10-28-11 Red Line Oil Karting Championship's Northern California Rotax Challenge travels to Dixon for Round 8

For the fifth year straight, the Red Line Oil Karting Championship's Northern California Rotax Challenge will travel to the historic Kinsmen Kart Club track in Dixon on Sunday, October 30th to run as part of the Kinsmen Kart Club race. Racing at Kinsmen, gives the RLOKC Rotax drivers the experience of Nor Cal's best short track and provides the racers with a challenge that they do not get at the RLOKC's home track, the simraceway Performance Karting Center at Infineon Raceway. The track configuration for this event will be the normal clockwise direction. The Kinsmen Kart Club is planning a fun Halloween activity during the lunch break.

There is more at stake at this race than just experiencing the challenge of the Dixon track. The RLOKC's Rotax Challenge has only two races left in the 2011 season and there are three classes which have point races that are still up for grabs. The Senior Rotax class got much tighter with the win by Sean McDonald last month. So Cal's Niki Luna holds a slim lead over 2010 champ Carlos Calderon and McDonald. The DD2 Masters class is still too close to call with Michael Ostrowski holding top spot over Andre Eriksen. Cameron Evans can put the Rotax Masters championship away with a Round 8 win over Jerry Pretti. Michael Michoff will be returning to the Sanzaru Games Mini Max battle after a visit to the Lancaster street race last month and he wants to add to his five wins this season. The Dixon track is Michoff's home track, but he will be challenged by Annie Breidinger who won her first Mini Max feature last year at track at Dixon. As they have been at each race this season, the Mini Max drivers will be vying for cash prizes from Mini Max class sponsor Sanzaru Games of $50 for first place, $30 for second and $20 for third place.

RLOKC will give away two race entries valued at $100 each at the Kinsmen race on Sunday. The entries are valid for RLOKC season finale race on Sunday, November 6th. All racers who race a non-Rotax class also offered by RLOKC are eligible to win.
