2-25-10 Effort Equals Results for MMI Drivers and Tony Kart in 2010

David Vasques let everyone know that he is one of the best, sweeping the JR 2 classes at the region 7 opener at Buttonwillow Raceway; a thrown chain in the KPV 2 Final on Saturday was the only thing that kept him from sweeping all 4 main events for the weekend. David sat out round 2 in Phoenix and he has been helping out the team in region 11 driver coaching with some of our region 11 drivers Blake Murdock and Logan Dorsey. MMI is very fortunate to have David, Sergio and David Chavez (Grandpa) on the team for sure, when they are not racing in Region 7 they are up here helping our other drivers to excel to their goals. David is preparing for the next round at Buffalo Bills and hopes to carry on where he left off in Buttonwillow.

Next for MMI was the IKF Region 11 opener at Davis, California where two of our Tony Kart pilots let people know that they came to race as Curtis Paul put his new Tony cadets off pole in both JR1 and KPV1, Contact with another kart in turn left Curtis watching from sidelines in pre-final and bad coil in the main left Curtis with his work cut out for him in JR1 points chase. While in KPV1 Curtis led the opening laps of pre-final but faded to 4th and after a rough start in the main couldn't make up any ground and ended up 6th in the 15 kart field. Blake Murdock was the second driver that stepped up big time in his first year of competition in the full regional series grabbing the pole in a very competitive KPV2 class, with the Vasquez/Chaves trio in Blakes pit and a Position One hot rod on his Tony, Blake had the tools to get it done. In the pre-final a miscue left Blake in the wrong spot on the start left Blake frustrated with a 6th place finish, and with a clear head and determination Blake went from 6th to 3rd posting fast lap of the race and closing on the leaders.

Last but not least for MMI and Tony Kart was the Pro Kart North race at Infineon Raceway were Austin Keller contested in the Jr. Tag division. Austin qualified his Tony Kart P2 in a field of good Karts. That left Austin with a good spot on the grid for heat one, but contact from another Kart on an attempted start left Austin sidelined. The second heat saw Austin struggle with traffic starting in the rear and ending up with a 6th place starting position for the main where Austin worked his way to third, unfortunately the front two karts had gotten away from Austin but when they made contact Austin slid into 2nd and his best finish at that level of racing.

MMI is glad and very proud to be associated with not just these kids but all of the Kids and customers I call my friends, THANK YOU very much for you support,


THANKS AGAIN - Scott Conway Team MMI
