The team is Scott and Kieran, and maybe Sinea in 2012. Scott and Kieran both started to drive karts in 2009 in SCCA Solo events, with Kieran moving up to the FJB class last year. Killeen drove in 2010 and 2011, but officially retired toward the end of the season. Sinea will probably get in the kid kart in 2012 after she gets tall enough to reach the pedals.
For 2011, we added a big toy hauler that we can use for camping, etc, at big events. 28' of good lovin'!
I have been autoxing for about 7 years with the South Jersey, Philadelphia, and North Jersey SCCA regions. So far I've owned and autoxed the following cars:
2010 saw Kieran move up to FJB and a cadet kart with a Comer K80 and, later, a Yamaha KT100. That meant higher speeds and more technical driving than he could do with the kid kart. in 2011 he stepped up to a full-size chassis with the KT100 while racing with Danny Kao's "King Yang's Magic Trailer" race team. We only did local and local National events this season since we planned on a trip to Disney during the Nebraska Championships week. In 2012 we will be running the National schedule again, hitting Nebraska just before school starts again. Kieran also raced in the HyperMoto kid series at F1 NJMP for the last two seasons. That series uses a Road Rat full-sized chassis and a Chinese 6.5 clone motor. This year he got a fully modified "Advanced" motor for the series along with 55 lbs of lead to weigh him down some. He ran both karts in the series and we gathered data for SCCA to use on disallowing the modified motors in Solo. And we also determined that the speeds of the two karts were so close as to be identical and we have decided to sell his clone kart and get down to just one for him. We both plan to continue sprint racing at F1 next season. The family is also interested in watching lots of racing, especially Formula One and any/all sports car racing (ALMS, Rolex Grand-Am, Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge, Australian V8 supercars, SCCA Speed World Challenge, etc). Scott Pruett and Randy Pobst are my racing heroes. The kids tend to like whomever is leading the race at the moment... Here is our autox and other racing-related events calendar: |
