Velocity Karting

CHAMPIONS HAVE BEEN CROWNED

Saturday night F100karters crowned their 2017 season Champions and Velocity Karting took an entire podium.  2016 was a great F100 season for the entire Velocity Team, but no class did better for us than the FC1 Comer class.  Hayden Huelsman went undefeated in the class and took home his first career Championship.  

 

He wasn't the only success story for the team though.  Bela Richard had a great season as well and took home the 2nd step of the podium.  Although he didn't earn a win during the 2016 season, he had multiple 2nd place finishes.  None better than the Round 2 race at Grange when he paced Huelsman lap for lap, leading some of them only to make a slight mistake with 2 laps to go and giving Huelsman the edge.

 

Standing on the 3rd step was Akhil Bhakta.  Bhakta didn't enter every race during the season or else he would have been a contender for more than the 3rd step.  In round 6 at Adams, Bhakta led the entire Main event until the 2nd to last lap.  A late pass was made and he had to settle for 2nd place.  Although that was his closest victory, he was a contender every time he hit the track.

 

Congrats to the Velocity Karting Cadet corp of drivers.  It will be nearly impossible to top 2016, but we expect that Velocity will again compete for victory every time they hit the track.  With the addition to Brett Revetta to the team in 2017, the fight for the podium will be that much tighter.
