Tommy Turner, Director of team GoFast.Pro picks up the story:


This evening's NASA Twilight Enduro was fun for the team as well. We were very happy to have Evan York join us for the race. Evan did an incredible job getting the team out in front from the start and then held and impressive lead for his 40 minute shift. We had a bit of a falter with a bobble getting Ian out quickly on the driver exchange lost a little time but going down a bit after some confusion on a mandatory stop and go. Ian did a great job of recovering and after some confusion (to my dehydrated mind anyway) we realized we were still ahead of the pack. Dylan took the final shift and drove very smoothly through a lot of chaos as the tires on all the karts started wearing. We ended with a two lap lead over the rest of the field sweeping the enduros for the weekend.

Evan has been selected by Ian Turner of team GoFast.Pro to join him and the team for the NASA-Mid Atlantic Region's Twilight Kart Enduro.

This is the second of two twilight kart enduros on VIRginia International Raceway's 5/8-mile Plantation Valley Kart Track during NASA's July '09 roadracing, time trial, and HPDE weekend at VIR.

The race will be held on Saturday night July 25th 2009 for 120 minutes, starting at 6:30pm and ending at 8:30pm and is the sixth of eight kart enduros NASA will be hosting VIR in 2009.

Being veterans of the track, Evan has high expectations of himself and his teammates.
