Whitt earns freshman ICA win as Speed doubles to pad his ICC point lead
The second day of competition at the MINI Cooper Grand Prix of Reno is in the books and the action saw rookie Cole Whitt score his first win in the ICA class. It was good day for the freshmen as Ryan Phinny scored his first podium in ICC with a very impressive drive in the headline shifter class. It was a solid run for everyone as the paddock battled warm temperatures and very strong winds throughout the day. It was a clean outing with no red flags and, thankfully, no ambulance runs.

SATURDAY, JUNE 4
Speed tops ICC, Giebler returns topto rung in ICA
A clear day dawned for the first race day of the MINI Cooper Grand Prix of Reno. After a long night’s work on the track, the Stars crew was able to smooth some of the worst bumps on the layout, much to the appreciation of the drivers. Plenty of quick seal was laid down and the end result was a significantly smoother, and therefore faster, racing track. In all, the track gained about one second in most of the classes.

Drivers faced with challenging temp circuit at Reno
The first day of official activities is in the books in Reno and nearly every driver has had their chance to learn the track and get their chassis in tune with what has turned out to be a very rough and challenging parking lot circuit. We say ‘nearly’ because CompCor Tony Kart driver Ryan Yop has not arrived yet at the facility as school commitments prevented him from making the day. Needless to say, he’ll behind in a big way tomorrow with just one short morning warm-up session to learn the track before qualifying. There’s no doubt that Yop will be looking to teammate Jason Bowles for help in getting up to speed.

National teams set to tackle Reno temp circuit
The Snap-on Stars of Karting squad has set up base camp at the Reno Hilton for this weekend’s Western Division race and the event look primed to add a great deal of excitement to the national calendar. All the major players from the west, along with a few from the east, will be on hand to sample a new temporary circuit at the popular resort complex. What the folks from Stars are hoping to develop with their program is not just a series of good races, but a series of good events, and a successful run in Reno could set the tone for future programs modeled after this one.
