champ

i went racing tonight. i didnt win the race, but i did run well, and finished 3rd out of 8 karts to clinch the 2009 points championship at that racetrack. it is my first championship of my racing "career" and i couldnt feel more vanilla about it.

the track i won the championship at, Cherokee, IA, is a low-fund racetrack, and didnt have a trophy or even a tshirt for any of the champions from the various classes.

i didnt even get acknowledged by the track promoter or officials. only the racer i beat (by 1 point) congratulated me, along with a few others in my class. it felt good, but not as good as it could've.

oh well. at least i know i did it. and i already cant wait for next season.
