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!

Evan's ready for Round 3 of the NCIKC
After a disappointing second round of the North Carolina Indoor Karting Championship (NCIKC) at The Pit in Mooresville, North Carolina, Evan York has reset his goals and is now looking forward to racing this weekend at his home track facility of Victory Lane Karting.
Evan enters the weekend's race still solidly within the top-ten in overall NCIKC championship points.
Of thirty-eight listed drivers in the points tally, York is currently ninth.
"We've practiced quite a bit with our fellow VLK teammates and I'm looking forward to racing in the quality SodiKart RX7 racing karts that VLK have always ready and properly prepared for racing." enthused Evan earlier this week during a test session at Victory Lane Karting.
Racing gets underway at 1000 AM on Sunday, 29 March 2009.

Great start for Evan at Round 1 of the NCIKC
Evan leaves Round 1 of the NCIKC in strong position
Dateline: Grand Prix Greensboro, Greensboro, North Carolina
At the conclusion of the first round of the 2009 North Carolina Indoor Karting Championship (NCIKC), of thirty-six competing drivers, Evan lies fifth in the overall points standings.
In the heats leading up to the final round, Evan won the first on-the-road and placed in great points accumulating positions in the others.
Starting the final in third position, Evan knew that the other eleven drivers on track with him were the best of the best from the day.
Battling hard for second spot for several laps, Evan was caught out when the competitor directly in front of him bobbled and Evan swerved to avoid contact. That momentary loss of momentum allowed the two following drivers to take advantage and pass the duo and take over the second and third positions. Evan returned to battle with fellow Victory Lane Karting teammate, Don Osmond for the fourth position. At the checkered flag, Evan crossed the line virtually latched to Osmond's bumper for a strong fifth place finish.
"I certainly had a lot of fun today!" Evan noted after the race. "I expected tight competition but this was even better than that! I look forward to all the remaining rounds of the Championship. Thanks to my dad, GoEnzo.com and Joe Cooley of Circuit Motorsports."
Round 2 of the NCIKC moves to Race City USA, Mooresville, North Carolina. The event will be held at The Pit Indoor Kart Racing facility on March 22nd.
Evan offers his gratitude to sponsoring partners, GoEnzo.com, YGM LLC, and Circuit Motorsports
