• Arrow karts scored impressive victories in the United States on the weekend. Competing at the Rotax Challenge of the Americas, Phil DeLaO dominated the Senior MAX class, qualifying fastest and winning easily in a classy field. Ken Maxfield took line honours in Max Masters after a spirited battle. He had earlier qualified his Arrow fastest in the field. A number of other Americans proved competitive in the Aussie-built kart, such as Saturday's Mini Max top qualifier, Roy Fulmer IV. Link to event report and photos on ekartingnews HERE.
