KERSHAW REPORT
The big blue rig was packed with karts and motors as SSC East Racing made its way to Kershaw, South Carolina for the second round of the World Karting Associations George Kuglers Manufacturers Cup Series.
Joining Dave Davies and Jeremiah Damon were team members Trent Hindman and Arie Ouimet. Both Hindman and Ouimet would compete in TAG1, TAG2 and Leopard only classes.
Off the trailer, both drivers were quick, this was the first time either of them and SSC East had ever been to the track and they learned it quickly.
In TAG1 and TAG2 we realized that the powerband of the Leopard engines did not suit the track at Carolina Motorsports Park very well. That did not stop SSC East, we just had to work and race harder. Arie and Trent did not disappoint team principle Dave Davies "The boys gave us great feed back and we were able to give them karts that were fast"
But as racing goes, we always want to be on the center podium, but because of contact with other drivers, SSC East earned 3 top tens in TAG1 and 2.
In Leopard only, everyone had the same engine and lady luck was on our side. SSC East drivers crossed the finish line 2nd and 5th. But Aries luck went bad. Both the winner of the race and Arie were disqualified. During the race and the previous days practice, the end of the exhaust flex wore down resulting in an exhaust that was too short, by 1/16 of an inch. Aries misfortune resulted in Trent moving up to take the 3rd step on the podium.
We will get them at the next race!
