TAG, Cadet and Jr
Can Fields Strong for Double Weekend
Wampum, PA
July 9,
2007 -
The on track action at BeaveRun is always close and
exciting but now a battle is starting to brew between classes. The
TAG, Cadet and Yamaha Junior Super-Can classes continue to grow rapidly and
the draw of two full days of action in one weekend helped to further
bolster kart counts.
The 12-15 year olds in the Junior Can class were 15 strong each day while
the Senior TAG (over 15) class featured twenty karts each day. The always
exciting Cadet racers didn't disappoint
either with fifteen 8-12 year old pilots on the grid on Saturday followed by
a whopping 21karts on Sunday.
Sam Beasley provided a familiar sight for the Junior Can
racers, the back of his kart, as he motored to another pair of wins on the
weekend making him four for four in the races he has entered this year at
BeaveRun. Chris Horan finished the weekend with two second place finishes
while Blaise Haynes and Maryland's Grant Cain each landed a third place
finish.
The TAG class featured huge fields on both days and plenty of action as
current points leader Brian McHattie topped Marshal Vortriede by just .082
seconds on Saturday for his first win of the year. Cy Schumacher won on
Sunday, the third time in four races this season. Both Schumacher and Matt
Machiko broke in to the 56 second range on Sunday.
Jacob Donald, the 2006 BeaveRun Cadet Champion, returned
to form for the first time this season in a big way by winning the Saturday
race and finishing third on Sunday. The Sunday race proved to be a close
affair as just .067 seconds separated first place finisher Breyton Santee
from Donald with Trent Walko somehow finding a spot for second in between.
Ayrton Climo won the Cadet B feature on Sunday.
Brian Callan swept
both legs of the Yamaha Heavy class while Noah Stark scored a first and a
second in shifters with Brian O'Hara taking top honors on Sunday.
Virginian Michael Moshenek proved to the quickest of the Stock Shifter group
each day as well.
The Kid Kart racers,
the 5-8 year olds that everyone loves to watch, were in fine form as Eli
Ciotti, Joey Pendergrass, Shane Killen, Chase Smith, Conner Evans and Nate
Kazienko all took to the BeaveRun track. These young racers are the future
of the sport of karting and it is good to see that the sport is in great, if
not small, hands with these young drivers.
Chris Livengood
dominated the Rotax races each day of the double weekend followed by
Jesse Fischbach. Garret Huff found the final top
three spot on Saturday while Audrey Staton moved
to the podium position on Sunday.
The Great Lakes Sprint Series and the WKA Manufacturers
Cup events will race on the Wilson Circuit next, July 13-15th and July 20-22nd
respectively. The BeaveRun Championship Karting
Series returns to action for the seventh race on the
schedule, July 29th. For more information about BeaveRun Karting, please visit
