By Jeff the Mechanic: This upcoming Thursday marks the next big Race Day for Ronnie the Kart Champ and his rocketing red machine. So it’s up to Mike the Wrench and myself to set up Ronnie’s kart for a grueling 500 laps of blistering speed and endurance.

The Mighty Speedway is one of the more unique tracks on the kart series, a track that seems to devour fresh tires and rock even the most rugged suspension systems. With just a few more minor adjustments we should have Ronnie’s kart dialed in and ready to race.

On the way into the shop today I passed by a cheering couple parked along the infield. They described themselves as die-hard fans of Mighty World racing, and what made me smile the most was that they had put up a large banner for Ronnie on the front of their RV. When I asked them why they enjoyed the races so much, they both answered simply, "the speed."

By Diego the Firefighter: With National Fire Prevention Week fast approaching – this year it takes place October 7-13, 2007 – now is an ideal time to talk to kids about how to avoid causing fires, as well as how to keep safe should a fire occur. Mighty World Firefighter Diego offers these tips:

1. Never touch matches, candles or lighters. Make sure you tell an adult immediately if you see matches or a lighter in a room.

10. Stay low to the floor when escaping a fire, as smoke rises and makes it difficult to see.

Kids, once you're familiar with these safety tips, head on over and visit Sparky the Fire Dog and have even more fun and games while you learn about fire prevention and safety.
