2021 Quincy GP 125 Shifter Final. Devon Smith-Harden takes win #2 of the weekend...even after biffing the start and touching the curb after the jump.
He set the track record on lap #7. Unfortunately, Race Liberante had even more trouble after a great start.

My sons all drove go karts which honed their skills for driving full sized cars in all weather conditions and my grandson is getting pretty good at drifting which is a critical skill in racing. It will be up to him if he wants to pursue to more challenging forms. Just want him to have the equipment should he choose to do it.
