Brian worked with the karting community throughout Norcal. Working at Emmick Enterprises assembling karts, grid official at Davis's Blue Max Kart Club, and raced at Prairie City. Brian Terrill also was a committee member for Prairie City.

Karting was not the only sport Brian was involved in. He also worked as a grid official at Sacramento Raceway's motocross track, and was an avid water Skier.

Whether one knew Brian as a friend, or just saw him at the track and didn't know him by name, most all knew Brian. Everyday Brian touched another in a certain way. He could have been the one helping lift your kart, helping you line up on the grid, or just helping with advice. His happiness and enjoyment of the sport grew on everybody. You may have known him as Robin, his best friend Ray Zarick was Batman. Or you have known him from the last club race at Prairie City. He was the gentlemen jumping up and down yelling, "I beat the old man!" He had beaten his best buddy Ray Zarick in the TAG Masters class.

Brian was just a great guy. He was happy, and with that happiness he brought happiness upon others. Throughout the Karting community Brian Terrill will be missed.

Next IKF regional race is at the Stockton Motorplex in Stockton CA August 4-5  for round 5 of the Jim Russell IKF region11 Championship series presented by Bridgestone. 

FIRST PLACE AT PRAIRIE CITY CLUB RACE #3 !!!!!!!!!!!

Austin Elliott #94 takes the checkered flag in a great, competitive race.  Secures the track record in Comer Jr. 1-2 cycle for fastest overall lap time on the Modified Perimeter track configuration (unofficial record at this time).

11 kart field, 12 lap Main, our set-up was dialed in, our engine was screamin', and our driver was focused to take the lead.

Starting the day qualifying in 2nd position meant going into turn 1 on the outside lane.   This lane is difficult because of getting squeezed out of a good position for turn 2, which is exactly what happened to our driver. 

Emerging from turn 1 in 4th position, it only took a couple laps and Austin passes the driver in the 3rd place position and now sets his sights on making the pass on the 2nd place kart.  After 3 attempts at passing this 2nd place driver have failed, the 4th attempt proved victorious.....so now it's all about catching the lead driver, Jonny Norris, which could be a challenge. But in about 1 lap, Austin catches up to the leader and makes the pass on him on the straight-away in the middle of lap traffic. Our driver is now in the front row !!

3 to 4 laps of Austin being chased by Jonny, the two leaders heading for the top of the hill at the back of the track on the final lap. Quickly, Jonny passes Austin and our excitement level drops as we know Jonny won't give it back easily and there isn't much track left before the finish line......, but just as fast as he lost the lead position, he got it back on the next turn and our emotions once again raised sky high as we watched our driver skillfully take the last 4 corners of the track and onto the straight-away with Jonny chasing him to the finish line and Austin takes it!  We Win this one!!  Our First P.C. First Place win and how sweet it is.  You can see the pure joy on Austin’s face as he accepts this well-deserved First place trophy. 

California Kartworld, Bordogna Racing Kart Engines, and Race Karts, Inc. came through for our team again!!

We were Fast with Daniel Bordogna’s engine tuning!  Our track support and race-day driver critiquing from Bill McCallister, and driver-training from Lisa Caceras, top-notch!  Thank you ALL.  Powerful Driving Austin!!!!!!!!!!!!  Our Team is Proud of You.

First to hit the track was Shifter 80 masters. Mike Lowater got the pole and the PreFinal win. In the Final, Lowater was given a run. The lead was a battle of the top three. Bill Wages was in the mix, but as the race grew old, some of the setups fell off but not Steve Peterson's. Peterson threw down fast laps to the win. Mike Lowater was second, Wages third, and Bob Lesnett was fourth.

ICC was up next. The first round of ICC was an epic battle. This looked to be the same. Tommy Thompson got pole, Steve Cameron got a killer start in the PreFinal and walked with the win. In the Main Cameron got the same killer start, but Derek Tillet gave chase early to Cameron. Tillet gave chase early and looked a few times, but Cameron only got faster and the battle became for second. Cameron got the win, Tillet held off Thompson for second while Thompson has to settle for third, and Grand National West driver Jose Ramirez finished fourth.

Next up was Stock Honda Heavy. The first round saw Matt Alcorn driving from the back to win. This race was different. Alcorn didn't have to come from the back. Mark Drennan had a chassis switch and was now on a CRG which he put on pole. Alcorn got the PreFinal win, and dominated the main. The race was with Drennan and Cambrians Donald Durbin for second in the early going, But Durbin started from the back in the PreFinal, and sixth in the Final on used tires and his kart would show as he would drop off in times toward the end. Drennan finished second, Durbin got a satisfying third in his first Stock Moto race, and Pete Mietz fourth.

Tift was second, Austin Elliott third, Brody Zink came home fourth.

In Rotax Masters Brit Leary got pole, David Carlisle got the win in the PreFinal. In the Final Brit Leary got behind early but later would run down Carlisle.

Next race for the Jim Russell Rotax Championship series is June 30.

Yanez cruised as the drivers behind him battled for second. Jason Pettit won the battle and finished second, Thomas Hernandez and Wilson Skjerven.

Rotax Max Jr was up next, Mikee Mejia got pole. Jordan Jadallah won the heat race. The start of the main Jordan got the run through turn one and never looked back. Jadallah was the winner, Mejia was second, Cameron Pringle and Jake Mottax were the top four.

Doug Braddock Jr was the stud of the field in Jr 1-2 Cycle. Braddock got the pole, heat race and main win, however the battle for second was epic. Watching the club racers at Kinsmen work traffic like veterans was phenomenal. Alex Jacobsen came through the traffic with ease and cruised the last couple laps to an easy second place victory. Danny Rubino was third, followed by Alexander Perales.

Jr Sportsman was another good race. Michael Holloway got pole but Sean Merrick did the dirty on the high side of turn one to win the heat. In the main Holloway did the same outside move on the start. Merrick took away the lead only to blow a chain and hand the lead over to Michael Holloway who would cruise to victory. Bryce Hylbert was second followed by Lance Ketterman and Mitch Young.

Roatx Sr looked to be a good race. Wes Phillips got pole and led most the heat until Gregory Liefooghe took the lead in the closing laps to sit pole. Wes Phillips pulled into the pits on the formation lap. Joe Karrat and Michael Ostrowski got together on the start ending both of their days, and that left the battle to Marin Kartings Clayton Snow, and Liefooghe. Liefooghe led early but as setups came in, Snow made his move on Liefooghe in the back sweeper to take the lead for good. Snow was your winner, Liefooghe second, Troy Casteneda made a great run to finish third from his last qualifying position to finish third, and Glen Poy-Wing fourth.

Superbox Medium had a good kart count. Ryan Wakabayashi was dominant in this one. It was interesting to see the drivers get tired in this one as David Bixler came on strong in this one the lat five laps to finish second. Jon Gardner got a well earned third and Dave Heistand was fourth.

Merrick Miller was dominant in 80 Shifter senior, and Chris Bachman controlled the 80 Shifter Masters. Corse Karts David Harwin had to earn his win in the Rotax Masters while Richard Cockshott had to do the same in Masters light.

National Cup Masters provided a great race. Mike Ketterman looked to be on top most of the day but in the Final he had to work for it. Ketterman obviously wanted the victory more as he earned it. Chris Vigil was second and Ben Schreinerr and Steve Nimmo were the top four.

The race of the day was the Rotax RM1 DD2 class. DD2 is the newest Rotax growing in the Norcal area. Gregory Liefooghe got pole and showed to be dominant in the heat. When the main came, Marin Kartings Kris Shaw figured it out and was able to keep with Liefooghe. As laps wound down lapped traffic came into the mix. last lap it got heavy and Liefooghe made a wrong move and misjudged a lapped kart and allowed Shaw to slip inside of them. Both Shaw and Liefooghe rubbed and grinded, but in a clean racing to the win kind a way. Kris Shaw got the victory and Liefooghe got second. January Grove drove a hard race to finish third, and Glen Poy-Wing came home fourth.

Next Dixon Race is the crossover at Davis' Blue Max Kart Club. The next Rotax race is this weekend at Infineon Kart track.

Superkarts! USA Announces The Addition Of
2 Champ Car Rotax Kart Challenge Classes
To SuperNationals XI Event Line Up
Rotax Senior and Rotax Masters Classes to compete for 2008
World and Grand Nationals Prizes!
For Immediate Release
Temecula, CA – May 7, 2007 – Superkarts! USA has announced the addition of
the Champ Car Rotax Kart Challenge to the SuperNationals XI race program to
be held at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, NV on November 14-18, 2007. Two
Rotax classes are set to compete for the most coveted of all prizes in the Rotax
worldwide program. Rotax Senior and Masters classes will race for a 2008 prize
package that will include an all expense paid trip to the 2008 Rotax Grand
(World) Finals for the Senior class winner, and a paid entry to the 2008 Rotax
Grand Nationals for the Masters class winner. Rotax drivers from North, Central
and South America are invited, as well as drivers from around the globe to
compete for the Senior class Grand (World) Finals qualifier.
Superkarts! USA CEO Tom Kutscher is excited about bringing the Rotax
program into the SuperNationals XI event schedule, “I have been eager to
expand our reach into other areas of kart racing, and the Rotax program is about
as exciting as it gets. The fact that the prize package is so strong is one thing,
but the real excitement will come when SuperNationals XI entries open on July
1st.” In 2007, the second year for a Kutscher-controlled SKUSA, participants will
see many event details arrive earlier than in prior years. Kutscher adds, “Both
Joe Ramos, who runs the Rotax Challenge in the United States, and I expect to
see some big international names come over and run- especially with this early
lead time. I want to thank Joe for providing SKUSA with this opportunity to
expand our reach globally.”
Last year’s SuperNationals X was an overwhelming success, and attracted the
top drivers, teams and tuners in the sport as well as a stellar array of sponsors.
This year, there are already some big names being thrown about in both the
driver and sponsor areas - with announcements waiting in the SKUSA wings.
A steady stream of information will be released to the karting media all season
long about the event and those attending. The media attention and atmosphere
surrounding the race last year was unprecedented, and the race day coverage
was unmatched in the event’s history. This year will be no different, and with
Rotax on board, the event is simply unstoppable. SSC Racing Sales Manager
and Rotax Program Director Joe Ramos Jr. agrees, “The SuperNationals has
been the number one karting event in the states for the last 10 years and, by
positioning the Champ Car Rotax Kart Challenge alongside SuperNationals XI,
the event’s stature can only increase.” Look for enhanced SSC Racing West
and East presence in all areas of SuperNationals XI this year as the company
continues to lead the karting community into the future.

The IKF Region 11 Series made their way through the beautiful town of Redding. Shasta Kart club known for it usually cool weather and a view of Mount Shasta greeted the IKF series with warm weather. Okay maybe it was a bit hot weather. The racing was fierce throughout the classes as rubber went down under the hot sun. the racing line came in, and the game of gearing for the straight or the infield began.
