The Motori is getting real close. at most tracks, you better not show up with a rotax, leopard or prd unless you just want to park it and watch. he is not encouraging to raise the weights because he thinks the weights on the upper end are already at their limits. he recommends reducing the weight on the rotax, leopard and the prd. he will present numbers where he thinks they should be at the september board Meeting. or the Tag committee to do that based on their experience and knowledge. feels there needs to be some adjustments made for the motor packages. Motley states they will need supporting data on these. need to factor in the driver. suggests diederich to look at the sKusa weights. diederich to give to the Tag committee chairman for handling. Grand National Waiver Process diederich has issue with the waiver fee payment. feels it should go to the region. feels fee should be graduated based on number of punches. hilger states a decision was made for the fee to stay in the iKf; hard to determine which region would get the fee. scribner agrees with the graduated waiver fee. verlengiere asks araki what he thinks of the waiver process. arake replies it is way too lax, people are using it to their advantage, people knowingly going into a season and not racing with the iKf and then use the waiver process to go to a grand national for a minimal fee. Motley states they are not going to iKf races during that period. diederich states that is what irritated him the most. he is aware of an instance, which he verified, where a racer was travelling 8 hours to a non iKf series and then paid a $200 waiver to get into the iKf grand nationals – that is wrong. states he was inside the 200 miles radius for iKf races. hilger agrees. araki states that if the racer has no punches they would not be eligible for a waiver at all. if they are missing some punches, could pay a fee for waiver. This discussion is about those within the 200 mile radius. ataki states racers who do not qualify for a waiver according to the iKf rulebook have been granted a waiver. hilger agrees. verlengiere states he granted waivers and there was a down side to those approvals. Bryan Eady Issue diederich states there have been two region 11 races since the 2 cycle sprint grand national. diederich was asked why Mr. eady was allowed at the regional races. lengthy discussion by board regarding Mr. eady’s on and off track actions at the 2 cycle sprint grand national. board discussed the letter received from the race director regarding the incidents at the event and his recommendation of suspension.

Some half a century after it’s opening, there are many who question it’s relevance in today’s sport. Larger, wider, faster tracks have been built on all sides of it. Passing they say is virtually impossible, there is too little runoff, no parking... 20 on and on. But this past weekend, “the little track that could” once again displayed some of the season’s best racing. The weather was a tuners nightmare, hot and sunny Friday. Cold and rainy Saturday, Sunday seemed to be neither. The track is indeed tight, passing extremely difficult. But for those racers who are willing, and patient, opportunities do present themselves. The Racing: Rotax Jr: The Rotax Jr class is currenttly being dominated by the number 98 kart of Mathew Moniz.

Darren Ward, Kory Estell, Brandon Cusack, and Chase Earle; all within inches of each other. Cusack on the loosing end of the deal would wind up in the seventh spot. After taking the checkered, Choquer along with Drew Revord would find themselves starting Heat two from the back due to a DQ in Rotax Junior action KARTER NEWS - september 2010 Saturday’s Heat race. This would now give Andrew Zimmer a chance to run the table as the rest of the field would be forced to battle for position. Choquer and Revord would work hard to make their way through the pack, but Cusack would have the greater success with passing on this tight track, moving all the way up to the second spot behind Zimmer as the checkered flew. Zimmer held a commanding lead throughout the main event as the battle once again was for second, this time it would be between Cusack who had it, and a hard charging Choquer who wanted it. As Cusack worked to hold the spot it was Choquer who would make a diving move to the inside of Cusack as they came onto the front straight with just three laps to go. At the checkered it was Zimmer (Top kart) for the win, followed by Choquer (Tony/BBR) in second, Cusack (CRG/RPG)in third, Revord(CRG) in fourth, and Ward (Tony kart) rounding out the top five. When asked afterwords about the pass by Choquer, Cusack replied: “Brice is a great driver, it was an awesome pass, there was nothing I could do,I wasn’t going take us both out.” Jr I/ Jr II 4 Cycle: Saturday made for wet and rainy conditions as the two groups raced. Myles Pederson set the pace for Jr I with a fast lap of 46.01. Pederson got the lead on the start in Heat one, but would soon be passed by a fast Michael Gutenberger(Arrow) on the inside of turn four lap three for the lead.

Gutenberger came in right behind in second, followed by Pederson in third. It was the no. 52 of Brittney Zamora who would take pole to lead the Jr II class with a fast lap time of 47.59.

The rain continued to fall as Zamora got the lead on the start of the main event, followed closely by Sting Ray.

Mini Max: There would be some great racing in this class come Sundays main event. Kyle Wick put it on pole Saturday with a fast lap of 32.55. Wick came out in front on the start of Heat one as the rain really started to come down. There were many drivers who would spin in all corners of the track leaving them all having to work their way back through the field. While a fast Wick led the entire main event, a hard charging Jake Preston would pass Marco Eakins on the inside of turn A determined Mini Max driver four lap three to take the second spot, all the while looking to get up to the front and challenge Wick for the lead. Sting Ray also looking to get in the mix, made a heads-up move to the inside of turn four lap eight to take the third place spot away from Eakins. Although It looked as though Preston had the speed necessary to catch wick and challenge for the lead, he ultimetely would run out of time having to settle for the second spot.

IAME Cup Jr II: IAME Cup Jr II would once again be sure to draw a crowd as the people came to see if anyone had a chance against Artie Carpenter(Top Kart) who has dominated this class all season long. Carpenter pulled out in front in Heat one, however Parker McKean(Tony Kart/ BBR) would quickly make a pass to the inside of turn four lap two to take the lead. Paige Wallin(Intrepid) running strong would be next to pass Carpenter, this time on the outside of turn four lap four. A disappointed McKean went off the track in turn three to lose the lead and put him out of the race . The main event for these hard charging racers was a close one, starting with Wallin and Kailia Walter(Italkart) getting tangled together coming out of turn one on the start. As the rest of the field moved away, these two were left struggling to make their way back up to the pack. Meanwhile it was Carpenter leading the field, McKean seemed to be the only one who had the speed and position to challenge him for the lead.

It would be Johnny Blair(Italkart) however who would take the lead on Heat one followed closely by Ruscitti, while Scott Hargrove and Adam Isman went back and forth battling for sole possession of the third spot. There were two battles going on throughout the weekend between Blair and Ruscitti for first place, as well as Hargrove and Isman for third place. In the main event, it was clear that no one had a shot at catching Ruscitti; and so Hargrove and Blair were left to fight it out for second. All drivers held their positions throughout the main event 23 Rotax Senior action Rotax Senior winner, Andrew Zimmer 24 with Hargrove staying out in front of Blair for the twenty lap event.

Only Hargrove came out to race Heat one, as he then pulled off the track mid-way through the session. It was Doug Huggler who would lead the main event and take the win home on Sunday. Although Hargrove would run the fast lap of the main event, a spin in turn three would set him back to third, with Kajdy in second. KARTER NEWS - september 2010 Fast Shifter action One-on-One with Matthew Moniz 1. Name: Matthew Moniz 2. Age: 12 3. Hometown: S.Surrey B.C 4. Years in Karting: 5 5. How are you involved in IKF Driver 6. What clubs do you compete with? Westwood, West Coast Kart club 7. What division of karting and which region do you compete in? Sprint, IKF Region 6 Rotax Junior 8. Do you have any sponsors or persons you want to thank for their support? M4 Racing, Lordco Auto Parts, Slave Lake Helicopters, Darko Orcic 9. How did you get your start in karting? My late grandfather bought me a battery powered go kart for Xmas when I was 4 years old. I used it so much I kept killing the batteries in it. At age 5, my dad then bought me a used gas powered kart with a formula one body, and powered by a 3 hp Briggs engine. It had hand controlled brakes and throttle systems. My Dad removed the governer the second time out as I wanted to go faster ! After that, an acquaintance of my Dad’s offered us an old Track Magic cadet kart, complete with a Comer K80 which I drove every weekend at local parking lots, and a local concession kart track. Older drivers at that track thought it was cool how small I was driving a race kart and helped me learn the lines by letting me follow them on the track. Thinking back, this really helped me a lot at the beginning and made racing with others at my first race much easier. I caught older kids in my class off guard when I started winning a few races with my “X” number plate, which was kind of cool for me. I also set the short track lap record at Greg Moore Raceway with the X plate on, which still stands today. 10. What is your most memorable karting moment? There have been several, but the most recent as a rookie in Rotax Junior is beating the Canadian Rotax Junior Champion earlier this year, challenging for the Canadian Championship after competing in 4 of the 6 race series, then denied the opportunity to complete the last two races (because I am 12 years old). 11. Do you have any family members that also race? No, but my dad used to race old McCullochs when he was younger. 12.Besides karting, what other activities are you involved in? Hanging out with friends, Soccer, Football, road hockey, and every type of computer racing game there is. 13. How long have you been an IKF member? Since 2008, our first year competing in an IKF series. 14. Do you set goals for yourself in karting? If so, what are they? Yes, I try to get better every time out, learn new tracks and compete as best I can. I was lucky enough to win the Region 6 Rotax Minimax Championship last year, and am shooting to win the Rotax Junior Championship as a rookie this year. .I would also like the opportunity to race the Gatorz and Florida Winter Tour some day. 15. If we came to your house for the weekend, what would we do? Maybe convince my Dad to take you for a ride in his supercharged Hemi powered 1940 Willys Coupe. The rest of the weekend probably be spent changing your underwear! 16. If you could choose someone to be on the cover of Karter News, who would you choose and why? I would like to have that opportunity some day. I think I am the average kid with a relatively low budget who loves to race karts. No new equipment, no big team, just me and my family against the world who can compete. I think a lot of people would like that. 17. Who is your biggest competition? I’d like to compete at a National event to answer that question, as I’m fairly new in the Junior Rotax class. Every racer is legitimate competition on any race day. It boils down to detailed preparation, consistency, and some good luck. I am lucky to compete against some great drivers in my region. Kyle Byers, Artie Carpenter, Parker McKean, Marcus Brodie, are all great drivers. 18. Tell us about someone who inspires you, or is a mentor to you. My Dad. He always seems to know how to tune my kart the way I like it, and tells me to never give up even if things don’t always go that great. 19. What do you like most about karting ? Battling for a win. (continued on next page) KARTER NEWS - september 2010 25 Points STANDINGS REGION 5 SPEEDWAY 20.What do you think needs the most improvement? I think there are too many karting series happening in our area, which is watering down the amount of drivers attending the races. It would be great if the organizers could get together and have one Northwest Series, visiting all of the great tracks we have. A National event in this region would also be great to have. 21. If you won a million dollars today, and had to spend it in 24 hours what would you spend it on? I have always raced using older equipment, Ebay engines, second hand karts, used tires etc., so would like to buy some new karting gear. I guess I would donate a lot of it to kids less fortunate who may want to try karting. There is a handicapped driver in my area who races shifters, I love to see that. 22. If you got to have 5 minutes to talk to the IKF Board of Directors on any subject, what would you talk to them about? I would thank them for the opportunity to race in the U.S. Region 6 series, and tell them what a great series the Region 6 Rotax / Gold cup is. Bill Hettick and his whole team including the announcer Terry Bridges do a great job of running all the races in a professional manner. I would also ask that more news coverage take place to promote the sport better. 23. What is your favorite thing about karting? The friends and nice people me and my family have met. Setting a fast lap time is also fun, especially if it is faster than times in the senior and shifter classes! 24. Is there anything else you would like to tell us? Karting is a great sport which has helped me learn a lot of new things. Concentration, sportsmanship, competition, set ups, are just a few of the many things I have learned. My Mom, Dad, Sister , and Grandpa come to support me at almost every race, and I know that karting takes a lot of their time money, so I feel pretty lucky. 26 As of 8-3-2010 Junior I Animal Heavy
