Last out, first in. Evan wins first race of 2008 in style!
9 March 2008 | Darlington KartWay, Darlington, SC
Evan shows the competition he means business!
Evan York (89) on his way to victory at Darlington KartWay!
Raceday dawned as a cool and clear day - one day later and better than the originally scheduled Saturday events. With the weather that passed through South Carolina the previous 24 hours making the track very green, practice was as much about learning the track as it was rubbering in a racing line!
After the practice and lunch time, heat and main races were held.
Evan lined up in the back for the reverse-grid in the 100cc class.
At the drop of the green flag, Evan had made it to second position by the first turn!

Thereafter it was a great duel for several laps as the race leader and Evan tussled for the top position.
Evan made a decisive move to pass in a tricky and less than obvious section of the track.
This move proved to be the winning one as his surprised competitor never had an answer for Evan.
By the finish, Evan had pulled out a six kart lead on second place.
A great finish and one happy driver!!
