>For 14 laps the 00, 91, 24 and 14 ran nose to tail without so much as 3

>inches between any two karts. Everyone was rubbing and trying to loosen

>up the kart in front of them but to no avail. Finally on the last lap

>the 24 of Brittany got loose in turn 1 and the 14 of Patrick Braaten was

>able to take over the third place spot. With Schach loosing the chain,

>this moved everyone up a spot for a terrific close finish.
