YORK Motorsport Ready For VLK 24 Hours of Charlotte Endurance Race
Father and son duo, Kevin and Evan York have again been recruited by Jade Gurss and his fingerprint inc. team; for the 2010 24 Hours of Charlotte @ Victory Lane Karting endurance race.
Victory Lane Karting (VLK) - an indoor race facility located in Charlotte, NC - will be hosting their third annual twenty-four hour endurance race on the Sunday and Monday of Memorial Day weekend.
The event will begin on Sunday, May 30th at ten AM and conclude twenty-four fun - and fast-paced - hours later at ten AM on Monday, May 31st!
One of the premier endurance karting events in North America, Victory Lane Indoor Karting will show the competitors a few new twists and turns, thanks to a reconfigured track and new generation Sodikart RX-7 racing karts.
Past events were marked by passes to win with less than 45 minutes remaining, and finished with just 11 seconds separating the winning team from second place.
Home track advantage will be minimized during the 24 Hours of Charlotte, as all the karts are identical and assigned randomly. Additionally, kart equality will be maximized as the teams will switch karts at each fuel stop.
YORK Motorsport updates during the event can be found on Twitter: @YORKMotorsport & @EvanYork

Evan Completes Successful Dirt Late Model Test
New Experiences On Dirt Continue For Young Driver
Having recently completed a successful test in an open-wheel sprint car, Evan York was asked by Shawn Parker - owner of the Dirt Track Racing School team - to return and test a dirt late model race car.
Under the guidance of chief instructor Mark Lowrey, Evan learned the nuances of negotiating a red-clay oval in a large, V8 powered stock car - a radical departure from the nimble go-kart and formula cars he is used to racing on asphalt road courses!
On whole, the day was very constructive and positive.

Evan York Returns To Carolina Speedway To Test Dirt Late Model
Successful First Test Leads To Call Back
Coming on the heels of a great first experience driving a race car on dirt, Shawn Parker of Dirt Track Racing School has invited Evan to test one of the team's Dirt Late Models.
When Evan hits the red clay at Carolina Speedway in Gastonia, North Carolina during the weekend of 3/4 April, he'll again have guidance from experienced racer and DTRS lead instructor, Mark Lowrey.
Dirt Late Model racing can be traced back to the origins of the automobile and competitive auto racing itself.
As a well-rounded racer, Evan has learned to be always open to new opportunities.
"I couldn't be more pleased to be returning to Carolina Speedway to drive yet another awesome race car." exclaimed Evan on learning of the invitation to test. "Shawn, Mark, and the entire Dirt Track Racing School team provide great cars and feedback. I appreciate their professionalism and know I'll learn a lot this weekend."
Most assuredly interested fans can find updates on Evan's Twitter account (@EvanYork) as well as YORK Motorsport's (@YORKMotorsport).
