RMP Raceway Men's Event
It was about 9am on a Saturday morning that the Men of Family Worship Center got together and headed off for breakfast and go to RPM Raceway for some go-kart races. Before the drive to Sacramento, where the raceway is located, the men decided to go to Highway 29 Café for a hearty meal that would stick with them throughout the day.
Finally, around 12pm, we pulled into RPM Racing. There were 7 men who came out to race including Shannon Boyt, Rafael Barrera, Eddie Caragan, Jon Jackson, Jonathan Jackson, Bobby Jackson, and Tony Lamattina, After everyone who wanted to race registered to drive, they got their racing cards and tickets showing what time to get suited up for the race.
The racers had to put on a special racing suit, mask and helmet and before long, they were all feeling just how hot this race was going to be. Finally at 12:40, it was time to race! We were off! Jon Jackson was in front of the pack followed by Bobby, Jonathan, Tony, Rafa and Shannon. Eddie was on the sidelines taking pictures of everyone racing.
There were a lot of twists and turns going around the race track. And we felt each and every one because going at top speeds of 40mph is pretty fast for a little go kart!
When the first race was finished, we took of our helmets and found out how hot and sweaty we all were. We took a five minute break until it was time for the second and final race. The total race time is 10 minutes, but it felt shorter since we were all having a good time. Plus, the second time through the track didn’t seem as hard, but it was still pretty tricky. When finally the race was over, we were all hot and tired. We knew we were going to feel it in the morning for sure!
At about 2pm, everyone decided that two races would be enough for one day and started to head home. We proudly collected our papers showing our race performance and lap times. So after a long day of adrenaline, sweat, and rubber I’m sure we all can say that the FWC Men’s RPM Racing 2008 Event was yet another successful event!
