Bethany finished 1st place in Powder Puff and tied for 5th place in KT100+30. Jessica finished 4th place in Jr. 1 2-Cycle Novice (one 1st place finish and two 2nd place finishes before moving up to the next class), 10th place in Jr. 1 2-cycle (in two races), and 5th place in Jr. Sportsman (in two races). We had an awesome first year!  </font></p> <p align="left"><font face="Tahoma">After the season was over, Bethany was elected to the Bakersfield Kart Club Executive Board of Directors as the Secretary for 2004.  Both Bethany and Jessica volunteered to become permanent Registration Booth workers so that's where you can find us on race day mornings.</font></p> <p align="left"><font face="Tahoma"> </font></p> <h1 align="left"> <font face="Tahoma"> <img border="0" src="images/Bethany's-Third-Place-Troph.jpg" width="218" height="245" align="left"></font><b><font face="Tahoma" size="5">2004 Was Better...</font></b></h1> <p align="left"> <font face="Tahoma">It was for Bethany anyway!  Finishing in third and fourth almost all season, she took Fourth Place in Championship points at the end of the year out of 29 drivers in the KT100+30 class.  It was an exciting season with a couple of crashes, but no major damage to driver or equipment.</font></p> <p align="left"> <font face="Tahoma">Unfortunately, Jessica was sick the entire 2004 season.  At one event her arm was driven over and badly bruised, but she insisted on wearing a brace and driving her main.  At another event a kart landed on her steering wheel and broke her thumb.  Of course, Jessica wouldn't even consider not racing the rest of the day!  She had to finish her race!  Though she was exhausted by the time the main events began and even had to skip two of the race dates, Jessica came in 8th place in Championship points out of 23 drivers in the Junior Sportsman class.</font></p> <p align="left"> <font face="Tahoma"> <img border="0" src="Bethany's-Year-End-Trophy-c.gif" width="190" height="265" align="right">Bethany was re-elected to BKC's Executive Board of Directors for the 2005 season in two seconds flat.  Amazing how fast they can open nominations, nominate, close nominations and vote!  (This was a good thing, because she wasn't ready to give up the Secretary's position anyway!)</font></p> <p align="left"> <font face="Tahoma">Both ladies are now taking over the head positions at the Registration Booth so if there are any problems you know who to talk to!</font></p> <p align="left"> <font face="Tahoma">Bethany will also be processing new memberships for Bakersfield Kart Club this season.  The forms are available on the BKC website if you would like to become a member.  </font></p> <p align="left">  </p> <h1 align="left"><font size="5" face="Tahoma">2005 is a Whole New Era...</font></h1> <p align="left"> <font face="Tahoma"> <img border="0" src="Haulmark1.gif" width="340" height="238" align="right"></font></p> <p align="left"><font face="Tahoma">We will be running with a new crew, new sponsors, new driving suits and new equipment this year.  Our newly acquired 2003 16' Haulmark Silver Edition race trailer sponsored by R.A.M Construction Co. will be a great help getting us to the track and housing us until we can find a travel trailer or motorhome to sleep in (any offers?).  It comes complete with a double-deck kart setup that transforms into two full-size beds while two karts are parked underneath!  With room for our karts, parts and tools, we are ready to race again!</font></p> <p align="left"><font face="Tahoma">Special thanks to all who offered to help us stay in kart racing!  We feel so fortunate to have so many friends at BKC.  As soon as the word was out that we didn't have a crew or equipment to get to the track we had offers of travel trailers, race trailers, man power at the track and all the food we could eat! </font></p> <p align="left"> <font face="Tahoma"> <img border="0" src="Bethany's-Kart-2005.jpg" width="338" height="228" align="right">Many thanks to our new Crew Chief, John Brown for all his help getting ready for the February race.  He quickly came to our rescue when he found out our truck was broken and we had no trailer.  John drove an hour out to our house in the pouring rain to pick up our karts, prep them and took them to the track Saturday morning fully prepared to be our crew chief.  Unfortunately, the race was cancelled due to rain.  John hauled the karts back home again the following week.  Thanks for all your help, John!</font></p> <p align="left"><font face="Tahoma">Rod Jernagan also came to our rescue on that same rained-out race day.  Many thanks to Rod for going on an 10-hour road trip in the pouring rain to help us pick up the Haulmark trailer and delivering it back to our house.  Without Rod's help it would have been a very challenging trip for us to haul it back.  I haven't pulled a trailer in years!  Thanks again, Rod!</font></p> <p align="left"><font face="Tahoma">For the most part, we had an excellent year.  There were no major incidents or injuries.  Bethany ran all ten events taking a third place, </font></p> <p align="left"> </p> <table border="1" width="100%"> <tr> <td><font size="2" face="Comic Sans MS"> <img border="0"
