Braaksma Racing

Practice at Eagle river was a blast… until it wasn’t. Changed some things and got it pretty dialed in. Then the little tractor motor blew a head gasket. That will conclude our 2026 season. Thank you to all our amazing friends and sponsors, without all of you this wouldn’t be possible and definitely wouldn’t be as much fun

Final points night at Plymouth. Race season is coming to an end fairly quickly. Fill the stands

Not the night we were hoping for.

Heat started on the pole and wheeled it to 4th. Track was rough as hell

Main we started 18th and the brakes were hung up so bad the crate really felt like a John Deere motor. Pulled off

Rip it apart tomorrow and get new calibers and pads for next Friday

Hoping for a good night again

Tried to follow what the shirt said and it didn’t last very long today. Very trying and frustrating day for both kids and definitely dad. We will sit down this week and have a family discussion about what our racing plans will be for the karts for the remainder of the year. Might be time to just get the boat out

This was cool but I wanted to earn this moment by winning a main.
Plymouth recap quick

Heat started on the pole on a slimy track, finished 4th

Made some changes for the main that seemed to work on a hammer down track. Started on the pole but fell back to 4th fast and worked my way back to 2nd. First podium finish for me, I’ll take it.

Tomorrow the kids are back at buckaroo
