In its continuing efforts to promote premier indoor karting in North America, IndoorKartingNews.com is pleased to announce the introduction of the IKN Driver Rankings. The newly-created program will take results from IKN’s Partner Tracks from across North America, as well as premier championships and special one-off events, and drop them into our own proven ranking equation to produce a listing that, for the first time, will combine all of the top indoor kart drivers into one offering. The IKN Driver Rankings package has been carefully designed to take into consideration the many different variables in an effort to properly weigh the results, with an emphasis placed on the field strength and field size.

Tommy Turner, Director of team GoFast.Pro picks up the story:

This evening's NASA Twilight Enduro was fun for the team as well. We were very happy to have Evan York join us for the race. Evan did an incredible job getting the team out in front from the start and then held and impressive lead for his 40 minute shift. We had a bit of a falter with a bobble getting Ian out quickly on the driver exchange lost a little time but going down a bit after some confusion on a mandatory stop and go. Ian did a great job of recovering and after some confusion (to my dehydrated mind anyway) we realized we were still ahead of the pack. Dylan took the final shift and drove very smoothly through a lot of chaos as the tires on all the karts started wearing. We ended with a two lap lead over the rest of the field sweeping the enduros for the weekend.

Evan created a substantial lead...the rest of the field is way behind!

Father and son duo, Kevin and Evan York have again been recruited by Jade Gurss and his fingerprint inc. team; this time for the 24 Hours of Charlotte @ Victory Lane Karting endurance race.

Victory Lane Karting (VLK) - an indoor race facility located in Charlotte, NC - will be hosting their second annual twenty-four hour endurance race on the Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day weekend.

The event will begin on Saturday, May 23rd at nine am and conclude twenty-four fun - and fast-paced - hours later at nine am on Sunday, May 24th!

One of the premier endurance karting events in North America, Victory Lane Indoor Karting will show the competitors a few new twists and turns, thanks to a 15,000 sq. ft. track expansion and new generation Sodikart RX-7 racing karts.

Last year’s inaugural event was marked by a pass to win with less than 45 minutes remaining, and finished with just 11 seconds separating the winning team from second place.

Joining Grand Am competitor Kevin and front-running kart racer Evan, will be a top group of drivers from around North America.

Already entered are reigning U.S. Indoor Karting Champion Mike Smith and returning 24 Hour of Charlotte race winner Dan Burke. Both of those drivers finished among the top-10 in the 2008 World Indoor Karting Championships.

Home track advantage will be minimized during the 24 Hours of Charlotte, as all the karts are identical and assigned randomly. Additionally, kart equality will be maximized as the teams will switch karts at each fuel stop.

With two fourths and a one dominating win, Evan completed three heats successfully enough to enter today's Final of the 2009 North Carolina Indoor Karting Championship.

While Evan did not win the Overall Championship, a strong top-10 finish in the overall standings is very noteworthy.

Congratulations go out to Jordan Pembleton, the overall winner of the NCIKC! He'll be going to the Indoor Karting World Championships in Brazil this coming August - good luck Jordan!

With a win and three heat podiums, Evan posts fastest time of day and passes to win on last lap of Final

(Charlotte, NC) 4 May 2009—Following a disappointing Round 6 of the North Carolina Indoor Karting Championship (NCIKC), Evan York was focused on his personal performance and eager for Round 7 at Rush Hour Karting in Garner, NC.

With determined patience, Evan drove brilliantly in his three preliminary heats that resulted in three podium finishes – one of which was a win.

Starting the Final from the outside front row position, Evan was certain to have a challenging race ahead of him.
With veteran racer Scott Bulger directly behind him, Evan gave chase to Adrian Smith who had started from pole position.

“I knew I couldn’t rest for a moment as I shadowed Adrian trying to find a weak spot in his driving,” said Evan. “Scott is such an experienced driver; I knew he’d be doing the same to me!”

Starting the penultimate lap it seemed Evan was going to finish in the second position. However, it turned out that he had different plans.

“I had found a couple spots I felt that I was faster than Adrian in,” said Evan, who hadn’t won a Final round yet. “I saw the opening that Adrian left and I went for it. Holding on for the win was a terrific feeling I can tell you!”
Entering the event, Evan was twelfth of thirty-nine drivers in the overall NCIKC championship standings. His performances netted him a significant upward movement in those standings and heads into the final round of the Championship now in seventh.

This event was one of the more equal and competitive events of the NCIKC. Rush Hour Karting worked hard to provide very well prepared and evenly matched Sodikart RX7s for the race meeting. As a matter of fact, the average time spread in the Final was only four-tenths of a second.

The North Carolina Indoor Karting Championship returns to Victory Lane Karting in Charlotte, NC on Sunday May 10 for its final and deciding round.
