<strong>Arrow</strong> X1 Wins At The Florida Winter<br />
Tour … Again!<br />
After an enormously successful start of the 2009 Florida Winter Tour, which saw the<br />
<strong>Arrow</strong> X1 set the fastest lap times throughout race 1 of the Rotax Max Senior field<br />
and emphatically win both the pre-final and the final of race 2, it was an <strong>Arrow</strong><br />
Racing Kart once again setting the pace, this time in the Formula Kart weekend of<br />
the tour.<br />
<strong>Arrow</strong> driver Edward Joshua Fortier was understandably impressed with his new X1<br />
after a highly encouraging start to his 2009 racing season. Fortier was extremely fast<br />
from the outset, winning the pre final and enjoying a pleasing podium finish in the<br />
race 1 final of the TaG Senior class. It was however the Puerto Rican’s showing in<br />
race 2 that forced all in attendance to take notice. Starting from P3 in the final<br />
aboard his new <strong>Arrow</strong> X1, Fortier methodically disposed of the rest of the TaG<br />
Senior field to record a resounding victory in what was arguably the day’s main<br />
event. The impressive results have established a solid foundation for Fortier and the<br />
X1 to enjoy a hugely successful 2009 campaign.<br />
It was another successful weekend in the USA for the emerging <strong>Arrow</strong> brand with a<br />
number of <strong>Arrow</strong> drivers enjoying solid performances throughout the weekend,<br />
highlighted by young Team <strong>Arrow</strong> USA member CJ Cronis. Cronis was a picture of<br />
consistency in the TaG Junior class, narrowly missing out on a podium finish in the<br />
final of race one after starting on P6, Cronis battled hard all race to eventually finish<br />
4 th respectively. In race 2 Cronis was out to go one better and earn a well deserved<br />
podium place, after finishing 5 th in the pre-final the young <strong>Arrow</strong> driver recorded an
unfortunate DNS in the final robbing him of his chance. It was a disappointing finish<br />
to an otherwise impressive weekend for Cronis, who will no doubt be featuring on a<br />
number of podiums throughout 2009. Special mention must go to French <strong>Arrow</strong><br />
driver, Luca Forgeois who showed why he is considered a serious driving talent, with<br />
a solid 12 th place finish in the final of race two.<br />
Tate Holleran continued the positive results for <strong>Arrow</strong> Racing <strong>Karts</strong> in the Junior<br />
ranks, as the up and coming <strong>Arrow</strong> driver was never outside of the final top ten in<br />
the Comer Cadet class of the tour. Holleran recovered from a DNS in the pre-final of<br />
race one to work his way back into the top 10 as the final chequered flag was waved<br />
and was equally determined in race two to ensure another top 10 placing in the final.<br />
The initial performances of the new <strong>Arrow</strong> X1 continue to be a huge talking point<br />
worldwide. The <strong>Arrow</strong> X1 has won almost every event the Kart has been entered in,<br />
including an Australian National Championship finishing 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd in the final of<br />
Rotax Light and now an impressive double sweep in the early rounds of the WKA<br />
Manufacturers Cup Series in Daytona Beach, USA and victories in the opening rounds<br />
of both the Rotax and Formula Kart weekends of the Florida Winter Tour, USA.<br />
<strong>Arrow</strong> Racing <strong>Karts</strong> would like to thank all those who contributed to the fantastic<br />
results during the early stages of the 2009 racing season and we look forward to<br />
continuing the success throughout the course of the year. For more information<br />
