SWRA Races onto Texas World Speedway

It doesn't get any better than this!

Author of this column, Ian Carroll, "Katykarter" stands next to his '98 Birel racing kart just prior to his race on Saturday. Against the lights he placed 8th out of 11. Respectable for his first time out.

Southwest Roadracing Association held its first event of the 2007 season at Texas World Speedway this past weekend, March 23-25, 2007.

It was a memorable weekend of kart racing for me, my first event in over two years. Hopefully, I'll be able to attend all seven race meetings this year in their road race calendar, the next one is the first weekend of May at Motorsports Ranch Houston.

Here are several picures from the weekend. At right and below is the front straightaway of the main track at TWS, and the very popular TaG class.
