 Superkarts! USA made a return this past weekend to a long time staple of Colorado kart racing. IMI Motorsports Complex in Dacono, Colorado has been the birthplace of the career for many of the region’s – and even some of the nation’s – best competitors in the sport. IMI played host to the Rocky Mountain ProKart Challenge’s third round of racing this past weekend – presented by American Medical Response.
Racers from all sides of Colorado and Wyoming showed up to do battle on the state’s oldest kart track. While the trip back to the ‘front range’ area was a step back in time for some racers, it was a new experience to drivers of a new generation. The track proved to be a tuning challenge to even the most seasoned drivers, as the track showed unusual amounts of tire wear on Friday during organized practice. Several teams and drivers battled chassis setup to ensure maximum grip throughout the racing action on Saturday. One consistent this year has been the growth of the series as director Stan Bryniarski and the series supporters continue to work feverishly at bringing back a strong and stable regional program to the Rocky Mountain area. The atmosphere within the paddock was positive and the action on track was heated as drivers battled in Superkarts! USA classes and United States Rotax Max Challenge categories.

The Track at Centennial has supported and been an integral part of “Keeping Kids on Track,” a charity event that is hosted by the Denver Bronco Cheerleaders. Due to a scheduling conflict with this event, the Rocky Mountain ProKart Challenge has elected to move their race dates for Rounds 6 & 7 from August 16-18 to one week later, August 23-25. “The RMPKC understands the importance of this event. We fully support such activities and hope that our customers can find an hour or two to stop in and support this worthwhile charity function,” commented series director Stan Bryniarski. “We also sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that this change in scheduling has caused. Hope to see you all at the track!” |

Quality over quantity. That was the theme of the weekend this past weekend at the Rocky Mountain ProKart Challenge opening two rounds in Tooele, Utah at the Miller Motorsports Park. Superkarts! USA and United States Rotax Max Challenge racers from Colorado, Utah, Arizona and Wyoming converged at the always impressive 1-mile facility outside Salt Lake City ready to do battle for the Rocky Mountain region titles.
The Rocky Mountain PKC kicked off its fourth season in Utah. While the entry numbers in several class were lower then expected, total entry count increased over 25% compared to last year’s opening round and is showing no sign of slowing down. The facilities at Miller Motorsports Park, as always left a great impression on racers just as the SKUSA crew managing the race. Staying on schedule, and getting through two full days of racing was completed with ease. Most importantly, drivers and crews alike left the opening two rounds excited for a season of close and exciting racing.
First on the track for two days of racing was the TaG Cadet class. Both days saw absolute domination from a driver new to the regional series this year. Payton Durant was ‘Mr. Perfect’ in Tooele. Sweeping both days in Cadet, Durrant didn’t give the competition a chance to doubt him a single time they hit the track. Saturday, Cody Dempster finished behind Durant with Noah Walter coming home in third. Durrant had an easy path to his four heat race wins, and back to back main event victories on the weekend thanks to starting on pole for every race. The main event on Sunday saw a formidable challenger in Grand Junction’s Tristin MacLeod as he grabbed the holeshot and took the lead from Durrant for the opening circuit. Durrant would reclaim the point and drive to the win. MacLeod ran second nearly the entire race before his axle shifted and he was unable to finish. Derek Deslauriers moved up to second with Riley Cook completing the Sunday podium.
