Held at Spokane County Raceway - likely during seasonally hot summer weather - the race should prove to be as challenging as any.

"I'm very pleased that Rob Dunn of West Coast Touring Cars has invited us to drive one of his racing cars once again. I'll be driving WCTC'S Dodge ACR that I've raced many times before. I'll be racing in as many as three classes potentially. For this event WCTC have brought in John McDermott to be my car chief and strategist - that is a huge benefit. Could be a busy weekend! The racing in Conference is very competitive and I enjoy that. Also, Spokane County Raceway is one of my favorite road-racing courses in the Northwest!" noted York.

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.

During the second minute of a six-hour race, with Kevin York driving, the West Coast Touring Cars "YorDunFor" PRO3 BMW racing car suffered an engine valvetrain failure.

After nursing the car around the track and back to the paddock area, the WCTC crew - led by John McDermott of WCTC sponsor Car Tender - set to work.

After a miraculous repair performed in record time, York returned to the track to complete his long stint - setting class-competitive times in so doing.

The first driver change found Paul Forgey getting in for his driving time. Paul was met with wet weather and he faced it well driving consistent and careful laps in the increasing dampness.

WCTC team principal Rob Dunn hopped in for the sprint to the finish. The wet weather turned into a deluge - so much so that the race was called complete fifteen minutes shy of the full six hour mark.

In the end, WCTC finished a respectable fourth place in class against the likes of other excellent cars and drivers - such as BimmerWorld owner James Clay of SCCA Pro Racing and Grand Am fame who was driving a brand new PRO3 car in the event.

More details to follow soon...

In the final days leading up to this weekend's 5th Annual Six Hours of Pacific Raceways, John McDermott of WCTC Team Sponsor, Car Tender, has been finalizing updates to the team's BMW PRO3 race car.

Motorsport is one of the most physically and mentally challenging of all sports.

For racing drivers, hydration is of particular importance.

Especially in endurance racing where drivers are in hot race car cabins for multiple hours, concentration is paramount.

Strong correlations between proper hydration and the ability to concentrate have been proved.

What better than for a racing team to have as a partner, the company that is at the leading edge of providing an easy-to-use answer to the hydration question?

nuun offer a perfect balance of electrolytes to ensure the most efficient hydration and is provided in a sturdy, waterproof, easy-to-carry container. Just perfect for a driver's gear bag!

Says Tim Moxey, nuun CEO, “nuun’s used by the best athletes on the planet to manage hydration on the go and with over five years of developing the category we know that our blend of electrolytes works best to help replace what you lose."

"We're pumped to have nuun join us a a Team Supplier!" noted Kevin York during preparation for his upcoming endurance race, the 6 Hours of Seattle. "We've been a huge fan of nuun for quite some time now - since we first discovered the product at an expo in Seattle, years ago. It's great that we'll be using them in their new capacity, at our upcoming Seattle race."

Held this year on Sunday March 28, the event is sanctioned by the International Conference of Sports Car Clubs and presented by the International Race Drivers Club (IRDC).

The six-hour endurance race will host racing teams and drivers from the Pacific Nortwest region with some from as far away as California, North Carolina and even Canada. Featuring pit stops for tires, fuel, and driver changes - while racing against each other in multiple classes and for the overall win - racers will tackle one of the most unique and challenging race courses in the United States.

As he did for last October's 12 Hours of the Cascades, Kevin will be driving the Car Tender/GoEnzo.com/YGM LLC PRO3 BMW.

*

Practice sessions begin at 9 a.m., the parade lap will be at 10:55 a.m. and the race will go from 11 a.m. to the checkers at 5 p.m.

The IRDC will be providing road racing fans guest passes to attend this exciting event.

FUN WILL ONCE AGAIN BE HAD BY ALL!

WCTC's Team OYorDunFor finished a very respectable fifth in class and ninth overall in the 34th annual 12 Hours of the Cascades held at Portland International Raceway last weekend.

Driving the Team OYorDunFor/Car Tender/GoEnzo.com/YGM LLC PRO3 BMW, Tom Olsson, Kevin York, Rob Dunn and Paul Forgey all put in solid performances during their respective stints.

The conditions ran the gamut from dry to torrential downpour and all variations in between.

Starting at 9:45AM and concluding at a very dark 9:45PM, the race saw some attrition but most teams persevered to the end.

An exalted Kevin emerged from the car at race's end

The creative artists at Indocil Art have worked with Kevin to create a new and fresh variation on the usual helmet design he has run since 2001.

Working with the required basic theme of a silver shield covered by a blue St.Andrew's cross and adorned with a gold bezant (from the York family coat of arms), Ryan and Dwain at Indocil have created a sparkling and eye-popping artwork.

"The usual York crest 'shield' is depicted as a 'flag' in this one. As such, it is draped over a modern scheme - of which only hints of it can be seen. The dark grey and silver colours are favorites of mine - as is the hot pink that signifies a Taurean lucky colour! I really like the overall look. As is typical for these things, it looks even more spectacular in person!" related Kevin as he described the design premise of the new look.

Kevin debuted the helmet in competition at the 34th annual 12 Hours of the Cascades at Portland International Raceway, Portland Oregon.

York to partner with stalwart team led by 2005 SCCA Northwest Region ITA champion.

Kevin York will return to Portland International Raceway with West Coast Touring Cars' (WCTC) for the 2009 edition of the Twelve Hours of the Cascades.

The event is the 34th annual edition of the famed endurance race. Unique this year however, will be two events within one. There will be a six-hour race as well as the twelve-hour race. Both will start at the same time and competitors will be on track together. The six-hour event will simply end in the middle of the afternoon while those in the twelve-hour will race into the dark of night.

"Our participation in this event - and successful completion of it - will be an exciting way to continue the relationship with our friends at the West Coast Touring Cars team." Kevin remarked. "I look forward to driving with Rob again as well as our co-drivers for the event, Paul Forgey and Tom Olsson. I know the team - and sponsor Car Tender - are working hard to make the new BMW PRO3 car fast and reliable. We'll be gunning for a P2 class win this year to go along with the P3 class win I enjoyed in 2004."
