class, but I know we'll have a ton of fun.

My second season (2008) we upgraded to 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 winning the Pole in qualifying against some strong compitition.

My third season (2009) I'm ran an Ultramax chassis with a Stout Racing Animal motor, Dad finally started working the tires with TrackTac products and I really figured out the kart setup by the last race of the season.

I'm still excited that Lewis Stout added me as a Team Driver, both Lewis and Travis Humphrey have been a great help to my Dad and I 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.

My forth season (2010) I'm still in an Ultramax chassis with a Stout Racing Animal motor, but we have rebuilt the motor for Stock Lite. It has been fun racing Gold Plate the last two seasons, but I'm ready to move up in to the Stock Class, wish me luck !

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 as the years go by.
