The Badger Kart Club once again held a championship points race away from its home facility. And this time they went to the Briggs Motorplex to do battle. Located inside Turn 8 at the Road America facility, this kart track has gotten national attention for its interesting course layout, including major elevation changes, blind turns and off-camber turns. Although the skies looked threatening most of the weekend, the club saw no rain and was able to get the entire program in the allotted time slot.
In racing action, Austin Schmitt and Aron Scalissi seemed to have the field covered in Briggs Animal Lite. However, at the feature, Mike Landeck was able to squeeze that extra little he needed to capture the feature win. Patrick Olsen and Joey Adler were the class of the field in Jr. SSX Can and they put on a great two-kart race all day long. But when the checkers fell for the feature, it was Olsen who was able to cross the line first.
Dan Mussa had to piece his kart back together after a bad heat one crash in HPV Heavy that took out half the field on the first lap. Mussa had to replace quite a lot of hardware but was able to get it back together for heat two, where he finished up front. In the feature, he was the kart on the move, finishing second from his 10th place starting position. Eventual winner Kyle Burow had been strong all weekend and was just to much for Mussa to catch in the end.
Robby Mueller dominated the Briggs Animal Jr. Sportsman class, taking the checkers by over 10 seconds over second place Jeffery Bartz. Joe Brenner had similar luck, demolishing the field by over 18 seconds in the feature. Gavin Hallman continued his quest for a championship repeat by edging out Collin Jackson for the Briggs Animal Junior feature.
Badger Kart Club will return to its home track in Dousman for the next championship points race on May 15. The club will return to Road America in June to host the largest karting road race event on Road America’s 4-mile track, the Road America Supernationals.
