class champion Race Liberante (CRG) third. Maroney was back in sixth
and Coplen way back in tenth.
Drama began before the pre-main got underway as Coplen bounced
off a curb and threw a chain during the warm-up lap. He was able to get
it back on and drive to the pits for repairs, making it out as the field took
the green flag. Carbone had the whole race to himself, but action ensued
behind him as Lou Pagano clouted the turn three barriers, and got going
again, a lap down but wedged in the line of karts contesting the second
through seventh positions.
The results were predictable, and as the line of karts behind him got
impatient it came to a head on the eighth lap, dumping Jacob Pearlman
(Birel) into the dirt in turn nine. Once that was sorted through, Donny St.
Ours (PTK) outlasted Liberante for second, with Maroney taking fourth
after taking heavy pressure from Dylan Stalker (Birel) the entire race.
The main got off to an exciting start when Corey Neveau (Tony Kart)
got the first turn all wrong and spun through the dirt, causing a knockon
effect that knocked rookie Jeremy Kane (CRG) off the track and into
retirement. Justin Coplen also found himself in the dirt in turn two, going
down a lap and putting his championship hopes in jeopardy.
At the front, a raging battle broke out between Carbone, St. Ours, and
Miinch. Each led the race but Miinch controlled the race for most of the
second half, until Carbone got by with five laps remaining. On the final
lap, Carbone clearly wanted to defend his lead and ran a defensive line into
turn two - a prime passing opportunity, and again in turn seven. Miinch
dove for the inside in seven but ran into Carbone. Hard contact between
the two sent Carbone off the track and into the dirt, losing any chance of
the race win. Miinch crossed the line first, but was penalized for the move
after the race, and placed behind Carbone in the final standings.
Once that was cleared up, St. Ours won his first MyChron4 Junior
Rotax race, ahead of Miles Maroney and Cameron Jocelyn.
Metal Manipulations Club Rotax / Precision Works
DD-2 / G-Phactory TAG Senior
Having already wrapped up the DD2 Mini Series championship,
Antoni Czerniewski (CRG) took DD2 and overall pole ahead of the first
TAG Senior driver Ryon Beachner (Tony Kart). Third overall was the
Club Rotax of Ari Baquet (CRG) who was ahead of John Stewart (Birel)
and Russ Jordan (Birel) - the two battling for the points championship.
Beachner got the jump on Czerniewski at the start, but it took a lap
for Czerniewski to get by and streak off into the distance. However, he
fell off the track on the 17th lap, allowing Beachner to win overall and
Austin Nichols (CRG) to win DD2. Baquet had the Club Rotax field
covered until he parked it in the dirt coming onto the front straightaway
with five laps left. He was in the dirt long enough to let Stewart through
for the win.
Clearly on a mission, Czerniewski battled through the field in the
main to pass Beachner for the overall lead after 25 laps of battle. John
Stewart had thrown his Club Rotax lead away at the start, and a battle
raged between Nichols, Kyle Neveau (Arrow), Jordan, Chris Kindberg
(Birel) and Baquet. The first casualty was Baquet, who went off track in
turn one. But the big off was Czerniewski, who hit the barriers in turn
three - hard - and brought out a red flag. Since the race was more than
halfway, the race was called, with Beachner winning G-Phactory TAG
Senior, Jordan winning Metal Manipulations Club Rotax, and Nichols
winning Precision Works DD-2.
The series will go on an extended hiatus as many of the series
competitors travel to Colorado to race in the Rotax Grand Nationals. The
final Gatorz Karting Cup race of the year will be September 22, at Moran
Raceway.
