Champions of the 2012 Fall Sport & Pro Leagues




On Saturday Dec 1st and Sunday Dec. 2nd the Sport & Pro leagues held their final races of the 2012 Fall League season. Points were totaled up and Champions were crowned.

 The 10th  Sport league race ( Final) was won by Ariel Rubio with Erik McCorvey taking 2nd and on the podium for the first time was John Moldt who raced his way to 3rd. Going into the Sport League Main on the GP Track, there was only a 1 point difference between Ariel Rubio and Chaz Baca Sr so 2nd overall came right down to the end.

 It has been a great league season and one that has seen a good cross section of indoor kart racers coming together to compete every Tuesday night. I want to take this opportunity to thank all the racers who took the time and resources to do this and the Octane Raceway admissions/track and mechanical staff for helping to make this a racing league to remember. Manager James Gibbins stepped up and was instrumental in putting together the score sheets and for being a key player every league race to make sure it went as smooth as possible. Thank You!!!

What’s in store for 2013? More league racing is on the table and as soon as we have a firm plan in place the info will be posted to the Octane Raceway website and emails will be sent out. Once again it’s been my honor and pleasure to be involved with the league racing as an organizer and also as a racer.

 

Whatever Holiday you celebrate have a festive one and a Happy New Year!

 

See you all sooner than later and don’t forget…If you’re Late, You may have to Spectate!

 

Keep the Rubberside Down,
