CHARLOTTE'S MEMORIAL RACE

Charlotte Kainz
9.20.96 - 9.25.16
Inside this bright eyed beautiful young woman, was the competitive hear of a winner. She was known as a loyal friend, loving daughter, caring soul and fierce competitor in every aspect of her life. Charlotte lived adhering to the life concept of "do unto others, as you would have done unto you." We will certainly miss the broad genuine smile of the incredible young woman, who was taken from us too soon.-Charlotte Memorial 10/17/2016
Charlotte was small in stature, but her strength to handle both her Honda 450 and XR Harley 750,created fans from outside flat track. EVERYONE who met Charlotte was in awe of her humility, style and strength far from the track.
The Kainz family took my family in at the track. Jack was alerted that my boy and I would be participating in our very first flat track race. Without ever meeting meet us, Jack set aside a spot in the pits and looked after us as though we were family. Jack and Charlotte seemed genuinely excited to teach us, protect us, and give to us. Charlotte was a long time mentor to my son Loyal. Her quiet, small suggestions still ring with us. "Elbows up," says Charlotte; it is still the last thing I say to Loyal before he enters a track.
In the first Flat Out Friday, Charlotte finished ard. In a race that both Jack and Charlotte where nervous, would be too rough, Charlotte rode smooth and strong. After the raec, Charlotte came to collect her money. She quietly asks if she could hug me. I aske loved it", says Charlotte.
This race is for you.
