After 2 very successful seasons the 2006 season fell way off the high expectation of MCR Racing's goals. With only 4 wins for the season things did not go as hoped for. We learned alot during the year most importantly that the tire program is without a doubt the most important aspect of the kart. By the time we realized what the problem was the season was all but done. The upside is a long and trying season is behind us and we have been focused on the new season and getting all the pieces in place for a complete turn around and to get back to our winning ways! If we were to chose the highlights of the season we would say that the 3 rd place finish out of 16 karts at Trailways Speedway and the 5th place finish out of 18 karts at Novemberfest in New York @ Oakland Valley Raceway Park were our best runs due to the fact we had to move Matt up in class to Blue plate and run with the older kids. Ironically these were the last 2 races of the season for Matt & MCR Racing when we started to get our tire program sorted out!!
Matt ended the season win 4 wins, 8 - 2nd place finish, 9 - 3rd place finish, 1 - 4th place finish, 2 - 5th place finish and 3 DNF's (did not finish)
