Jack Barlow graduates to KF2 with Intrepid

SuperOne — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 09:46:33 +0000

Reigning Super One, Kartmasters and Rotax Cup champion Jack Barlow has joined the Intrepid works team to bolster their attack on this year’s WSK Euro Series, plus the CIK/FIA European Championship and World Cup.
The Englishman will form part of the acclaimed Intrepid Driver Program and has been promised outings in selected UK-based events – such as Kartmasters and the British KF2 Championship – during the forthcoming campaign.
Speaking about the move, he said: “I’m very excited to join Intrepid and have the opportunity to test myself in a completely new arena. This is an important step for me and it is a chance that I’m going to grasp with both hands.
“In just nine years (since the company was founded), Intrepid has enjoyed an incredible history of success. I am very honoured to have been chosen to become part of the Driver Program and I intend to pay back the faith put in me by Mirko Sguerzoni and Benjy Russell”
Explaining how the deal came about, Intrepid’s British importer Benjy Russell said: “During a meeting at the factory (at Salizzole, near Verona) the owner, Mirko, explained that he wanted to put a really strong driver line-up together for KF2 and asked if I had any recommendations. I’d been watching Jack’s progress at home and was impressed with his speed, consistency and racecraft. The fact that he’s a proven winner and possesses a great personality made putting his name forward very easy. He has a lot to learn but we all think he’ll successfully adapt to the class and the team.”
The opening round of the WSK Euro Series will be held at Sarno, near Naples on 12-15 April.

James Kellett Wins at WKA Daytona Margay Sprint Championships

We received this news via James’s mother – (thank you) and it came through as follows;

“Don’t know if you publish news of Super 1 drivers’ wins overseas, but if you do, James raced at Daytona Kartweek Manufacturer’s Cup at Daytona International Speedway in America between Christmas and New Year. He was racing for an American team in the Komet Jr Lite class. There were over 650 entries for the meeting and 42 on the grid for the final. Well, he won. Can you imagine – I was like a woman possessed! There were no crashes or mechanical flags – or bumping. It was pure textbook racing. A pleasure to watch. I’m still on cloud nine.”

eKarting News published the following report by Keith Shampine – WKA;

“Merlin driver James Kellett surprised some onlookers Friday when he scored the Komet Jr Lite victory over three heavy hitters in the WKA junior ranks. Kellett fended off the best Man Cup has to offer in Kyle Kalish, Ashley Rogero, Joel Jens and Jake Craig for the triumph.

Grant Quinlan took sixth in his first WKA weekend in the junior classes. Austin Osborne was seventh, Garrett Johnston eighth, Gavin Reichelt ninth and James Bennett tenth. Forty-two karts started the main.”

Congratulations to James from us all – good to see that the level of Superone Series drivers is truly world class. See you on the grid soon James (and Mrs Kellet of course…..)

St Racing Congratulations

SuperOne — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 17:00:41 +0000

ST racing would like to congratulate their drivers on a successful season.

Senior Max driver John Stewart won the British Open Championship at Rowrah back in May, followed up with consistant podium finishes throughout the Superone Series and ending the year with number 5. Senior driver Daniel Purvis, who made the switch from Juniors for the last two rounds, showed some promising results and pace. Next year he will try and follow it up with a full season in the class.

In Juniors Ross Hodgson had mixed fortunes but always showed strong pace. He finished the year with number 12 which was unlucky as he did deserve a top ten finish. Ross will also be racing in Senior Max next season.

We would also like to say a big thank you to Steve Ogden and his staff for all their hard work this year.

ST racing have chassis straightening facilities at every meeting.

If you would like to race with ST racing contact John on 07884 267159, or email us at stracing@hotmail.co.uk.

Awning space is available at Super 1, NKF and most club meetings at a very respectful rate with no hidden extras.
