2004

Overall 2004 was a terrible season for Kari in the Short Tracker Division.  I had to take several weeks off to travel out of state for business obligations, when I  returned, my car was not working right.  I was unable to compete in several races due to the technical difficulties I was experiencing.  It took several weeks to figure out exactly what was going on with the car, and finally on the last night of the season the car worked great!  I also competed at Elko Speedway at Fall Festival, however 2 laps into the main feature the mouse trap broke and forced me to the middle of the track to watch my fellow racers compete on the last night of the season.  I am looking forward to the 2005 season to make a fresh start.
