We returned to our home track of Whiteland Raceway Park for race #5 of the IKC season on Saturday June 8, 2024. Our garage was full of excited, eager, and hopeful faces once again!
Our morning sessions included 206 Sportsmen, 206 SR Medium, 206 JR, and KA Senior. Midafternoon classes were part of our Kid Kart program, then our afternoon session consisted of Mini, Micro, 206 Heavy, KA JR, 206 SR Light, and the Kid Kart Final.
Our Kid Kart drivers once again took the track by STORM! Diesel Maxwell and Kyler Hendrickson was fast out of the box and qualified 1 and 2. Stella Hendrickson had her BEST qualifying position yet with P6. Diesel and Kyler battled in the heat to come out with a 1, 2 finish with Diesel on top. The final, during the afternoon session was a battle between Kyler and Diesel once again, with Kyler taking the top podium position with Diesel right on his heals for P2! Miss Stella had her best finish to date in her heat with 5th place! These kiddos are coming and taking the track by storm! #Iamthestorm
206 Sportsman had good racing by both Lincoln Willey and Kacen Hendrickson!
Kacen had taken a hard hit to the scoring tower on Friday, which made him a little skidish coming out for Saturday's practice and qualifying. by the final he was able to get a top 10 finish in P8. Lincoln raced hard and made great moves.
In the 206 Medium class, Brayden Johnson was ready to race! He qualifies P4, finish the heat P6 and by final time, Braydon raced hard and was able to take home a top 5!
