Evan Has Busy Round 3 Weekend - On To Round 4!
Sunday the 29th of March proved to be a very busy day for Evan York!
Not only was it time for the third round of the North Carolina Indoor Karting Championship (NCIKC), there were additional racing activities as well!
Starting actually late the prior (Saturday) night, Evan and his entourage (okay so it was only "Dad", but hey, he's a cool racer dude too...!) arrived at Victory Lane Karting for the opening round of VLK F1
Evan and several VLK teammates enjoyed watching the live SPEEDtv feed of the Formula One race from Australia on an HD projector screen situated in the luxurious environs of VLK.
In addition to watching the race, many VLK racers participated in a celebratory F1 karting event, which consisted of a thirty-minute practice, eight-minute qualifying, and a fifteen-minute race.
This opportunity afforded Evan some great practice for the third round of the NCIKC - to be held later that very same morning at VLK!
By the time all the race-watching and racing-doing was done, the time was hovering around four-thirty in the morning!
Back home to bed for a bit of rest and back to VLK for NCIKC racing!
Evan performed well in each of the three heats and accumulated sufficient points to advance to the Round's final event.
Starting last in the field, Evan advanced two positions and fought valiantly for one more. However, timing did not work to Evan's advantage and he settled for the tenth finishing spot.
By virtue of his good heat race finishes along with the points accumulated in the final, Evan remains ninth of thirty-eight overall positions in the Championship.
The NCIKC returns to action at Grand Prix Greensboro on Sunday, 5 April. This is the first repeat venue of the year. Can Evan advance in the Championship standings? Follow along on Twitter and find out!
