Competitive COMPKART at US Trophy East RD1
June 24, 2024
The US Trophy East series kicked off in June at Motorsports Country Club (MCC), a beautiful complex facility that provides both slow and fast range corners creating a challenging condition for drivers and mechanics alike. The event hosted all the normal Rotax categories with RMC Grand Final tickets award to the series champions in Mini MAX, Sr MAX and Masters MAX.
COMPKART entered the following drivers in its official team:
Oliver Hodgson – Sr MAX
Cooper O’Clair – Sr MAX
Theo Kekati – Sr MAX
Conner Lypka – Mini MAX
Derek Wargo – Jr MAX
The event started well with Thursday and Friday being open to customary open testing with the team slotting in nicely with all drivers as the build up to the racing weekend encroached. “The circuit here is a relative challenge with such slow corners mixed with a very long straight the management of engine is something that takes more attention to detail than most circuits. At the end of the event we had a very good solution for our drivers which enabled them all to battle at the front of the field with O’Clair winning in Sr while Hodgson has some bad luck was still able to recover with a good result and the fastest lap and even in Mini or Conner Lypka displayed front running pace the entire event.” — Team Management
Final Results
Conner Lypka – Mini MAX P9
Cooper O’Clair – Sr MAX P2
Oliver Hodgson – Sr MAX P3
Theo Kekati – Sr MAX P6
Derek Wargo – Jr MAX P11
