his way by Shaw, and left Elliott and Chad Nascimento to stay glued to the back of Shaw!! There were 15 laps in the Main Event, and that gave Shaw the opportunity
over the field as he locked in another win in the WKA West Super Series!! Milton, Prinzo, Matthew Proud, and Peterson rounded out the top five and they will for sure bring what we have come to expect as a standard for great racing!!! HPV 1
he needed to take back his spot and his win for the day! Jonathon Leach and Nick Grossi clawed their way up as well, but with a DQ in tech for his header, Grossi was DQ’d. RJ Kahler rose to the third place podium finish with Elliott in fourth and Mills in the fifth spot finish for the Clone Sr class!! Great job guys!! The question remaining is what’s coming for the next round in the WKA West Super Series, checking in at Blue Max Kart Club?!?! HPV 2
Ten drivers and only one first place trophy; round 5 of racing for the HPV 2 class set the stage for a brutal battle, and word had made its way around through the pits during the practice day already that Jason Pettit was fast!!! Qualifying went underway and Pettit set a quick time of 42.395, with Mikey Prinzo just behind him at a 43.048!! After a DNF call was placed for Pettit, he was forced to start from the back of the ten kart field for the start of the Heat! This in no way deterred Pettit, who came from the back all the way up to second place behind Blake Milton, after Prinzo was DQ’d in tech for fuel!! Eric Nascimento made his way behind Pettit, and had his work cut out for him while he held off Milton, Christian Peterson, Callum Smith, and Prinzo! Pettit maintained his domination

In his second class of the day, Clayton Williams once again sets a high bar for the other five drivers in the HPV 1 class, with a 44.937 in Qualifying, six tenths ahead of Chase Farley, and Anthony Freese! Williams kept a tight hold on his pole position in the first Heat session, and Farley utilized all eight laps to look for a way in, and that work paid off in the Pre Final when Williams couldn’t hold Farley back anymore!! Charlie Drago held tight to the third position as the remainder of the class did not finish! Farley saw the green flag go out for the start of the Main Event and darted out to defend his spot, but on the third lap, Williams stuck his nose in right where it belonged and got by Farley, and managed to hold him off long enough to walk away with the win for this class!!! Branden Benedix, Drago, and Nathan Haney made the complete podium for the top five! Some more great driving is expected for Round 6!! PRD Spec
Four drivers made up the PRD Spec class in Marina for the fifth round of racing, and Austin DeMent was ready to fight as he came out swinging with a 42.281 for the Qualifying session! Matt Koerner came up with a close second place start for the first Heat session at a 42.325, just ahead of former champ Matt Chase!! DeMent took the hole shot in the Heat with Cabot Bigham hot on his bumper, and trailed Koerner through the checkered!! Bigham got too close for DeMent’s comfort and in the Pre Final, Bigham made his move for the first place spot, followed closely by Chase and Koerner!! Bigham had his win in the bag, but the third lap proved to be exactly what Koerner needed to make his comeback from a second place finish in the previous round of racing in Reno, and Koerner took the win, Bigham was sent back behind Chase, and just ahead of DeMent, just in time for the
