PKC SoCal Program Readies for 2009 Finale
Friday, 21 August 2009 13:43
The Superkarts! USA ProKart Challenge South is completing its fifth season next weekend (August 29) with the 2009 finale at the CalSpeed Karting facility in Fontana, California. The same circuit where the season began, located outside the Auto Club Speedway, will end the seven round series on the ‘Grande’ course in the counterclockwise direction. The focus of the weekend, however, will be on the deciding results for the 2009 PKC South championship battles in the nine divisions.

Eyes will definitely be on S3 championship leader Jacob Neal, who barring any trouble should be able to clinch the title with a solid run. The 18-year old has five straight feature wins in the SoCal program (although his winning streak came to an end in the North program last month). Now, Patrick Cushenberry is waiting in the wings if Neal is to slip up at all, needing to score his first feature win of the season in hopes of a title shot. The situation in the S1 category is even closer for Neal as he has Peter Abba on his tail. Separated by just 165 points when counting the drop race, Abba needs to be on top of his game to steal the title from Neal.

Buckwalter Adds to Streak and Takes Championship Lead with Another PKC NorCal Victory
Wednesday, 19 August 2009 07:49
The championship chases are shaping up the contenders – and the pretenders – with the running of the sixth round of the Superkarts! USA’s ProKart Challenge North series on August 15 at the Jim Russell International Karting Center. After a month off from competition, the program got back to business contesting the 0.68-mile ‘Reverse Sprint’ circuit at the Sonoma, California facility for the first time in PKC’s history. The second season of the Northern California series has truly brought a strong regional program to the area for those interested in shifter kart and TaG racing – along with a solid unity among those competing. The racing has also improved each outing, with more and more drivers entering into the battles for the lead, mixing up the championship fights.

One driver, however, has been the focal point in the past few months. Brett Buckwalter added to his win streak – now at three – following the TaG Senior feature race Saturday afternoon, and has positioned himself as the #1 driver heading into the series finale in September. Buckwalter led the qualifying session with Larry Fraser and championship leader Will Martindale all within two-tenths of each others’ fastest lap. Martindale and Fraser, however, began the racing on a sour note as the two made contact through the tic-tac-toe section, allowing Buckwalter to pull out to a solid win in the opening heat race ahead of Nic LeDuc – with Brett Felkins sliding up from seventh to third. In the next session, Felkins had the better opening lap on the cold MG Tires, and was able to lead the first time by the stripe to begin the second heat race. From there, he led all eight laps for the win, with Buckwalter pacing himself on Felkins rear bumper – as Andrick Zeen worked by LeDuc for third.
