10/23 - 10/24: Cedar Lake Arena - Fall Shootout / Melvin Germain Memorial

We were a little hesitant to head back up to Wisconsin, as anyone who knows our Wisconsin travels knows we have not had the best of luck (truck motor seizing up, tires blowing out, etc). However, it does appear 3rd times the charm, as we made the trip without any issues and Ryker was able to sweep 🧹 the entire event his first time ever at Cedar Lake Arena!

This Phantom Racing Chassis 2.0 was a 🚀 ship all weekend and never skipped a beat. Not only did Ryker have the fastest lap of the entire event (9.615) but his last 3 average laps in the Pro Feature (9.641) were actually faster than anyone’s fastest lap.

Special thanks to Cedar Lake Arena and the Germain family for this event, from an awesome track, to a great environment, solid tech program and fun podcast, was an overall great experience!

Congrats to Jacob Deml (Deml Racing), Daxx Housley (DHRacing), Braylen Neer, and Breck Lanoue on your podiums. Huge congrats to Re*****on Kipka (Kipka Racing) on your 4th place finish at only 8 in a stacked field, you’re going to be a force in the BP class!

Definitely a list of people that deserve some serious thanks:

Ralph and Lee at Uncle Frank's 4 Cycle Racing have both been in Rykers corner since the beginning and have always done anything they can to help him!

Motor Mike at PowermaX Racing Products “Race one or Chase one” - we might not always have the set-up dialed, but that motor sure is!

Adam at AJC Racing Tires LLC for all the help over the last 2 years, and for continuing to try and give these kids competitive opportunities. Can’t forget a heck of a tire too, held up all weekend and didn’t start to feather once.

I don’t even know where to begin with Peterson Racing -Trenton #17 - this whole family, man, Matt, Amanda, Trent, and Millie, just a huge thank you for everything, the time, the help, always being a sounding board for ideas, and the support and encouragement Ryker always received, it’s been a hell of a ride!

Not sure if the wing karts will come back out or not at the moment, but will keep this updated and have a season ending post as there are still quite a few people to thank!

Decided to head out to Off-road Kartway with our buddies 3G Racing Development and race the Cage Kart one more time! Ryker was able to sweep the day, with our buddies Garrett and Grant going 1 and 2 in their feature and Bristol winning the Juicebox!

Ryker wanted to go give Viola a run one more time and see his buddy Trent make his 500 debut! Overall the day went well, having good speed and moving forward in both heat races; unfortunately just didn’t have enough to run down his buddy Dax.

10/3/26 - 10/4/26 - Mini "E" Raceway for Nightmare Nationals

Ryker decided he wanted to go try and get one of the cool Halloween 👻 🎃 trophies from Eagles special event in the Cage Kart.

Huge shoutout to 3G Racing Development for allowing us to use their equipment and help get us rolling! Special thanks to Ralph and Lee at Uncle Frank's 4 Cycle Racing for everything, and Peterson Racing -Trenton #17 for coming out and joining us. Wish we wouldn’t have had all the issues with the kart that we did, but glad we were able to at least get Trent into a Cage Kart!

10/3/26:
16 Cage Jr1 Entries
Heat 1: 6th -> 6th
Heat 2: 1st -> 1st

Went out for Hot Laps and didn’t look like Ryker skipped a beat from his time being out of the Cage Karts. Went out for the first heat race, Ryker started trying to move up right away but then started fading back as the kart just had no speed and motor sounded off. Thankfully we were able to find the issue rather quickly as the spark plug boot had come completely apart and was a quick replacement.

Next heat race Ryker took off from pole and looked right at home.

10/4/26:
16 Cage Jr1 Entries (only 15 showed)
Feature: 13th -> 🥇

Originally was supposed to run a B feature but they just combined all into 15 starting the A. Unfortunately had to start 13th because of our first heat race motor troubles and a bad pill draw as tie breakers. However, Ryker knew he had a little extra time with the feature being 30 laps, but went to work right away, and taking the lead for good on lap 25. Definitely was an entertaining and awesome feature to watch him work his way through traffic, especially knowing how badly he wanted the trophy.

Ryker did also get to go out for the 100 lap clown and pony show race with 36 others, all classes mixed together; unfortunately got 4 wide coming out of the corner and was part of bringing out a yellow so our race came to an end only about 2-3 laps in.

Qualifying: 3rd
Feature: 3rd -> 2nd

Started out during practice significantly faster than the field; however, with the recent weather, track slicked off more than was expected by qualifying and kart got tight. Didn’t get the adjustment quite right for the feature and wasn’t able to drive the kart in as hard as we needed, but knew what we needed for the Maxx Daddy the next day.

9/19/26:
Unfortunately they rained out the event.

Overall, was an interesting weekend, lots of driving, lots of rain and mud, Ryker wrecking his Burromax 🤦🏻‍♂️, but we made the most of it being at Fairbury and racing on a 1/4 mile!

9/3/26 - 9/5/26 Thunder Hill Speedway AJC Mid America Series Grand Nationals

9/3/26: Wingless night unfortunately got rained out (Ryker was really looking forward to this); however, we did get to watch helicopters try and dry the track out 😳.

9/4/26:
14 Box Stock during the day
Qualifying: 5th
Feature: 5th -> 3rd

Track was not exactly what we were expecting, hot lapped on the wrong chassis, qualified blind on the other, and definitely could have used some harder tires during the feature, so was an interesting day, but will always take a podium!

21 Box Stock during the night
Qualifying: 🥇

Kart was super fast all night, unfortunately Ryker made a mistake and got a little too high and left just enough room for Dax to get underneath him and just didn’t have enough to run him back down.

9/5/26:
Skipped the day show.

18 Box Stock during the night
Top 4 from the night before were locked into the dash and feature.

Feature: 2nd -> 2nd

Ryker gave his buddy Dax a good battle in the Dash, jumping out to the lead, swapping back and forth for the next few but ended up falling back to 2nd.

Feature was rather uneventful, most held their starting position, congrats to Dax on the weekend sweep and Hunter on 3rd!

8/29/26 - Plessis Motor Speedway
8 Box Stock
Heat Race: 4th -> 1st
Feature: 1st -> 2nd

Decided we would go give Plessis a try for the first time for Bull Ring Nationals and overall had a good run.

Heat race we were still trying to figure out tires and set-up, as we’ve never run on a track this small.

Feature started off well, couple cautions that we could have lived without; however, Ryker lead for 20 some of the 50 laps, unfortunately his LR tire (wasn’t the exact tire we wanted to be on but only one we could get the stagger we needed with) kind of gave out on him and just started sliding more than we would have liked.

Congrats to Rykers buddy Carson Sanders Racing for back-to-back Bull Ring Nationals wins!

Qualifying: 2nd by only .016 😳
Heat Race: 1st -> 1st

Overall, the night was going really well, until a caution filled feature that ended with only 6/15 laps being completed. Not the way we wanted to get our first podium at English Creek, but sometimes just the way it goes 🤷🏻‍♂️.

8/22/26 - 8/23/26 at University Plains Speedway South Dakota State Championships

8/22/26 Normal Points Race:
Blue Plate:
Heat 1: 2nd -> 1st
Heat 2: 6th -> DNF
Feature: 5th -> 🥈

Definitely had the fastest kart, unfortunately a lap car came down on Ryker in Heat 2 while in 2nd and was unable to finish as they had to let all the air out of his RF to get them apart and wouldn’t let us put air back in to continue. Feature started further back than we should have, caught the leader multiple times but was always at a bad time with a lap car and just didn’t work in our favor, just part of racing 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Definitely fought though our fair share of issues on Sunday, between an exhaust cracking, having to swap a motor, tires randomly growing, etc., but we accomplished our goal and brought home the Mount Rushmore trophies!

Thanks Jamie Reeves for letting us use your transponder 🤣.
