It was a successful weekend for the Team Aluminos squad at the recent National Guard Superkarts! USA SuperNationals XII. A large tent filled with Aluminos-prepped GP Kart machines did battle outside the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas to earn victories and prizes at the biggest event of the year. With nearly 20 drivers running under the Aluminos banner - many for the first time at the SuperNats - the overall picture was a success for owner Rob Soares and his hard-working staff.
The highlight of the event was the consistent weeklong run by New Zealander Daniel Bray. A second-time SuperNats driver, Bray returned this year determined to redeem himself from a DNF in the S1 main event last fall. With this unfinished business, Bray battled some of the top up-and-coming shifter kart drivers of North America and definitely held his own. Qualifying third, he would go on to finish third, fourth and fifth in the heat races to start outside row one for the main event on SuperSunday. Starting outside row one, Bray ran second for the majority of the 30-lap feature. Heavy pressure put the Kiwi back to fourth with five laps to go, but he battled back to cross the line in second, getting the chance to stand on the SuperNationals podium. Read Full Story on EKN.
