Spec 1 winner Nick Halen in Formula Premier competition
 

The Formula Premier turnout was frankly not what it was last year, with more than a few hot shots abandoning the class for Spec 1. Formula Premier is where the best of the best run and it was no different as Nick Halen (MS Kart/VM) was again out there, although not quite in the dominating nature he’s been used to as the overall champion of the class last year. Maybe it was the additional Spec class taking it’s toll or early season bad luck, but it certainly won’t last long, as Halen is always a force out there and is on everyone’s minds as the man to beat. Attrition here too was the order of the day, forcing frontrunner Slava Prikhodko (Tony Kart/TM) out early, as well as furious flyer Fritz Leesman (GP/Maxter) - who is lightning quick and showed it with wins in both heats…sadly Fritz would not finish the main. With karts off left and right, the door was open for Team Select driver Vivek Tandon (CRG/TM) to take his first Premier class win with an extremely solid drive, making up for two off track excursions in each heat. Brian Anderson (Birel/TM), who has been a series regular since the first race, celebrated his first podium finish. It was an emotional drive for sure, and a great moment, as Anderson’s mother was brought to tears watching her son make a go of it! It’s truly an awesome to sight to see this family, who has been so supportive of the series since day one finally rewarded for their efforts.

Hooray for the Andersons, and the Krafts and the Halens, and the Hendersons and all the other families who make the ProKart Challenge what it is today: simply a great place to race. The next PKC event is at the newly configured California Speedway karting center on February 11.

Mike Mantel was leading in TAG senior class on MSRA23,

Nick Halen wins the 2005 Pro Kart Challenge Championship before the last race.

Our Logan Prescott with his new MS Kid-Kart, has went on to win at Grange
at the US Kart Championship event, as well as, last Sunday at Perris out of
14-entries. He's 3 for 3 this month! His older brother, Andre on an MS
Cadet, won Minimax at Perris, also.

At Grange, Brody Roa won HPV-2 on an MS RA20, and also Dean Richards won
Senior Superbox and Kate Carnahan was second. Jonathon Evans looked poised
for good result in the main only to have the starter nut break on the grid
and the USKC does'nt give points unless you finish.

Dean Richards was back in the winner's circle at LAKC with a resounding win
in Senior Superbox last Sunday, out 7 entries.
 

After 3 races ITALIAN OPEN MASTERS ICC Class MSkart's factory driver Robert Dirks is leading

the Championship.

Jun 12 2005 WKA Santa Maria Walee Waldron was 3rd in Senior Animal Super Supersportsman

Jun 11 2005 Pro kart challenge, California Speedway, Nick Halen won 1st place

in ICC Premier class, Ron Barcimo 2nd in spec 125 and Ira Fierberg 3rd in FormulaV2.

Little 5-year old Logan Prescott piloting his 2005 MS Kart package prepared
by Team_Dodson, put on an excellent driving performance Saturday at the
Apex Racing Series event. He not only won the largest class of the day, he
took command of the lead at the green flag and never looked back. In the
final, he lapped half the field along with building a 3/4 of a lap
advantage over the 2nd place finisher by the checkered flag.

Considering he only began his racing endeavors in January of this year, he
has put together a string of top 3 podiums already, in addition to winning
several main events and at different tracks like the Grange Circuit, Adams
Kart Track and Perris Karting. Last but not least, he is currently leading
the Kid Kart Class Championship points battle in the Apex Racing Series, as
well as, the US Kart Championship travel series.

Everyone at Prescott Motorsports and Team_Dodson are excited about this
young man's future prospects, so stay tuned...!!!

After the fourth round of the US Kart Championship Series,
MS-Kart/Team_Dodson driver's hold the following standings in the 2005
points championship:

Kid Kart-B
1st-Logan Prescott

Senior Superbox
1st-Dean Richards
2nd-Kate Carnahan

Just a short update as to what we've been doing.

-Attached are some photos from last Sunday's LAKC event at the California
Speedway. David and I actually had a moment and went out Saturday to do
some testing in HPV4, 3-sessions in the dry, then 5-in the rain and he
raced on Sunday. There were 9 or 11 entries. Struggled a little in the
heats, but still finished 1st/2nd. However, by the main we were able to get
it sorted and he won the 14-lap event by over the length of the long
straight. A fielded customer of ours, who happens to be 66 years old, also
on an MS-RA23/Dodson-HPV, finished up 4th.

-Dean Richards, #11 (on an MS-RA20), has moved to senior class and has won
both Superbox races at LAKC and February's race was in a driving rain.
Also, he won the first US Kart Championship event at Perris and finished
2nd at the Grange race on March 13th.

----------------------------------------------

...From here, we don't have photos, however...
-Jonathon Evans has come under our wing and under our tent. In spite of a
few minor growth glitches, he finished 2nd at the same US Kart event at
Perris in HPV-2 with a new engine package we put together for him. Then at
Grange he ran off in the sunset and hid from the field in the main, out of
7 juniors. Brody Roa, also on a Dodson prepped MS-RA20 finished a solid
2nd, so it was a clean 1-2 for MS Karts.
-Logan Prescott in this US Kart series has had two 3rd place finishes in a
row, in Kid Kart-B (new style C51 engines) driving his Dodson prepared MS
Kart.
-His older brother, Andre (known for making the 2005 MS Kart Catalog
cover), qualified 3rd out of 8 in HPV1/Cadet, also on new Dodson/HPV, and
drove to a convincing 2nd in the heat only to have a run-in at the start of
the main. However, solo even, he came from a light year behind to catch the
2nd-5th group on the white flag lap and still pulled off a very respectable
(and noticeable) 4th place finish out of it.

That of course is the simplified version.

Thanks again,
