Another one is in the books. Let me first apologize for the scoring errors the first half of the day. It took me longer than expected to isolate the problem with the scoring loop. I also spent a few days at headquarters upgrading a few things so that held up the points, race reports and photos. So now that we've got that out of the way let’s get to business. I just posted the Race Report. Last night, I uploaded a small sample of Photos. Championship Points were updated yesterday. And MyLaps were available immediately after the event. See you in Buttonwillow (bring sunscreen!). |

 The 2012 California ProKart Challenge season reached the halfway point following this weekend’s round three proceedings at the Adams Motorsports Park. The historic 7/10-mile course hosted the Superkarts! USA regional for the second straight year, with 10 categories battling around the challenging circuit and more than half witnessed first time winners. More than 80 drivers converged in Riverside, CA with the championship chases heating up, all vying for a part of the over $65,000 prize package up for grabs this season. Adding their names to the list of contenders in the headline categories are Nicky Freytag and Devin Lindsey, winners of the main events in S1 and TaG Senior.
Qualifying was a tight affair for the Extreme Karting-sponsored S1 Pro Stock Moto division, as the top three drivers came in within six-hundredths of a second. Ryon Beachner earned the pole position honor with his fast lap of 42.039 seconds. S1 rookies Freytag and Josh Lane, making his first California PKC start, clocked in second and third. Beachner went wire-to-wire in both 10-lap heat races with Freytag trailing. Lane had issues in heat one, allowing point leader Jimmy McNeil to advance to third in both moto races. As he did for the entire day, Beachner led the way in the main event early – until Freytag worked around to take over the point on lap three. From there, Freytag was able to stretch out to a sizable lead with the fast laps of the race. The Arizona driver would earn his first S1 victory, crossing the line 1.1 seconds ahead of Beachner. McNeil would cap off the podium with a solid point day, finishing in front of defending champion Brad Dunford and Clinton Schoombee, second in points entering the weekend.

 In order to take advantage of the re-organization and re-opening of a very popular race track, to best accommodate the PKC racers that spread from Southern California to Northern California, and to enjoy the best possible weather that this ocean-close race venue has to offer in the summertime, Pro Kart Challenge CA has decided to move Round 5 of the 2012 championship series to the Santa Maria kart track at the airport. A special thanks goes out to the SMKA board members who helped accommodate our change, and especially to the San Diego Karting Association, who will hopefully welcome us back next time!
Additional information regarding this event will be posted shortly, including the host hotel, pit spot reservation specifics, and other race event details. Stay tuned, and please help us spread the word!
