Hummel the only female racer at Easy Kart Florida Championships
May 4, 2008
Michelle Hummel has big dreams of being a doctor one day. That’s if she can’t get a racing career cranked up.
As odd a mix as Hummel’s career choices might seem, her father won’t doubt her — just as he didn’t when she declared she’ll become one of the best go-kart divers in North Florida.
“When she puts her mind to something, it’s very hard to stop her from doing it,” Alan Hummel said. “It’s not a natural thing to get into one of those (go-karts) and go about 90 mph and be good at it. That part of it surprised me.”

Tough run at Rockingham for Cassey Watson
April 22, 2008
Ginetta Junior driver Cassey Watson always knew rounds 5 & 6 were going to be tough at Rockingham, and so they proved, but ended up leaving the circuit with high hopes for the rest of the season.
Since the first test day back in February it has been obvious that Cassey’s car has been struggling for straight line speed and despite great effort the problem had proved impossible to find, so the Super Speedway section of Rockingham was always going to show the problem at it’s worst.
