K1 Speed Austin Jr. League GP 4 Results
What a great race we had in the Teen GP. Tucker and Jason battled lap for lap with Jason taking the lead and winning the race. Brody moved up from the JR ranks to join the Teens and had a solid showing for his forst race. Jason has a slight point advantage over Tucker but it is anybodies championship to win. See you next month for the final!!

K1 Speed Austin Challenge GP 5 2K13 – Season 1
Say it aint so! Ignacio Martinez did not win GP #5….he did not even make it into the Main Event! Sean Gossett has improved every event this season and he claimed his first GP win and pair of tickets to the V8 Supercars at COTA in two weeks!! Sean bested a stacked field that included most all of the best racers at the Austin location since the doors have opened exactly 1 year ago. The race for the next 2 podium spots was where all the excitement was! Matt Hammock, Ted Smith and Reese Williams battled the entire race. Matt Hammock barley held off charging Ted Smith to take the second spot on the podium. Ted Smith could not find a way to pass, even though he set the track record with a blazing 26.616, and had to settle for 3rd. Ted extended his season points lead and looks to be in great position to win GP Season 2! Sean, Ignacio and Timmy palmer will all have something to say next month at the GP finale. See you all there!
We are used to Ignacio Martinez winning everything he enters. It is old news saying that he finished first overall and took home top honors. We have never seen him anywhere but 1st place overall in any event he has entered!! That all changed in GP #5! Ignacio failed to make the Main Event and took his frustrations out on the B-Main field. Ignacio finished 1st, followed by Chris Smith and Edward Galvis.

K1 Speed Austin Challenge GP 4 2K13 – Season 1
Not to take anything away from Reese Williams first victory of the season but the biggest story of the night was the absence of last season’s GP champion and this seasons undefeated points leader, Ignacio Martinez. He was nowhere to be found and the field of racer’s spirits were all flying high at the thought of a shot at winning this month’s GP. The racing was extreamly fast all evening. The track record was broken in the quals twice and then rebroken in the main event by Reese Williams. Reese blew away the field in what was the single fastest 16 lap race average for a GP to date!! The new track record is now 26.676…….and this was all done in reverse direction on the track!! Ted Smith finished second and took over the season’s points lead. Sean Gossett had a very strong showing and made the podium for the first time this season taking home 3rd place honors. Ignacio is still undefeated but this may put some wind in the sails of many. We will see you all next month!
Edward Galvis raced hard and held of Chris McNelis and Darrin Wicken to win the B-Main.

The spring monsoon outside could not put out the fire that was on the track inside the center in the Teen Main Event. Tucker Klein and Jason Gernert were lighting up the scoreboards with blazing fast lap times. Tucker once again held off Jason to take home first place honors and take home the top hardware for the second event in a row.

Here we are in the second round of the Junior league series and what a series it is shaping up to be. A great turnout for this round with some new faces on the track. The Wolff sisters were challenged again by a new comer in Brody Magerkurth and almost had him for the win but Alex got stuck behind a lapped car and ended up at the back of the pack. Great racing by all of our Jr’s and congratulations to Brody Magerkurth on his win.

K1 Speed Austin Challenge GP 3 2K13 – Season 1
It sounds like a broken record…yes we know! Ignacio Martinez wins yet again. This time he barely missed setting the track record in the 1st qualifier by .002 of a second. Let us remind you that this was in REVERSE direction on the track!
He never looked back in the Main Event and blew away newcomer, Steven Palmisano, and the Wiley veteran, Ted Smith, who finished 2nd and 3rd respectively. Who is going to be the one that steps up and beats him? Again, after the race there were some more whispers and rumbles of a bounty for the first person to beat the champ! Is it going to be you?

K1 Speed Austin Challenge GP 2 2K13 – Season 1
There was a HUGE sense of excitement in the air before the GP started. Last years undefeated GP overall champion and this seasons points leader, Ignacio Martinez, was not in the building! Everyone thought this was THEIR shot at victory. Ignacio’s 6 consecutive win streak looked like it was going to come to an end. The first round of qualifiers went off with everyone posting solid times and looking like they had a legit shot. Then, as quickly as the excitement built, it was gone with the swing of the pit door and the arrival of Ignacio! He then lit up the second qualifier to earn pole position and then once again, he blew away the field in the main event! Wiley veterans, Ted Smith and Timmy Palmer, rounded out the top 3 podium spots. There is are talks of a secret bounty out on Ignacio and the #1 spot on the podium next month. Can he continue his winning ways with everyone gunning for him event after event? Come race the next GP in REVERSE direction and see where you stack up against Austin’s best.
This month’s GP was full of new-comers. Lots of good racing took place in the B-Main from top to bottom but nobody could touch last seasons most improved racer, Dale Daugherty. He blew past the pole getter early on in the race and did not look back and took home the #1 hardware. Dale was followed by Bryce Widdison and Kyle Moss who took 2nd and 3rd honors respectively.
