We are in full swing of the 2014 karting season. The winter series
have all wrapped up and champions have been crowned. Being
in the heart of the karting season means the dreaded heat. For
drivers all over the country summer brings “fun in the sun”, but
can also bring on heat exhaustion. Good thing that in this issue we
have some products that will keep the drivers and mechanics cool
while it is sweltering hot outside. Coolmax® material is well known
for its moisture wicking properties that creates a evaporation
effect, much like when a breeze blows across your sweating face
and you feel that instant cooling. There are also other products
“For drivers all over the
country, summer brings “fun
in the sun”, but can also bring

on the market that are actually cold and keep your core body
temperature at a more even state. As you read through this issue
of GoRacing your will find these cooling products that are here just
in time for summer.
We also interview our first circle track karter, Logan Glover in this
issue. Logan is setting an example that every karter should follow.
He is humble and thankful for everything he has and does. This
young man is also helping raise money for Jeff Gordon Children’s
Foundation to do his part in beating cancer. Read about Logan and
how much he has already raised for such a great cause.

SWINDELL WINS AND

Kevin Swindell, four-time Chili Bowl Champion, was a first-time Little 600 winner
against a stacked field of NASCAR drivers.

time before the checkered flag flew, giving
Swindell the win, followed by Logano and
Herring.
Denny Hamlin and Drew Herring led the
field of 22 rental karts to green in the Little
600 15-lap main event. By lap two, Swindell
had taken the lead and Kyle Larson had
raced his way from last place into the top10. Herring and Ryan Blaney attempted to
work together to draft in order to reel in
Swindell while Joey Logano watched on
from third place.
GoPro Motorplex would like to thank all 26
drivers who ran in the Little 600!
With just nine laps to go, it was Ross
Chastain and Ryan Blaney who were tangling for third place and an intense six-kart
battle for fifth position ensued behind
them.
The field restarted with Swindell out front,
followed by Herring, Chastain and Logano.
It was a dicey first lap as the field made
their way through the tricky chicane in
Turn One. The top-four were nose-to-tail
with just three laps to go. Swindell continued to lead, but Logano was hand motioning for Herring to close onto his bumper
so the two could work together to try and

What the Drivers Were Saying:
“Man, that caution was cool to have in
the middle of the race,” said Joey Logano.
“Herring and I had an agreement and I was
motioning him to team up with me to draft
and catch Swindell, but it just didn’t work
out. Great event here tonight, great that all
these fans came out too. What a fun race
with all these guys.”
“I guess the key to winning was I managed
to get a good kart,” said Kevin Swindell. “I
was pretty worried those guys were going
to get together to gang up on me. It’s so
cool to be a part of the Little 600 event. I’m
pretty sure Larson and myself were first
in line when GoPro Motorplex opened up
to get karts and a garage out here. So, it’s
really cool to see this place be successful
and grow to put on this large of an event.
Thanks to GoPro and everyone involved
tonight.”

Florida
Winter
Tour
16 YEARS LATER AND STILL GROWING
was split into two separate Championships,
racing on back-to-back weekends. This
format, consisting of the FWT Formula Kart
Racing Championship and the FWT Rotax
Max Challenge, remains in place today.
The Formula Kart Productions Florida
Winter Tour is one of kartings oldest and
longest continuously running racing
programs. From its humble beginnings
in the winter of 1999 “The FWT” has
grown into one of the world’s largest,
geographically diverse, competitive and
prestigious sprint kart racing programs.
Bill Wright, exclusive owner and promoter
of The FWT, is excited to report that for
the 15th time in its 16 year history the FWT
recorded an increase in the total number
of drivers and entries during its recently
completed 16th edition. The 2014 FWT
featured 382 drivers accounting for 1,780
entries. Participating drivers represented
26 countries and all six karting continents.
The 2007 “FK” weekends consisted of two
Senior and one Masters shifter classes,
Cadet drivers on Comer 80, Junior and
Senior drivers on ICA (Intercontinental
A direct drive), and Senior and Masters
drivers on the then new “TaG” engines.
The 2007 FWT Rotax Max Challenge
weekends consisted of Senior,
Junior and Masters classes, and
featured the introduction of the
new Mini and DD2 classes.
By 2002 the FWT had expanded to
include four shifter classes, two direct
drive classes (JICA and ICA), three Rotax
classes (Junior, Senior and Masters),
and dropped the SKUSA sanction.
Over the next five years the FWT saw a
slow but steady decline in the number of
classes and entries at the Formula Kart
Racing Championship. Conversely, for
the next five years the FWT Rotax Max
Challenge showed steady growth and
the introduction of two new classes.
Amazingly, even during the economic
troubles after 2008, the overall numbers
for the combined programs continued
to climb every year until 2013, when
economic pressures and the introduction
of several competing programs finally saw
a slight decrease in overall participation.
Sadly, 2013 was also the first time in its
15 year history that the FWT did not
feature a shifter kart Championship.
In 2006 the growth of classes and
competitors had reached a point that
a single event weekend didn’t provide
enough time to meet the increasing
demands of the series. So for 2007 FWT
2014 Formula Kart Racing
Championship
It is the height of irony that the classes
that disappeared from the FWT “FK”
Championship in 2013 helped it to grow
A Short FWT History Lesson
FWT began as a Honda CR125 based
shifter-only SKUSA program. The
first FWT race, actually contested in
December 1998, consisted of 24 drivers

substantially for the second consecutive
year in 2014. Shifter karts made a return
to FWT in a big way, providing the largest
percentage of an amazing 34% growth
in the 2014 FWT “FK” Championship,
averaging 110 drivers and 222 entries
per event-weekend, with a high of 117
drivers at the March rounds in Orlando.
2014 FWT Rotax Max Challenge
Sometimes success can be its own worst
enemy. After an amazing 10 years of
double-digit growth-percentages, the
FWT RMC succumbed to an increasingly
overburdened event schedule and
competition from the introduction of
several new RMC’s, and for the past
two years has shown a decrease in
overall participation. The good news is
that even with these declines it is still
the largest official RMC series in the
world. The 2014 FWT RMC averaged
184 drivers and 372 entries per event
weekend, with a high of 210 drivers at
the January rounds in Homestead.
The Future Looks Bright!
Over the past 16 years many things have
changed in karting in The Americas.
Series, predominant classes and engine
makes and models have come and gone.
One constant has been the ownership
and leadership of Bill Wright at the
Florida Winter Tour. Although the FWT
classes and formats may change, Bill’s
dedication to providing a safe, competitive
and fun racing program, and his
commitment to providing groundbreaking
advancements in marshaling and event
media coverage have not, and Bill looks
forward to many more years of “SERIOUS
FUN!” at the Florida Winter Tour.

VETTEL MAKES KARTING
RETURN AS F1 TROUBLES
CONTINUE
Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel may be struggling
to keep pace with the Mercedes cars this season but the Red Bull
star looked back in his element as he returned to karting during a
recent break in the Formula One calender. Vettel’s achievements
in karting as a child were key behind him being spotted by Red Bull
at the tender age of 11, from where the German driver has gone on
to establish himself as one of the sport’s all-time greats.
Following a disappointing fifth-place finish at the Chinese Grand
Prix, Vettel took advantage in the three-week break to enter the
German championship race in Bavaria for compatriot Michael
Schumacher’s KSM team. As well as taking part in his first kart race
for over three years, Vettel also worked alongside kart-maker Tony
Kart for two days of testing at the Lonato circuit in Italy before the
event.
The German star could be forgiven for trying to get back to winning
ways by making a starring appearance at the karting event. Despite
dominating the sport for the past four years, Vettel currently finds
himself 82 points behind Nico Rosberg at the top of the drivers’
championship standings While the Mercedes’ driven by Rosberg
and Lewis Hamilton have been head and shoulders ahead of the
rest of the field since the start of the year, Vettel has managed just
one visit to the podium so far in 2014 – coming following his third
place finish in Malaysia.
While Vettel’s run of world championship victories appears to be
coming to an end, barring a sensational second half of the season,
Red Bull still have one of the sport’s best ever drivers in their car.
From his karting days to his run of four F1 world championships,
Vettel has more than proven his class as a driver despite his
troubles this season.

A NEW FRONT FAIRING ATTACHMENT TO
FIGHT AGAINST ON-TRACK INCIDENTS
The CIK-FIA announced in late 2014 that it would work to make
racing fairer by fighting against bad behaviour on the track. One
of the ways chosen for this will be in use in 2015, a new system
for fixing the front fairing to limit contact between karts.
Since the introduction of kart bodywork, especially the rear
bumper, the behaviour of some drivers who are accustomed to
pushing other competitors has become unacceptable. Karting
too often looks like stock car racing. Frustrated by the lack of
action by the various parties involved, the CIK put together a
small group of experts to find a solution. The CIK then asked the
company KG to translate the ideas into reality. It soon became clear
that no viable solution could be found using the rear bumper, so
research was directed towards the front of the kart. KG submitted
a proposal to create a special “front fairing mounting kit”.
After several more and more successful attempts on the track, a
satisfactory solution has been found. With this new fixing, if a driver
pushes the driver directly in front of him with a force considered
greater than what can be tolerated, a difference of more than 5 km
/ h, the front fairing will come out of it’s initial position and will be
shifted to the ground while remaining secured to the chassis. The
offending driver will then go through the Repair Area to reposition
the front fairing properly. The operation is quick and simple, but
very detrimental to the driver’s classification, prompting reflection
and eventually causing a real change in behaviour on the track.
The World Motor Sport Council has already approved the
new direction of the CIK-FIA. The technical regulation and
the procedure for the approval of bodywork is ready to
implement the new fixing from 1st January 2015 in the CIKFIA competitions. The ASNs can also apply this new rule.
A sufficiently stringent approval process will ensure perfect
similarity between all models, which will respond to impact in
the same way. The tests this year in collaboration with several
manufacturers have left no room for doubt on this point,
as several models have already met these strict criteria.

BUYER’S GUIDE
KEEPING COOL
Why choose Coolmax® fabric? For the simple reason of staying dry and comfortable when you
start to perspire.
Sweating is one of the body’s natural mechanisms to stay cool.
Engineered with special technology to wick moisture and enhance
drying, COOLMAX® fabric helps you stay dry and energized - exactly
what you need to feel comfortable not only during the day, but also
through your toughest workouts.
Since 1986, COOLMAX® fabric has been delivering benefits to help
top athletes push harder and longer. Today, COOLMAX® fabric
appeals to the fashion conscious who prefer a cool, soft and high
performance fabric that fits every lifestyle. COOLMAX® fabric is the
confident, sophisticated choice for active consumers.
How it works
1.
COOLMAX® fabric pulls moisture away from your skin.
2.
COOLMAX® fabric absorbs and spreads moisture out across
fabric to enhance evaporative drying rate.
3.
Air moves in to keep your body cool and dry.

Interesting facts
Moisture management + breathability = total comfort
Breathability - The performance of COOLMAX® fabric is inherent
in the structure itself. The specially engineered fibers allow
fabric designers to create high-performance fabrics that are soft,
breathable, and moisture wicking.
Easy care - Garments made with COOLMAX® fabric are machine
washable and dryable. However, fabric softener and chlorine
bleach should not be used. Some garments may require special care
because of the style, not the fabric. It is best to read the care label
inside the garment. Energy saving - COOLMAX® fabric is so quick drying that you
actually reduce dryer use! Just hang wet clothes and be amazed at
how fast they dry. Great for traveling, too!
Year-round comfort - In cold weather, COOLMAX® fabric is a great
first layer, especially during high aerobic activities. It keeps chillinducing perspiration away from your skin and moves it to the outer
layers for evaporation. You stay warm when your body is dry.

HYPERKEWL
BY TECHNICHE
HyperKewl material is a unique fabric that absorbs and then slowly releases water through
evaporation. To activate, simply submerge the item in water for 1-2 minutes allowing the
HyperKewl™ fabric to absorb the water. Gently squeeze out any excess water, wipe dry
and the garment is ready to wear. Depending on outside temperatures the HyperKewl
garment will stay activated for 5-10 hours, cooling the body 15-20 degrees from the ambient
temperature. Ideal conditions are warm dry climates, as high humidity (90 %+) will diminish
the fabric’s ability to evaporate water and therefore provide cooling.
HyperKewl fabric allows garments to have a uniform cooling effect while staying light weight
and easy to use. The inner nylon is a water resistant fabric that keeps your body dry. A B

the desired fit and exhaust duct shape.
Step 2 - Fit individual plugs
Clean all grease and oil from the bushing
hole and power valve plug cavity.
Insert the right (clutch side of engine)
power valve plug through the bore
of the cylinder and into the exhaust
duct. Gently grind small amounts of
material from the adjustment areas on
the sides of the plug to attain a well
aligned fit with clearance on all sides.
Remove the right power valve plug.
Once the final plug shape and fit are
achieved, filler plugs are pressed into
power valve shaft bearing holes. Then
power valve plugs are epoxy’ed in place.
When the epoxy has cured, the power
valve plugs are drilled to install the
dowel pin that locks them in place.
Insert the left (alternator side of engine)
power valve plug through the exhaust
manifold flange into the exhaust
duct. Gently grind small amounts of
material from the adjustment areas on
the sides of the plug to attain a well
aligned fit with clearance on all sides.
Remove the left power valve plug.
It is recommended that these plugs
be installed by professional engine
tuners or advanced amateurs that have
the skill and the proper equipment
to achieve satisfactory results.
Step 1 - Extract power
valve shaft bushing
Fill the power valve shaft bushing with
thick grease. Eliminate as much air from the
bushing as possible. Insert a close fitting
7/32” transfer punch or drill rod into the
bushing and drive it into the bushing with
a hammer. Repeat as necessary to force
the bushing out with hydrostatic pressure.

Step 3 - Fit plugs together
Insert the right (clutch side of engine)
power valve plug into bore of the cylinder
and then into the exhaust duct. Insert
the left (alternator side of engine) power
valve plug through the exhaust manifold
flange into the exhaust duct. If it won’t
drop into place in the exhaust duct, gently
grind small amounts of material from
the interfering areas of either plug to
attain a well aligned fit with clearance.
Relieve the front surface of the plugs
adjacent to the bore so that there is

about .010” clearance between each
plug body and the cylinder wall.
Step 4 - Blend to exhaust duct
Once the plugs fit together into the
cavity in the cylinder, blend them to the
exhaust duct with rotary file and abrasive
cartridge rolls. Remove the plugs.
Step 5 - Install bearing pocket plugs
Important: Remove all grease, solids and
liquid from the blind inner power valve
shaft bushing pocket. Any material left in
the hole will prevent proper installation
of the plug to be pressed into this hole.
Press the .3485” OD plug into the blind
inner power valve shaft bushing pocket so
that it is flush with the side of the power
valve plug cavity. Check the .375”OD
plug to insure a press fit into the outer
power valve shaft hole. If it is not, peen
the sides of the plug insure a press fit.
GO Racing Magazine
Press the.375” OD plug into the outer
power valve shaft hole so that it is flush
with the bottom of the bearing pocket.
Step 6 - Epoxy plugs in place
Clean all grease and oil from the power
valve plug cavity and the power valve
plugs. Coat the surfaces of the power valve
plug cavity with a quality epoxy such as
Devcon aluminum putty. Insert the plugs
and press into their correct position.
Wipe off excess epoxy. Make sure plugs
remain in place while the epoxy cures.
Step 7 - install dowel pin
Drill a .125” diameter hole through the
outer .375” plug, both power valves, and
the inner bushing plug. The hole length
will be approximately 2.460” long. Do
not drill past the inner bushing plug
into the water jacket. The centerline of
the hole should be parallel to the power
valve shaft centerline and offset toward
the head gasket surface 0.070” from the
centerline of the power valve shaft.
Verify that the dowel pin will slide into
the 0.125” hole. If not, it may be necessary
to enlarge the hole with a #30 drill to
allow a slip fit. Coat the side of the .125”
diameter dowel pin with a small amount
of epoxy and insert in the entire length
of the hole. Cover head of dowel in the
bearing pocket with epoxy and let cure.

ell the kart is loaded, the gear is packed and the
truck is fueled and ready to go. We have gone
over our checklists to make sure we haven’t
forgotten anything, but before we hit the road
I make sure to have the necessary drinks and
snacks to keep us fueled, hydrated and at peak performance.
Especially as we come up to a race weekend, I try to plan and
prepare healthy meals. Planning meals that have a good balance
of proteins, carbohydrates and vegetables. Some athlete’s prefer
to “carb-load” prior to an event, but the important thing is to make
sure those extra carbs are going to be utilized. This is probably
not the time to try a new restaurant or binge on fast food; an
upset stomach is no fun at the track. For adults, enjoying one too
many adult-beverages the night before a race is probably not the
best idea either. Feeling sluggish, dehydrated or having a cloudy
mind is not how you are going to get your best race results.
There are a variety of options when it comes to packing food and
drinks to bring to the track. Some with a motor-coach or toyhauler might have access to a kitchenette and are able to bring a
variety of food and drink options compared to only having a cooler
or even grocery bag from that last minute stop at the store on your
way to the track. Or worst of all you didn’t bring anything and will
plan on hitting a local fast food restaurant during the lunch break.

Regardless, there are some key items to bring to the track that
will help keep you cool, and more comfortable while at the
track this summer! Essentials include sunscreen, a hat and some
sort of shade (an e-z up or umbrella). Shade is at a premium
during the summer months and it is amazing that even when
the temperatures are in the triple-digits a bit of shade can
help cool you down. A wet washcloth or towel in a zip-lock
bag and thrown in a cooler is a welcome relief to put on your
neck after a track session. There are also companies that make
products that help keep you cool on and off the track. Even
in the hot temperatures, my son wears a balaclava (headsock) and prefers the CoolMax® type that helps wick moisture
away and is breathable. Nothing like trying to maneuver your
kart around the track with sweat dripping in your eye.
As for food and drinks, I always make sure we have more than I
think we will need. I pack foods that are easily transportable, stay
fresh and can be eaten with one hand (for Dad when he is working
on the kart between sessions). Some great things to pack include
sandwiches, and they don’t need to be fancy. Peanut butter and
jelly sandwiches are great because you get some protein, and
they do not require refrigeration. Your favorite lunch meat and
some cheese rolled up in a tortilla or on bread is a great option
too. These will need to be kept cold but are easy to make before
you leave or at the track. Snacks such as frozen grapes (can help
GO Racing Magazine
keep other foods cold), apples or oranges have just enough sugar
to satisfy that sweet-tooth and are refreshing at the same time.
Beef jerky is another great option, it doesn’t need to be kept cold;

results.
our preference, but we also pack a couple of sodas too. For some
reason there is nothing like the taste of a Coke after a long day in
the sun, maybe it is just the jolt we need for the drive home, I am
not sure. The goal is to make sure that you are keeping your mind
and body performing at its optimum. Too much sugar, not enough
water and the body starts to find ways to compensate and this
takes away from being able to perform on the track, it also effects
how we handle the higher temperatures that summer brings!
I hope you have found these ideas and tips helpful, I am
by no means a nutritionist or doctor, just a Mom looking
to provide my family with access to healthy food choices.
If you are looking for a specific food program I highly
recommend speaking to a dietician or nutritionist.
Have fun at the track and stay cool this summer!
Let’s beat the heat AND the competition!
but remember the added salt in jerky will make you thirsty, so be
sure to have enough to drink thru-out the day. Speaking of drinks,
the key is to stay hydrated. If your brain is telling you that you are
thirsty, it is too late, you are dehydrated. Water or sport drinks are

fter a close call with the
timing system, it looked
like hope for a smooth
sailing day was lost, but
after some creativity
on the part of the Atwater crew, hope
was restored. As the drivers took to the
track, there was not even a bump in the
road ahead on that beautiful Sunday.
Kid Karts
If you want to see dedication, simply look
to the Kid Karter’s. These kids are the
future of racing and 8 enthusiastic kids
came out to Atwater for Round 3. As their
wheels touched the track, there was felt
excitement as Adam Freire came to claim
a 1st place win from this race. Cooper Hunt,
returning Round 1 champ, was also there
to regain his spot and after a DQ in tech,
went home with high hopes for Round 4.

there was no room for error! Freire was
able to hold off Nelson, Kailey Meris, and

HPV 1
As both of these drivers made their way on
to the track for the first session of the day,
Clayton Williams was back in the game.
He worked hard to push out a hot time of
35.630, just one tenth faster than fellow
competitor Nathan Haney, who propelled
out a 37.700. Williams was able to hold off
the resilient competition behind him, and
with Haney in tow, he took the checkered
flag. Watch out for these guys in Round 4.
Super Sportsman
As 4 contenders made their way to
Atwater for Round 3, it was the Sanders
that dominated the entire day, starting
with a hot qualifying time of 34.150 for
Tate Sanders and 34.180 for Laine Sanders.
Nick Grossi tried to stay snug to Laine’s
bumper but instead clinched the 2nd
position of the day and brought Cody
Stillwell with him onto the scales for the
Main Event. Round 4 is going to be intense!

for the first Heat session and stayed tight
together, but were shadowed by Josh
Fleming who was able to sneak his way
past Tony Senna in the Main Event. Joe
Senna took home the trophy and points
for this Round, but the games have only
just begun. Look forward to some serious
hustle from these guys in Round 4.
HPV 2
Michael Michoff qualified pole with a
32.700, four tenths over the remaining
10 drivers in the HPV 2 class. David
Tooker secured the 2nd place behind
Michoff, creating some intense pressure.
Eric Nascimento worked his way up
throughout the day and created enough

Jr. 1-2 Cycle
36.5300 was the fast lap for the Jr 1 2
Cycle driver’s Qualifying session and 6
drivers pursued the pole setter of Clayton
Williams as they prepared to take the
track for the Heat Session. With William
Fatu only 2 tenths slower, Williams knew
they were going to put in work to pass
him. Dylan Roberts seized his opportunity
in the Heat race and took to the inside
of Williams for the dash to 1st. Williams,
who had Heather Hadley hot on his track,
landed a 3rd place finish for the day, and
reluctantly handed over the win for the
day to Roberts. Cannot wait to see what
is to come for these drivers in Round 4.

15 drivers looked to one another as they
waited on the grid for their Qualifying
session. Kaden Rocha checked in with a
36.860 as a fast lap and hoped that would
be fast enough to keep him comfortably
in the first place finish for this round of
racing. Rob Nascimento, Jonathan Leach,
RJ Kahler, and Kevin Knight were all sitting
in between Rocha and the win. Rocha did
his best to hold off the force behind him,
but the battle was on and R. Nascimento
found his past Rocha and brought Kahler
with him. This class has been consistent

We sat down with Georgia’s own Logan Glover, and
talked all things karting in this interview.

(GoRacingMagazine) Hi Logan, thank
you for taking the time to talk to
GoRacing Magazine. Can you tell
our readers a little about yourself?
(Logan Glover) I am 10 years old, I go
to Dames Ferry Elementary school in
Jones County, Georgia. I am in the 4th
grade and my favorite subjects are math,
science and social studies. I really like
math. I like helping others and I enjoy
participating in school fundraisers that
help people. I was the top fundraiser
in my class a couple of years ago.
(GRM) How did you get involved in
karting? How old where you?
(LG) I was 8 years old and my dad and
Uncle David (Walsh) talked about me
racing karts. I did not know anything
about karting until we went by my Uncle
David’s dealership and they surprised
me with my new kart and said we were
going racing. I was so excited! The
3rd time out, I won my first race.
(GRM) Tell us about the kart you race
(chassis and engine), what class do you
run in and what tracks do you race at?
(LG) My first kart was a 2005 Millennium
Tempest, it was a great kart considering
it was an older chassis. I have won about
13 races with it at the track where I
started at, J.L’s Super Speedway in Lizella,
Georgia. I have also won at Laurens County
Speedway in Dexter, Georgia. This is a
Master WKA (World Karting Association)
track. Right now I race in the Axis Chassis/
Langdale Fuels Maxxis South Georgia
series. We run at Laurens County Speedway
and Callahan, Florida Speedway for this 7
race series. I am currently second in points
in the Purple Plate Junior 2 Clone class and
second in points in the Junior 2 EL tire only
class with 4 races to go. Starting in June I
will race a 2014 Phantom Racing Chassis
Junior Triton kart. Hopefully this will handle
a little better because it is made for juniors.
(GRM) What do your family and friends
think about your kart racing?
(LG) My family loves it! By the way they
talk, I think they are proud of what I am
doing on and off the track. Some of my
friends like it. Some kids don’t believe
I race karts until they see my Facebook
page (Logan Glover Racing LLC.)
GO
48
(GRM) Do you have a favorite
race car driver?
(LG) Jimmie Johnson and Jeff
Gordon are my favorite drivers.
I like how Jeff helps kids.
(GRM) Speaking of drivers, we hear that
you are affiliated with Jeff Gordon’s
Children’s Foundation! That is really
exciting, can you tell us about the
foundation and how you are a part of it?
(LG) Yes, the Jeff Gordon Children’s
Foundation helps kids with cancer. Jeff
Gordon started this foundation to help
raise money for childhood cancer research.
So we sent a letter to them saying we
wanted to help by raising money for the
kids. My dad had some shirts, support
decals and hats made up and we sell
them to raise money. I also went through
my piggy bank at home and got all my
change, my birthday money and money
I got for Christmas and donated it to
the foundation. It was about $350.00.
We also put out collection jars at stores
and at the track when we race to raise
money for the foundation. We have
I would love

driver one day.
Then I would

as many kids
as I wanted.
raised almost $2,000.00 this year. I have
a goal of $5,000.00. There is a link on
my Facebook page where people can
go online and donate, or they can mail
us a check (made out to Jeff Gordon
Children’s Foundation) and we send them
a shirt, hat and a decal. I still haven’t
met Jeff Gordon yet, but I want to.
(GRM) We know that most kart racers
love to be at the track in their spare
time, but do you have any hobbies or
play any sports outside of karting?
(LG) When I am not at the track, I love to
play football, baseball or go golfing with
my dad. I also like to play video games.
(GRM) Where do see racing karts
taking you? Do you want to someday
race professionally? If so, what
kind of cars? If not, what do you
want to be when you grow up?
(LG) Yes, I would love to be a NASCAR
driver one day. Then I would have
the money to help as many kids as I
wanted. I just get to do so much and
there are so many kids that don’t even
get to go outside and play anymore
because they are sick. I don’t like that.
(GRM) We bet you wouldn’t be able to
race if it wasn’t for your parents and
sponsors, who would you like to thank?
(LG) I want to thank God for keeping me
healthy so that I can have fun and race
karts. I don’t have any full sponsors right
now but I hope I will get some soon. I
want to thank my Mom and my Dad for
helping me with everything I do. I also
want to thank my Uncle David for getting
me my first kart, and P.E.C (Performance
Engine and Chassis) in Sylvester, GA for
their help with my new chassis. All of my
family and friends who come and watch
me race and everyone who has donated
to my cause to help raise money for
childhood cancer research. I also want
to thank Mr. Chris (Carroll) for helping
us with my kart. Thank you GoRacing
Magazine for letting me tell my story.
(GRM) Is there anything else
you would like to add?
(LG) Please take a moment and like my
Facebook page, Logan Glover Racing
LLC. You can also click on the link to
donate to the Jeff Gordon Children’s
Foundation. Even if it is only $5, if
everybody donated then that would be a
bunch of money to buy research. I know
my Mom and Dad would be upset if I
had cancer. What if it was your kid that GO
had it? You would want research too.

FROM
KARTS
TO
CARS
Taking your driving to the next level with driver
coaching.
Patricio Jourdain
I
n our last issue we talked about the
aspects on how to transition from
karts to cars; for this to be a smooth
and successful transition it is worth
looking into having a driver coach.
A driver coach will not only help you on
the track, but off the track as well. Not
many young drivers or their parents are
familiar with the motorsports industry
and a driver coach can assist with input
to help make wise decisions for these
younger drivers that will in turn lead to
better on track results, therefore a longer
and more successful racing career.
Who should you pick as a coach? This is
a very pivotal decision that will be made,
because that one person can be the
difference of a driver progressing into
the upper echelons of racing or getting
stuck in the lower level series. Some
coaches are sometimes no further than a
family member. A father, Uncle or older
brother. If this person has enough racing
experience they will be able to help you
to a certain extent. I say this because you
know how we are, most of the time when
GO Racing Magazine
we hear something from a family member
we will not listen, but if someone from the
outside tells us that same thing, we will
Not every

driver coach.
listen to them. For this reason, it is always
recommended to work with a professional
coach to guide you on and off the track.
When you make the decision on
who your coach is going to be, keep
GO
53
in mind that the working relationship you have with your
coach is important. You have to make sure you get along well,
you respect each other, you listen to each other and most
important you know how to communicate with each other
at all times. Not every great driver is a good coach; it takes
a lot more than driving skills to be a good driver coach.
Driver coaches are not cheap but they are worth it. Driver coaches
will normally have a professional racing background, they know
about engineering, data analysis, fitness and mentality and they
have many contacts in the sport; not to mention that most of them
are educated and well-traveled. For these reasons, their rates can
be high; a well-known driver coach having coached numerous
successful drivers can charge between $500 to $1,000 USD per
day, there are always arrangements that can be made between
the driver and the coach, examples such as monthly salaries,
sponsorship sales commissions and so on. For these reasons you
will want to be comfortable with the coach you are working with.
Now a days there are companies around the world that offer these
type of services and can help match you, the driver, with a coach
that will be able to guide you in the right direction, in addition to
this, some companies offer a complete package for the driver; from
driver coaching to fitness and nutritionist professionals, to website
developers and marketing people. If you can afford a service like
this it is always worth it, you can gain so much and it can help
you put the focus back on your driving. (Speed Group AD?)
What should you be working on with your driver coach?
At the track, your coach should be with throughout the track day:
54
GO
GO Racing Magazine
-
Walk the track to begin the day. Discuss the
line, apexes and reference points. Locate key
corners so you can focus on these areas
-
Car or Kart set up before first track session.
-
While driver is on the track, the coach should
be watching your performance to discuss with
you after the session is over. This applies to all
track sessions (practice, qualifying and race)
-
Track session debrief and data analysis (if available). This
applies to all track sessions (practice, qualifying and race)
-
Car or Kart set up changes. Applies to all track
sessions (practice, qualifying and race)
Off the track, coach should always have communication
with the driver in order to keep up with things.
-
Track day general performance analysis on paper.
-
Fitness and nutrition advice.
-
Future plans: upcoming races, team and/or series
changes. What is the best plan for the driver to follow?
This should provide a brief but good understanding
on why a driver coach plays such a big role in a driver’s
racing career; and also give you information on what to
look for when you start scouting for a driver coach.
-
In between sessions keep reflexes sharp
by playing some quick reflex games.
One last thing, we mentioned in our last issue
that becoming a professional race car driver is
not an easy task, but it is not impossible.
-
Before qualifying session, get in “the zone”.
Mentally prepare you for your flying lap.
Keep pushing, don’t let anyone stop you from
chasing your dream and things will happen!
-
Prepare for the race, discuss strategy and performance.
