SNAP-ON STARS OF KARTING National Finals, 19 -21 October Las Vegas

SPEED'S RETURN IN BIREL IS IMMEDIATELY WINNING

The colours of Birel got confirmed Team Top Kart USA as well during last round of the Stars Series ran off in Las Vegas (final competition for the Eastern and Western championship). But, above all, the recovered binomial Birel -Speed has immediately revealed itself as winning team: the American pilot, in fact, back in Birel after 2 years of absence from the top kart , has won the 1st Final race and then conquested the square of honor during Race 2.

In Race 1 the pilot of MRP-Birel American team has conquested the victory biting Snow, Carlton, Allen and Yop, while in Race 2 he got penalized by a problem at the start that forced him to be content with the second place behind Carlton. Also Leesmann was on the podium of Race 2. Birel's pilots were instead unlucky, in the 100 Ica; in Race 1 Nicholas Tonkin was leading the race when a problem at the exhaust forced him to leave off at 7 laps to the end. Tyler Dueck then gained the victory over Kennedy. Great 3rd place, on the contrary, for the pilot of Birel -Mrp team Mike Giessen who preceded Rosenzweig and the team mate Larson.

Giessen has been a great performer of Race 2 leading the race, but, at 5 laps to the end, once again mis-fortune prevented a deserved affirmation of Birel colours: his engine got broken laving the English Jenkins a free way to success. A partial consolation for Birel team was the positive 5th Larson's place, who, over the finishing-line, has been preceded besides Jenkins, by Kennedy, Hogg and Rosenzweig as well.

Once again, at last, Birel's pilots have been confirmed at the top in the Cadet category: in Race 1 Karam and Murray have gotten respectively the 2nd and 3rd place behind Tyler Thomas and then inverted their positions in Race 2 always behind the same winner. Is has to be highlighted the presence on the circuit of the management and some of the main Birel Motorsport technicians to guarantee an efficient assistance to the most important Birel teams while planning and identifying some initiatives that will be implemented in view of next season.

For the same purpose some pilots have been observed as potential collaborators of either Birel or MRP team. Meantime next important appointment for American karting will be the Finals of Skusa Series planned for next November, events in which Birel's top team will be present again.
