Carson “The Little Dipper” McFadden 101

This Is It

            I know I’m from Chicago, and I don’t mean to sound like the Cubs fan that I am, but this year’s the year.  Not for the Cubs, because as a Cubs fan, you learn how to be pessimistic.  But this is the year for ME!  This year is finally the year I’m taking the trophy home.  Why?  Why, you ask?  Because this year, the perfect storm is brewing.  I’ve got the cart, the crew, and the character.  This year, my life of hard work is finally going to pay off.

Cart Craziness

            After several seasons in the MGCL without any results, I was almost ready to call it quits. But in a matter of hours, everything changed.  I was walking towards the covered bridge—ready to jump and end it all, but sitting there (a little battered and bruised) was the vehicle of my dreams.  A three-wheel cart—just sitting there for the taking!  Whose was it?  I didn’t care.  I jumped in and drove off, and man could that sucker fly.  I must’ve hit 15 on the way home! With the reception (or theft?) of this speedy golf cart, I knew that this was my season to shine.

Old Man Lambert

            After my fortunate finding of the world’s fastest cart, I knew I needed an able crew.  I went down to Lambert’s and sure enough, the old man was up to the task.  He even used to race back in the 70s.  They say wisdom comes with age, so this guy has to be the wisest of them all.  With his experience and golf cart know-how, he took a full second off my quarter mile—and all he added was a flame decal! Who would’ve thought?

Drive, Desire, and Will

            So now I have the cart and I have the crew.  But deep down where it counts, do I have the drive (no pun intended), the desire, and the will to win?  Of course.  After so many years of suffering, I know what it takes to win (a.k.a. stuff I obviously haven’t had before).  This year, I want it like never before. I know I can do it.  Along with all the physical stuff it takes to be a champion in the MGCL, I have the spirit.  I know I can beat the other drivers.  Kyle?  Yeah, he has no chance.  Sure, sure, sure, he has all the money in the world.  I mean—the guy has a Club Car.  If that doesn’t just reek of upper-class golf cart racing, I don’t know what does.  But does he have the passion that I do?  The experience?  Not even close.  The way I see it, one person can only lose so much—and I’ve had my fair share.  It’s time to start winning, and that begins with the first race of the season.  So am I nervous?  Not at all.  Am I confident?  Recklessly so.

Kyle, you’re going down.

You Do Not Want To Miss Out!

Recap of This Past Week's Race

            Hey there once again!  I am your inside official, Dylan, here with the information and recap on this past week's Manchester Golf-Cart League race positioned on 9th Street between Wayne and Bond.  The blustery April weather minimized the crowd, but true die-hard fans refused to miss one second of the intense action.  League racers Kyle and Carson stole the spotlight as they pulled their golf-carts up to the starting line.  After receiving the signal to go, the heated race exploded with Kyle pushing in the lead within seconds.  The hairpin turn at Bond Street proved to be difficult for Kyle in his four-wheeled, four-passenger cart.  Carson's three-wheeled cart possessed the turning advantage over Kyle's and brought the racer's neck to neck.  This did not put Kyle at a disadvantage--he won the race and skidded to a victorious halt.  The crowd roared with excitement!

            After seconds of trash-talk between the drivers, the carts were realigned at the starting line for another quick race before the police might arrive.  The "go" signal sent the racers into yet another close, head-to-head battle.  Carson and Kyle remained side-by-side until Kyle executed a lightning-fast maneuver around Carson.  After the hairpin turn, the race appeared to be in Kyle's favor.  However, only yards from the finish line, Kyle's motor unexpectedly seized.  His cart inched to a halt as Carson passed him and won the second race. 

Settling the Score

            Rumors of Kyle's new golf-cart motor and Carson's lightened cart frame have been spreading like wildfire among fans of this rapidly growing underground circuit.  Only one of these drivers will win the deciding battle between one another.  Although I cannot disclose complete information about the next Manchester Golf-Cart League race on our page, I can tell all you fans it will be happening this Sunday.  Additional information will be provided via our "mole" as the date approaches, so keep your calendar's free and come support your favorite MGCL driver!

What Is the Word?

MGCL

            The Manchester Golf Carting League is the hottest new sport around.  No other sport and even come close to intense golf carting.  Think about it, Nascar has full cages to protect drivers, we have nothing that could stop these guys from a crash.  Football has teammates that the others can blame for being flat out terrible, but not here.  In the MGCL it’s all or nothing, put up or shut up, go big or go home, must win, golf cart ass-kicking action!

Forget a New NFL Season!

            The races earlier this week were insane!  Carson “The Little Dipper” McFadden and Kyle “The Big Cheese” Konarski brought the heat all the way to the finish line.  The MGCL is going to take off over the next couple of events, and everyone is going to forget that the football season is on hold.  This is the next big thing!

The Current Standing Means?

            The series is currently tied but I feel like that doesn’t really do justice.  If you watch the film from the second race (McFadden won) there seems to be cart trouble for The Big Cheese.  If he can keep his cart from losing power or if the pit crew can get that cart performing at its best then he will be one tough racer to deal with.  Konarski won by a dominating time in the first race only to lose after leading the second race to car trouble.  I think the current tie will hands down go to Kyle “The Big Cheese” Konarski unless The Little Dippers crew team can get that cart rolling with a little higher top speed and a little less torque, but who knows in this crazy sport?  The Big Cheese had engine problems once, who knows what other factors could come into play during the next race.

And the Champ Is Going To Be?

Well, with the split of races this week, who knows!  The leagues two best racers just keep bringing it.  I think there is a slight advantage to Kyle “The Big Cheese” Konarski, because of how fast he turned out his first run Monday night.  Although the Big Cheese was fast on Monday, you can never leave out Carson “Little Dipper” McFadden.  He found a way to win in the second heat on Monday when it was all on the line, and you can’t put a value on someone being clutch in a tough situation.  The winner will clearly be deserving of the title of the MGCL.
