K1 Speed Carlsbad Challenge GP 6 2K13 – Season 1

andrew — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 15:00:23 +0000

We had a very exciting 6th and final race for Carlsbad’s 1st Challenge GP season. There were moves that were made in this race that stunted some driver’s final points totals and helped others climb ahead of the competition. Brandon Walsh qualified with the fastest time and was able to start and finish in the top spot because of this. The battle for 2nd and 3rd lasted the entire race between Charles, Benjamin and Paige following closely behind. In the first half of the heat KC was spun out sending him from 4th all the way back to 7th. He impressively was able to climb back up a couple spots and secure a 5th place finish. Although he came in 5th for this race, the points he accumulated gave him just the nudge he needed to win overall for season 1′s Challenge GP.

Last night’s event included all of our usual Jr. drivers and a couple of new faces. Landon Southwell was able to secure pole position with his qualifying laptime of 31.01. Although the rolling start started as one of the best we have seen, it was soon stunted by a spin out in the 2nd turn of lap 1. Unfortunately Brayden Stansel was affected most by this when his spin out sent him from 2nd place all the way to the back of the pack. During this confusion and while most drivers were attempting to stay out of the mix, Carlee Weber was able to take advantage of the situation by ducking and dodging her way from 8th place all the way up to the number 2 spot which she held for the remainder of the race. Landon was able to keep ahead of the rest of the pack for the entire race where he kept and help 1st place for this final event. The rest of the drivers moved up or sown about 1 place from where they started. After tonight’s race it will be an exciting finish to the season to see where everyone stands in points for our last event of this season.

andrew — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 16:00:24 +0000

We had a record turnout for the Jr. League so for this season with 14 drivers which created 2 groups. The Southwell brothers started in a the #1 and #2 spots for the beginning of the race but it did not last. An early spin out caused Davis to fall to the back of the pack for the remainder of the race while his brother, Landon was able to secure his spot in 2nd place by only dropping back 1 position from where he started. Brayden Stansel made a good showing by climbing 5 spots and eventually making his way to 1st place.

The B-Main race remained steady with not many position changes besides the top 3 drivers. Nolan Agresti, who had claimed pole position for the start of the race based on his qualifying lap time was passed by our 2nd and 3rd place drivers early on in the race which left him finishing in 3rd. Mathias Lebrun and Gavin Solarez both claimed #1 spot putting them in 1st and 2nd place. The rest of the racers started and finished in exactly the same order.

andrew — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 16:00:20 +0000

Event 3 of the 2K13 season is in the books. This race was nothing short of thrilling. The start was intense with more bumper to bumper action than a SoCal traffic jam. Shortly after the race began it was clear this would be a battle between the top two qualifiers Kc Cook and Kyle Wicka. They pulled away from the pack and battled it out K1 style. Exceptional clean racing was demonstrated by both and in the end Kc Cook ended up out front to take the win. Kyle Wicka took second and K1 veteran Jon Simms pushed forward in the pack to round out the podium in third place.

A very exciting start to the A-Main this month. Bumper to bumper action for several laps. Shortly after, KC Cook managed to pull away to take this win with a commanding lead.

The B-Main race this month was nothing short of exciting. Within only a few laps, 1st and 2nd place exchanged positions twice, creating a frenzy among the crowd on the sidelines. Eventually, Paige Kaufman managed to battle her way back to 1st place and held on to it. She soon pulled away and the race became a battle of who could run the quickest laps.
