STARS OF KARTING - AUSTIN, TEXAS (FINAL) – OCTOBER 13TH-16TH

SPEED AND BIREL ONCE MORE CHAMPIONS

THANKS TO ALEX SPEED, BIREL DOMINATES THE 125 ICC CLASS IN THE U.S. TOO.

The weekend in Austin, Texas, closed the racing season of the Stars Federation. At stake were the titles of all the categories, among them the 125 Icc, now the queen class in the United States, too. Birel has always played a leading role also in America, and after Boswell’s victory in 2003 and Alex Speed’s success in the past season, Birel red is the winning colour in the Icc once again. Alex Speed mastered the gear-box class, thus confirming once more Birel’s supremacy. In fact, the most important American title, comes on top of the honours reaped in the course of the exceptional 2005 season by Francesco Laudato (European and World Championship titles). Speed was sure about his victory already on Saturday, when his chief opponent Wiegland went off track. A 3rd place in the Finals (won by David Jurca) was therefore already sufficient for the Mrp Team driver, arriving ahead of his team-mates Boswell (4th) and Phinny (6th). In the Ica category, the victory went to Giebler, while Jacob Neal was first in the Ica/Junior. The Austin weekend included also the Easykart single-brand trophy, won by Freile Jr. The complete results list and the account of the event are available at www.ekartingnews.com
