from improvad equip-
ment, the biggest
change for the Lynn
Vailey racer is not
having a track to race
on. With the clasing of
Westwoad a faw years
ago, karters are
forzed to run on tei
porary trecks set-up
in parking lots.

jump into a go-kart afier a
13-year absence, but the 28-
year-old Lynn Valley racer

never expected his biggest

somewhere to race.

Westwood track a few years
ago, Lower Mainland karters
have had to get creative to
find places to race.

speed is so strong that he
doesnt mind driving for
hours to find « place. to race,
including Nanaimo,
Spokane, and Portland,
Oregon. The aeavest far-
flung. track from his Lynn
Valley home is a temporary
track at’ = Abbotsford’s
