2021 Season -- The Season That Never Was:
Our 2021 season was unfortunately completely lost due to circumstances out of our control. And it's a long, sad story.



GoFundMe

Summer 2022 UPDATE - GoFundMe... is gone, but the money is still owed in full:
For some reason, the GoFundMe was deleted. We were never given a reason or warning, and it earned $0.00 and Matt has still been unable to pay it back in addition to his wife being as adamant in her position as ever. So... here we are.
2022 Update: Melissa Threatens Small Claims Court Over a $25 Part on Her Daughter's electric car
In the summer of 2022, Melissa threatened to take our family friend to small claims court over a $25 part on a kid's toy. This family friend -- who we'll call, "Ken" -- is the father of the child in question who damaged her daughter's cart. Yes, the same person who -- all the way out in Mexico, NY -- helped Matt haul lumber and roofing supplies, gave him two snowblowers, and a heater, on top of also offered to loan Matt a bulldozer for track work, and probably would've helped him haul clay to track, something way overdue for our rough corners.
Summer 2022 Update: Attack of The Gables... Part Nine-hundred and... oh, we lost count...


2023 Update - Roof paid back or... NAH, LET'S GO TO DISNEY WORLD INSTEAD!
Melissa, while claiming she doesn't make enough money to pay back the roof -- despite her full-time job as a teacher's aide for the Wolcott School District and side hustle as a pet groomer -- and while constantly posting absolutely delusional lies, snarky pictures, and videos attacking the people who let her borrow $4.5k (that, alarmingly, people on Facebook ACTUALLY LIKE?!) BUT... she has the money to fully fund an 8-day/8-night vacation to...
Look, we are happy that Matt and his kids get to experience not only their 1st trip on a plane but also their 1st trip to Disney World, as we (me, my wife, and kids) did the prior January 2023 and he's never gone on a trip like this in his life... but that's not the point here. The point is... so much for Melissa not having enough money to pay back the roof over her head, but has enough for this trip AND nearly daily deliveries from Amazon, Walmart, USP, USPS, FedEx, DHL... the delivery people's heads are spinning.
In the meantime, if anyone wishes to help Matt's family pay back their debt, please consider it and contact us about it. Because his wife certainly won't.
Closing note - Should this even be here?
There may be some people who think this shouldn't be online on our karting website. Normally, I would agree. But... two things: (1) Everything I wrote is true and wouldn't be an issue if it didn't shut down our season and bleed over to cause many fights in our karting message group, and... (2) I ask you if you think that I shouldn't post this... Do you tell Melissa the same thing when she: - Posts completely delusional nonsense and absolute LIES against us on public social media posts? - Owes $4.5k in debt to you? - hates your guts, - gossip about you and your spouse to your friends and family? - blasts her nieces' mom and dad in front of their grandmother, mostly lies and gross mis-exaggerations? - takes snapshots of private messages between you and your brother out of context and shows them to everyone to try and make you look like an asshole? - says racist things and calls racist slang about your spouse? - and tries to get you and your wife fired from your job? No? If not, then shut up, have a seat, and enjoy the show. Well... back to the karting coverage...FULL SEASONAL ARCHIVES -- Every Race Video in our History!

2021 Season -- The Season That Never Was:
Our 2021 season was unfortunately completely lost due to circumstances out of our control. Initially, head mechanic/track groomer Matt Stevens and his wife needed to repair severe damage (a giant hole) to the roof of their home, which occurred from snow and ice buildup over the long winter. The repairs took all Summer, as only after Matt's brother Chris, sister-in-law Rung, and mother loaned him the $4,000 so the job was to be completed before Fall, as his wife had other things to spend money on. Matt has kept the karts and track running strong for 25+ years for basically no pay. If anyone wishes to help Matt out and collectively help him pay his debt to his mom, brother, and sister-in-law, please help him out via this GoFundMe. We plan to return to regular racing in June 2022, and we are contemplating two Klassics (or maybe a Mid-Summer Championship) to make up for our lost season and have a 2021 Make-up Champion along with a 2022 Champion.
