Parker, CO.
The new Billet Performance Karting started the 2012 race season strong competing in the Gatorz Challenge of the Americas winter series. BPK brought over 7 entries per event with drivers competing in DD2 Masters, Rotax Masters, Rotax senior, Rotax Junior and Micro-Max. Strong performances were achieved by Mitch Carey (sr.), Tyler Edwards (sr.), and Corbin Emery (micro) aboard their Arrow chassis powered by Billet Performance. Rotax junior racer Lyndsay Brewer raced her way into the top ten at the Phoenix round, piloting her Arrow X1E with Billet power.
The series was highlighted by John Crow (DD2 Masters) earning four dominating wins and two second place finishes on his 2012 Arrow X1E DD2. Crowâs domination awarded him the series Championship and a free ride at the upcoming US Grand Nationals in South Bend, Indiana this summer. Crow Also finished on the podium two out of two times in Rotax Masters. Jim Carey (DD2 Masters) also saw the podium at every race, earning second place in the championship on his Arrow DD2.
Scott Falcone (masters), Will Owen (sr.), and Hannah Greenemeier (micro) spent their winter also competing in the Florida Winter Tour on their Arrowâs. Falcone saw the podium in both the Gatorz and Florida series.
Falcone, Owen, and Brian Robson took their efforts to Phoenix in April for the first rounds of the SKUSA Pro-Moto Tour. Joining the trio was National #2 TaG senior driver Dakota Dickerson. The strength of the four Arrow racers was challenged by the 105 degree heat and the tough fields in TaG (senior and Masters) classes. Falcone and Dickerson enjoyed top 10 finishes, while Robson dropped out of the event in 4th place with a mechanical.
Round one of Racing the Rockies was a success for the Parker based shop. Falcone took victories in DD2 Masters, and Rotax Masters on his Arrow Karts. Rounding out the masters podium was Jim Haubenschild. 2011 series champion Dave Zarlengo found the 2nd step on the podium in DD2 Masters on his new X1E DD2. Tyler Edwards and Connor Thomas placed 2nd and 3rd respectfully in Rotax Senior, and Hurricane Hannah Greenemeier was the one to beat in Micro-Max.
All of the podium finishers at the Racing the Rockies series were awarded Billet Bucks for their strong performances. The class winners took home $100.00, second place finishers received $50.00, and third place took $25.00. To be eligible for the Billet Bucks contingency programs, the racers were piloting their Billet powered Arrow Racing Karts.
