Sorry for this delay, but never got to write this quick report. End of july I've been in Santa Maria for the Sprint Grand Nationals of IKF. It has been a new experience. The event was pretty good, considering the difficult economy time of USA (that we hope will recover soon)and entries as good as possible.
I drove ( a kart) at the track in february and actually liked the track, so seeing a vast numbers of young drivers racing there it was good fun.
Few months prior to the event I worked with RLV to supply one of the most promising young drivers with our products and so I had finally a chance to meet her in person and also meet with her team personnel. People that I found out I knew from years ago when we used to go out racing at the Stars of Karting events with Tim Maddux, Reed Stevens and others.
Raquel Martinez and her team engineer/mechanics are VERY NICE PEOPLE. And also very good at what they are doing ! Raquel was always very fast in her classes. Unfortunately I could not stay the whole event in Santa Maria, but what I saw was very good. I took some images and here they are. The kart look really good and so the team uniforms. Well done to the Martinez team, RLV and everybody associated to the project. I take some pride myself as we supplied the KG bodywork for them.
More news soon. Best - Manuel
