YORK Motorsport Entered in VLK 24 Hours of Charlotte Endurance Race

Father and son duo, Kevin and Evan York have again been recruited by Jade Gurss and his fingerprint inc. team; this time for the 24 Hours of Charlotte @ Victory Lane Karting endurance race.

Victory Lane Karting (VLK) - an indoor race facility located in Charlotte, NC - will be hosting their second annual twenty-four hour endurance race on the Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day weekend.

The event will begin on Saturday, May 23rd at nine am and conclude twenty-four fun - and fast-paced - hours later at nine am on Sunday, May 24th!

One of the premier endurance karting events in North America, Victory Lane Indoor Karting will show the competitors a few new twists and turns, thanks to a 15,000 sq. ft. track expansion and new generation Sodikart RX-7 racing karts.

Last year’s inaugural event was marked by a pass to win with less than 45 minutes remaining, and finished with just 11 seconds separating the winning team from second place.

Joining Grand Am competitor Kevin and front-running kart racer Evan, will be a top group of drivers from around North America.

Already entered are reigning U.S. Indoor Karting Champion Mike Smith and returning 24 Hour of Charlotte race winner Dan Burke. Both of those drivers finished among the top-10 in the 2008 World Indoor Karting Championships.

Home track advantage will be minimized during the 24 Hours of Charlotte, as all the karts are identical and assigned randomly. Additionally, kart equality will be maximized as the teams will switch karts at each fuel stop.
