“The racing was tough this weekend. The constant change in track conditions led to an interesting weekend, but we were successful in the end, topping the time sheets in every session,” expressed Brodie after the completion of the event. “It was sure difficult out there as the weather challenged us all weekend long. We went from dry to wet on three different occasions but the Vemme Kart handled to perfection in all conditions, and I could not have asked for anything more. I would like to thank Vemme Kart for the factory support. Their knowledge was a big help in the challenging and ever changing conditions.”
With weather challenging teams and competitors all weekend long, series officials had to delay some racing action as torrential downpours broken up by sunny periods wreaked havoc throughout the paddock. When the dust had settled on Sunday afternoon, it was Vemme Kart that stood atop the podium after claiming the checkers in the main event.
Brodie continued, “The Vemme Kart is really turning some heads here in the Pacific Northwest and it is only a matter of time until we start winning on the national stage. I look forward to continuing to work with Vince Mandarino and Vemme Kart.”
The IKF Region 6/NW Gold Cup Sprint Kart Series is one of the largest IKF Regional series programs in North America and has had a great kick off to the 2010 racing season. The nationally recognized Canadian and United States race series attracts national and internationally known racers to compete in highly contested racing action. The series is recognized as the regional qualification series for the Rotax Max Challenge Grand National Championship in which Brodie hopes to compete at and possibly podium to represent Canada at the Rotax World Finals.
