RACE REPORT: ICC Shifter Rookie Evan Walters Has Great Run At WKA Manufactures Cup Event
(St. Louis, MO) It was Walters Motorsports second event ever for running a shifter. The last time was with an 80cc shifter at a small track in St. Louis. Now the team took on the heavy challenge of driving an ICC with absolutely no testing at one of the biggest national races of the year. It was the WKA Manufactures Cup race in New Castle, IN against some of the toughest competitors in the country.
Evan was forced to travel to the track on Friday with no help, the rest of the crew had other things they needed to take care of in St. Louis. Vogel Racing hauled the kart to the track for us and let Evan pit under their tent. This meant 15 year old Evan was forced to learn an entirely new machine all on his own, as Vogel Racing had a lot of business to take care of running 4 karts that weekend within 2 drivers. By the end of the day Evan had worked a lot of the bugs out of his driving and would be just about ready to do some racing.
