Evan Looks Forward to Penultimate Round of NCIKC

Penultimate round of the North Carolina Indoor Karting Championship this weekend.

With the momentum of a heat win and a strong run in the final during the previous round at The Pit Indoor Kart Racing in Mooresville, NC, Evan is eager to get to the racing at Rush Hour Karting in Garner, NC.

"I feel very good entering this next round of The Championship." noted Evan from his home in Charlotte. "While we've slipped out of the top-ten in the overall points standings, there has been a lot of good racing and I'm looking forward to more! The new SodiKarts that Rush Hour just received should make it very competitive as well."

Amongst The High Drama At Round 6 of NCIKC Evan Wins A Race!

The soap opera that the NCIKC has become continued today at The Pit Indoor Racing Center in Mooresville, NC

Of the three preliminary heats, Evan won once(!) and finished fourth and sixth in the others.

With sufficient points in place, Evan readied for the Final race.

Questionable driving tactics by competitors and other incidents allowed for the race to be stopped and re-started three times. With all the melee, Evan ended up finishing just outside the top ten. At race's end, York was found two-tenths of a pound (!?) under the required weight. Due to the abundance of controversy, the results of it are still 'pending' as this is written. Updates will follow as they become available.

Evan Endures Frustration At Round 4 of NCIKC

*

Returning to Grand Prix Greensboro (GPG) for Round 4 of the NCIKC, Evan was optimistic that the event would be a good one.

After the controversies from Round 1 at GPG racers were assured that the event would be run this time in a bit more normal and fair manner.

That fact indeed came to pass; the only challenge the drivers had to contend with this time - other than the very narrow confines of the track itself - was the immense variability in the racing karts' performance.

Of the three karts provided Evan for the three heats, two proved to be problematic. Being that GPG do not have many karts in reserve, drivers were forced to drive karts that had performance hindering issues.

That said, Evan put his head down and got to business.

Even his competitors acknowledged that his driving performance in each of the karts he drove was outstanding.

For this round, Evan did not accumulate enough points to make the final. Further, he sustained a blow to his NCIKC championship points total and fell from ninth overall to twelfth (of over 38 drivers in the Championship).

"Sometimes you are dealt a bad hand, just like playing cards. I tried to play the cards - drive the karts - just as well as I could. Today, that wasn't good enough for points but I'm personally satisfied with how I drove what I was given." Evan noted a few hours after the event.

The NCIKC takes the Easter weekend off and will start up again at the Championship's fourth participating facility - Rush Hour Karting in Raleigh, NC - on Saturday, 18 April.
