Sunblock is a must at the racetrack, too.

I have got myself weird tan lines from standing too long under the sun this last weekend. The 2nd leg of the 2005 Shell Superkarting Series was held last April 2-3, Sat-Sun at the Boomland Kart Track near the Cultural Center.

There are the following categories: ICA Open Class, Formula Rotax Masters, Formula Rotax, Formula Rotax Novice Class, KT Light division and the Cadets (cute little kids in racer suits.. seriously adorable). And three races for each category excluding the qualification round.

Michelle Bumgarner, the reigning Asian queen of karting, only came in 5th in the ICA Open Class, bested by Stockinger who won both this and the Formula Rotax category. A one-day-early birthday present. And of course, Matteo Guidicelli was there, but he only came in 4th.

Paolo Eslao, my brother (see my heart burting with pride.. lol), won his 2nd championship by outracing local actor Onemig Bondoc and Jeje Villena in the KT Light division.

Well, he better had. I didn�t get my baby-tee permanently stenciled on my skin for nothing.
