Colorful. Controversial. Constructive. We’re entering the closing stages in the United States Pro Kart Series season and it’s certainly been eventful to this point.

I will never forget the first time I watched a YouTube video covering Superkarts! USA SuperNationals in Las Vegas. I had no idea that the event even existed until after we bought our first shifter karts, and Justin told me I should look it up. I was blown away by the intensity and magnitude of […]

As most people know, racing is not always sunshine and rainbows.  Besides the glorious moments of euphoria when standing on a makeshift podium, holding a priceless plastic trophy, spraying a cheap bottle of champagne, racing can be one of the most tasking endeavors anyone can undertake.  Yet, I have found that the grueling process of […]
