Posted by Tom on 09/14/2011
Endurance, grit, toughness and the will to win are all required to win a 3hr endurance race at LVGP. One team shined above the rest but as a whole it was a tough race run by all competitors. Team Speed Dudes used a winning combination of strategy and quick lap times. Kevin Carney of Speed Dudes created a formula for success and the team executed to perfection. Andrew Pettijohn of Speed Dudes layed down the fasted time ever recorded at LVGP of 27.402. The previous record of Jianni Koburi only stood for 3 days!!
Other notable finishes:
2. Team #1- Josh Scrhreiber ran the race as a solo driver and has finished 2nd in the last 4 endurance races.
3. Bone- Jason Frankenfield finished in 3rd place also competiting as a solo driver. Bone has proven that he can race against the best on the short races and the long enduros.
4. 333- Carl Bligan had a strong 4th place finish. Only 16 years old, Carl completed the entire 3hr race himself! Carl is competitive at karting on a global level and just returned from the Indoor Karting World Championships.
5. Trorosso- Pat Gillin and Kyle Shenk finished strong in 5th place. Making 2 kart swaps hurt their chances at podium but they both threw down their fastest laps ever at LVGP!
6. Wahoud Racing- Mike Egge and Ishmail Wahoud ran a competitive race in the Amateur class. They won the second class. The team hit some road bumps with seat adjustments but proved that they can hang with the PRO’s.
