NORTH FLORIDA ROTAX MAX CHALLENGE OCALA GRAN PRIX PREVIEW

 "Champions receive free entries to US Grand Nationals"

 

May 28, 2010 - The North Florida Rotax Max Challenge is set to back on track
June 5 - 6th weekend at the Ocala Gran Prix facility in Ocala, Florida. With
free entries awarded to the US Rotax Grand Nationals, a lot will be on the
line as series competitors fight wheel-to-wheel for valuable championship
points. The North Florida Rotax Max Challenge is becoming the premiere Rotax
series in the Northern half of the sunshine state in the summer months and
attracting some of Florida's best teams and competitors.

"We have had nothing but great success in the opening few events," expressed
North Florida Rotax Max Challenge President Jorge Arellano. "The racing
action has been great and the atmosphere in the paddock has been second to
none. Also, drivers have something to shoot for as series champions in all
Rotax classes will receive a free paid entry to the US Grand Nationals held
in Indiana in July courtesy of OGP."

With the event taking place June 5 - 6th, competitors will be treated to
another well run professional event at a premiere Florida facility with more
track time you can imagine. Series teams and competitors will be treated to
a lunch BBQ courtesy of Ocala Gran Prix during Saturday's festivities. 

 

With many championships up for grabs, the current front runners include
Mathias Ramirez in Micro Max while Derek Sobel is currently in the lead of
Mini Max. Rotax Junior is led by Jack West but he is only 15 points ahead of
female pilot Ashley Rogero. Making the move to the senior ranks, Florida
Winter Tour champion Nick Neri leads OGP teammate Brandon Salyer in Rotax
Senior while Rob Maier is currently on the point in Masters. The DD2 top
spot is currently deadlocked between Californian Cody Hodgson and Joe
Vilece.


The North Florida program runs all the normal Rotax divisions including Mini
Max, Junior, Senior, Masters, DD2 and DD2 Masters. Several Florida Karting
Championship Series (FKCS) classes will also be offered, as teams and
drivers are welcomed to come and participate as well as test for the
following weekends FKCS event. Any drivers and teams planning on attending
