MiniGPX staffers will be at this weekend’s AMRA races held in Calgary.
In addition to a reporter beating the pavement…keep an eye out for MiniGPX sponsored rider Peter Lenz and his teammates Bennie Taylor and Devon McDonough on their BMS Factory racing Smokin’ Pocketbikes.
Several senior class pocketbike riders from around the USA are scheduled to make the trek.
SCminiGP, SoCal’s leading youth road racing organization has recently
acquired new staff to help execute their race day events.
SCminiGP would like to announce that Rick Brown will be taking the role of
Event Race Director for SCminiGP’s next two events at CalSpeed Karting
facility. After those two events Rick will most likely join SCminiGP till
the end of 2006 and possibly the entire season for 2007.
Rick Brown brings 26 years of race director experience and currently
provides his services for Karting Ventures, and Gold Coast Karting Club.
Rick is also scheduled to be the Race Director for the 2006 IKF Grand
Nationals held at CalSpeed Karting. The Grand Nationals, a 10 day event,
are considered to be one of the biggest kart races in the US.
“We are excited to bring Rick on board and know he will be a valuable
addition to our staff. Improving our program is our top priority so we are
bringing on big talent to support our goals.” says Josiah Taulbee, Race &
Marketing Director for SCminiGP.

About SCminiGP:

dedicated to providing a professional and fun environment for riders of
all ages, supporting a progressional advancement of skill and talent that
will open the doors to a future in road racing for tomorrow’s champions.”
While working on their 2007 race schedule the CMRRA considered running a few events at the Adams Kart Track in Riverside, California where they have raced in the past. That is, until they got a 2007 price.
According to Al Lyons of the CMRRA, to rent Adams it isn’t as reasonable as it used to be, “Their present track rent is $5000.00 per day or $450.00 per hour! Believe me, I could rent the big track at Willow for less than that.”
Needless to say the CMRRA won’t be running Adams in 2007 unless something changes.
Pre-teen racers Cody Wood, Bennie Taylor and Peter Lenz took home wins in the NMRRA races. The three riders leading up a wave of young riders to win races in the NMRRA series. Other youngsters to watch include Kinzer N, Mackenzie A and Tyler L.

After 20 Years, Wegman Fund to Say Farewell
As of December 31, 2006, the Wegman Benefit Fund will close its books. The final fundraising event will be the 20th Annual Action to be held on Saturday, September 23rd at Blackhawk Farms Raceway in South Beloit, Illinois. After this date, the Fund will no longer accept donations.
The Wegman Benefit Fund will continue to assist injured road racers through the end of the year. At that time, all remaining funds will be donated to other injured racer funds, the Roadracing World Action Fund and Motor Racing Outreach.
After 20 years of helping injured racers, and much soul searching, I have decided to retire the fund to spend more time with my family.
The Wegman Board of Directors in its entirety extends its appreciation to all of the people who helped the fund through their hard work and donations. We have made many life long friends and will cherish the memories.
Thank you for 20 wonderful years of your generosity, sportsmanship and caring.
Sincerely,
Gordon Lunde
Founder
Wegman Benefit Fund, Inc.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
