IKF Region 7 Sprint Champioship Grangé Motor Circuit, CA September 1-2, 2012 IKF REGION 7 I N T E R N A T I O N A L K A R T F E D E R A T I O N GRANGÉ MOTOR CIRCUIT On Labor Day weekend, the IKF Region 7 Sprint Championship Series headed to Southern California's high desert for Round #5 at Grangé Motor Circuit. Grangé was probably the most interesting event of the year so far. It might have been the full moon or maybe the clean desert air, but either way there was something in the water, as it was crazy all weekend long. The Region 7 series decided to run the circuit backwards this weekend and as always, racing was fantastic. Grangé is one of the few tracks that races nearly as well backwards as it does in its normal clockwise direction. Weather was a little on the hot side, but compared to down the hill where most of the other series tracks are located, it was not too bad. As always Chappy was on the mic and af- KIMBALL ter two heat races, the main events started around 3pm. Saturday and Sunday's programs went off without too many glitches. There was a rare red flag on Saturday in the juniors that slowed the event down a bit but Christian Brooks was ok and took to the track a few classes later unscathed. Noah Grey was the first pole sitter of the weekend in Junior 2 PRD Controlled, running a time of 57.188. Grey was in a class of his own in heat 1, finishing over four seconds ahead of Chance Skaufel and Christian Brooks. Heat 2 was a lot closer with Skylar Estrada and Hannah Grisham not far behind, but Grey still scored the win. The 20 lap main event was anything but typical. All bets were on Grey to take the win, but Royal McKee had other plans. McKee, who just had pins removed from his hand before the event started shotgun on the field. Grey took off at the drop of the green with Estrada, Grisham and Skaufel in tow. The lead quartette quickly distanced themselves from the chance group behind. Coming down the hill Grisham moved into second place, getting around Estrada. Grey was inching out a slight advantage as McKee was moving through the field. By lap 8, McKee was in second and gaining ground on the leader Page 10 Go Racing Magazine
