thought were some of the best photos
from Karter News in 2008. There
was no particular criteria other than
captured moments that caught our
eye; be it the subject matter, quality
of the photo or the uniqueness of
the image. Thank you to all of the
contributing photographers for

IKF Experts Team up
to Capture Podium in Spain
By Chris Scribner
T
his past November Italian engine
manufacturer, IAME Spa, held the
annual IAME International Challenge in Alcañiz, Spain. The 1.03 mile
track, Motorland de Aragón, is a CIKFIA Level A approved karting facility.
The chassis were identically prepared
FA Victory karts powered by IAME X-30
engines. The three day event consisted
of top drivers invited from 14 different countries divided into two 3-driver
teams representing each country. The
event is a six-hour endurance race that
is divided into two 3-hour segments.
Three drivers representing one of
the Team USA entries were all IKF
Experts and teamed together to capture a podium spot on the prestigious
steps of this International Karting
Event. The three drivers representing
Team USA were: Jim Russell Jr. (six
Duffys), Chuck Gafrarar (four Duffys),
and Chris Scribner (seven Duffys).
The first day was open practice for all
teams. Day two was qualifying and
the first 3-hour race. Day three was the
Jim Russell, Jr, Chris Scribner, Phil Kirby (team Manager) and Chuck Gafrarar
final 3-hour race. Final finishing positions were determined by combining the results for both 3-hour races.
Team USA with Russell, Gafrarar and
Scribner finished third. The other USA
team headed by IKF Expert Joey Licata, Jr, Kyle Weigand, and Joey Winsett
finished a respectable sixth.
Much has to be credited to IKF for
sanctioning world class competitive
events, allowing these three competitors
to polish their skills to compete internationally. 2008 was USA’s first podium
finish for this annual event.

B
ack in the year 1985 I was hired by
the Newton Kart Klub to provide
the Karter News a story recapping
that track’s 2-Cycle Speedway Grand
Nationals. As a recent college grad
with a degree in Communications and
a full time gig as Editor of a small town
paper, I thought moonlighting for a
week at a kart track might be a nice
way to spend my hard earned vacation time while simultaneously adding
a few dollars to my pocket.
Two things happened that week that
have forever changed the course of my
life. The first is that several other Speedway promoters got wind of the fact that
I knew just enough about karting to be
the potential author of recaps for their
future Grand National events. The second is that I met my future husband.
Little did I know that once I learned
to change a few tires, switch a few gears
and properly operate a stop watch, the
travel opportunities available to kart
racers would open up. The US Navy
may advertise that you can join their
ranks and see the world, but they have
nothing on Kart racers!
In the past 23 years Jack has taken
me to nearly every corner of the United
States for some sort of karting event.
Granted, the only parts of each “corner”
I’ve actually seen have been the Super 8
Motel, the track and the road that connects the two. But I’ve traveled...
I’ve been to the state of Ohio, where
Jack and I met a complete stranger in
a dark parking lot to purchase a kart
frame, which was apparently quite a
bargain.
I’ve been to Louisiana, where the
weatherman on the television didn’t
22
By Sharee Hoegerl
dare tell us the actual temperature
outside, but did stress that everyone
should move at a speed appropriate
for the “heat index”, a number that
was consistently well into 3 digits.
I’ve been to Seattle, where I observed
that the worst profession in the world
has to be that of the school bus driver
who motors a bus full of screaming
students onto a ferry, then has to sit on
the bus WITH those students for the 45
minute trip across the bay
I’ve been to New Mexico, where the
hometown crowd assured me that sand
storms are rare; I should have been suspicious when I saw that every trailer
with a New Mexico license plate had
pairs of goggles hanging right inside
the door for easy access when the sand
storm did strike.
I’ve been to Arizona, where temperatures required one to wear a winter
coat (suitable for Iowa winters) during
registration, shorts and t-shirt by Feature time, and back into the winter coat
as tech wrapped up. As a side bar, it
was on this trip that we learned never
to fire the flagman until ownership of
the actual flags is determined. If personnel changes are required despite
ownership, it is good to know where to
find the nearest Wal-Mart for purchase
of fabric, dowels and a staple gun.
I’ve been to Nebraska, a state
plagued with drought until the IKF
Grand Nationals pulled into town.
Four days of monsoon like weather (9”
of rain total) had created a beautiful
lakeside track. For the record, cones
and disc blades rarely keep speedway
karters from shoving each other into
the infield, but not a single kart tire
hit “lake water” that week.
I’ve been to a corner of the California desert where I was certain the Israelites wandered those 40 years. For the
record, I did not spy any manna in the
early morning light.
I’ve been to Jamaica… not the one
basked in sunshine with pristine
beaches, but rather the Jamaica that is
just down from the slaughterhouse in
Perry, Iowa.
I’ve been to Delaware… not the
state on the east coast, but the Delaware that is a dot on the map somewhere between the Mississippi River
and Waterloo, Iowa (which is, by the
way, home to another slaughter house
– Iowans are meat eaters).
I’ve been to Florida, where I learned
that it is possible to burn the shins of
both legs simultaneously on an exhaust
pipe if one is particularly graceful. Jack
is still uncertain how I accomplished this
feat, though I have the scars to prove it.
I’ve been to Georgia and Tennessee
and Indiana and Texas; stranded at an
airport in Colorado and at both the old
and new airport in Ontario, California.
If you’ve restricted your kart racing
to your local track, or even just your
Region series, consider all that karting
has to offer. The 2009 Grand National
schedule could take you to all sorts
of fun places, including two stops in
the Lone Star State. Grand National
events are slated in Slidell, Texas; Reno,
Nevada; Redding, California; Newton,
Iowa; and Winona, Texas.
Load up the trailer, pack up the family and see some of our great nation this
summer. Race, wrench or spectate…
it’s all good. See you at the track!

Shasta Kart Klub Parade
S
taying true to the foundation
of our club, we involved young racers and families last
weekend in the annual holiday Christmas parade. A wonderful
event that will cause local parents to research karts after seeing our
kids glowing (literally) with a smile for the complete parade route.
We used an XM radio to play holiday music throughout the
parade. A few of the kids were actually voiceless towards
the end from singing along! For their efforts, they won a first
place trophy in their class, along with a lasting memory.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year from Shasta Kart Klub!

Tyler's First Win!
HPV 2 was the final class of the 2008
season. Jacob Will scored the pole with a
grand qualifying effort, but after a near epic
prefinal he started the final from fourth.
Camden Geise led the seven kart train to
the checkered flag in the prefinal with Tyler
Palmer, Raquel Martinez, Will, Jared Torres,
Kyle Shriver and Dylan Nobile all lined up
behind him. Missing from that lead group
was Adrian Starrantino who finished back
in tenth. Starrantino, Nobile and Martinez
were the only three drivers in contention
for the championship. The final went down
to Geise and Palmer trading the lead in the
early stages of the contest and Palmer and
Geise swapping the lead in the late stages of
the contest. Martinez played her part from
third place, watching and waiting for the
time to strike. The lead trio distanced themselves from a chase group seven strong and
ran alone to the finish line. I really thought
Martinez has something in the bag, but as
it turned out Palmer was the one to come
through for a big win. His victory didn’t do
a lot for him in terms of the championship,
but it did help Nobile to beat out Starrantino
by only 23 points. Shriver and Skeer completed the top-five with Starrantino coming
away in sixth and Nobile managing tenth.
Italkart is proud to introduce
the redesigned 2009 kart.
A stellar new sticker kit and the addition
of the KG New Age bodywork top the list of
most eye catching changes.
The red and green colors synonymous
with Italkart have remained unchanged
until now. 2009 begins a clean slate for Italkart. After months of design, adjustments
and implementing intricate details, the bar
has been raised.
“We are very excited to introduce the new
Italkart look and chassis to the North American market,” said Brian DeVries of Italian
Motors USA. “We know a lot of hard work
and dedication has gone into the development of the new kart and we look forward
to seeing the results on the track.”
The 2009 Italkart chassis debut was made
26
at the Stars of Karting event in New Castle,
Indiana. Factory driver David Jurca went on
to capture two podiums including a victory
in the prestigious ICC shifter class. Not only
has the look of the 2009 been improved, but
the chassis has undergone several key revisions. These modifications not only build on
the design, but on the overall performance.
The front end of the kart has undergone
several adjustments that improve the way
the Italkart adapts and responds to the race
track. Advancements have also been made
to the new Italkart braking system, which
incorporates an innovative design and further reliability.
The announcement of the 2009 Italkart is
also accompanied with the launch of a completely revamped www.italkart.com. The
website has undergone significant changes
and improvements to accommodate the
new chassis and detailed analysis of all the
refinements. The site also includes in-depth
chassis setup guides, chassis comparisons
and dealer contact information.
Those interested in the 2009 Italkart
product line or possible dealers can visit
www.italkart.com for more details.
It has also been won by Scott Speed (2002),
Bobby Wilson (2003) and Kyle Wiegand
(2004 & 2005). The King of the Streets race is
sponsored by the Bob Bondurant SuperKart
School in Phoenix, AZ.
Roger Ruthhart, president of the Rock
Island Grand Prix, is happy to see the King
of Streets tradition continue. “This event has
changed over time, but has always provided
a challenge for the top gearbox drivers in
the sport. There’s no advance practice. Just
show up, learn the course and race. At first
look, the course does not appear technically
difficult, but the street course challenges
drivers in ways they are not used to.”
Presenting Sponsors are AT&T and
Mazda Motorsports. The $25,000 RIGP
purse is sponsored by Jumer’s Casino &
Hotel. Other major sponsors include Kart
Expo International presented by Sodi Kart
and The Dispatch, and Rock Island Argus
newspapers.
The Rock Island Grand Prix, the world’s
largest karting street race, draws entries from
throughout the United States and Canada,
competing for one of karting’s largest purses.
It has also hosted racers from Italy, France,
Colombia, Costa Rica, England, Argentina,
Bermuda, the Philippines and Mexico. It
includes 14 feature pro races in 4-cycle,
2-cycle and shifter classes. The races are also
broadcast live worldwide via the internet by
RaceFanRadio.com. It is held Saturday and
Rock Island Grand Prix announce
changes for 2009 King of the Streets
ROCK ISLAND, IL. – Superkarts! USA
and the Rock Island Grand Prix have
announced that the 2009 King of the Streets
race will feature the S3 Stock Moto class.
At its inception, and during the glory days
of the SKUSA Pro Moto Tour, the moto class
featured the top drivers competing for the
King of the Streets crown – the most coveted
title in shifter kart racing. More recently it
featured top Intercontinental C drivers. Now,
beginning with the Sept. 5-6, 2009 event, the
King of the Streets race will again showcase
top drivers in moto shifter karts.
King of the Streets was originally created
as an event that would circulate among
various temporary venues. The 1998 event at
the Oklahoma City Grand Prix was won by
Joe Janowski. In 1999 Alan Rudolph won at
Quincy in the Park. From that point, the race
has had a permanent home at the Rock Island
Grand Prix and become one of the most
coveted titles in kart racing. The reigning
King is Alex Speed. Alan Rudolph has won
the crown four times (1999, 2000, 2001 & 2006).
Sunday of Labor Day Weekend.
AT&T is the largest telecommunications
company in the United States and one of
the largest in the world. It is the recognized
world leader in providing IP-based
communications services to business
and the U.S. leader in providing wireless,
high speed Internet access, local and long
distance voice, and directory publishing and
advertising services.
Mazda’s involvement in motorsports
extends to its relationship with Mazda
Raceway Laguna Seca, one of the world’s
