April 23, 2017 the Velocity Team will be back at the track chasing Championships at Round 4 of the Pacific Association of Karters season. Velocity will field 7 drivers in 4 classes. Over the past 2 rounds we have won at least one class with Brett Revetta taking home the top of the podium last month. Weather is forecasted to be a hot and dry 92 degrees which will put our drivers endurance to the test.
Akhil Bhakta will be representing the team in the highly competitive Mini Swift class. Over the past two months Akhil has a victory and a 2nd place finish with PAK and is easily one of the top drivers in the class.
Hayden Huelsman will look to get his first victory of the year in the Comer A division. After a disappointing crash in the rain in Round two, and missing Round three, he is focused on finding the top of the podium. Although Huelsman hasn't won yet this season, he has had the fastest lap in every event this year so he just needs to put a full race together.
Brett Revetta and Bela Richard will both be back on the track in the Comer B division. As mentioned earlier Revetta is coming off a victory last month (1st of his career) and has been working hard to defend that win this month. Richard however will be driving a new kart and a new blueprinted motor. In testing last weekend this new package was super fast so Velocity hopes to go one, two in this class.
The Sr. drivers will see Stephen Huelsman, Brian Smith and Bryan Parji battle in the F100 class. Robert Melzer has won every race this season in this class, but Velocity has been working hard to find the speed to compete with him. After weeks of testing Huelsman believes he has found the answer to Melzer and predicts a victory on Sunday. Smith is always fast and has every opportunity to take home a win. Parji has been working hard and he has invested some money into finding more speed so he should be near the front all day.
It is the Velocity dream to sweep the victories in every class one day. Sunday could be that day. It takes hard work and a little luck to accomplish this goal. We have put in the work now we just need a little luck.
