Five SwedeTech customers stood on the top step at the opening rounds of the ProKart Challenge Series.
The ProKart Challenge has logged the opening rounds for the South and North series, and SwedeTech customers put the blue and yellow logo at the front of the pack again. In the PKC South Series, three SwedeTech customers stood alone on the top step.
Jason Campbell was fast all weekend long, and put his SwedeTech powered S4 package out front to bring home the first round win. Representing Team Visalia was Todd Scholta. And this guy needs horsepower. I think he made three trips to the dinner line hosted by PKC, and then went to The Outback Steakhouse afterwards. Todd drove consistently all weekend long, and when the checkered waived, he was in the front of the S4 Magnum class. Good Job Todd. The third and youngest SwedeTech customer standing on the top step was Louie Pagano, running the SwedeTech Parilla Leopard engine in the Tag Jr class. Louie just checked out.
On other notes from the weekend events in Fontana, Arie Luyendyk Jr., finished third on a borrowed SwedeTech engine, after missing practice, qualifying, and a heat trying to troubleshoot the old engine. Thank you to Jason Campbell for helping out other racers. Andrew Wiener finished 5th in the competitive Tag Jr class.
Traveling up North for the first round of PKC North series at Infineon, the S1 class was filled. Fritz Leesman aboard his Aluminos package walked away with the win powered by a SwedeTech Stock Honda. Under the same Aluminos tent was Jeff Smith, running the S4 class on a SwedeTech package, also brought home the big trophy.
In the Tag Jr division, Austin Keller was powered by his Parilla Leopard to finish a strong second. SwedeTech would like to congratulate and thank all the customers that have help put our name up front. We do our best to include all of our customers in podium results, but if we happened to miss you, please let us know so we do not make the mistake twice.
On a side note, there was also some great racing action on the big road course at Infineon with the NCK Road Racers ripping off laps. If anyone has information on the results and finishes from the big track, please contact SwedeTech.
