Godfrey Takes Victory at Inaugural IKRL Race Series  

The Indoor Kart Racing League (IKRL) opened up its 2008 season with the first of a series of nationally-run races at Speedway Indoor Raceway in Phoenix, AZ on February 24. This was the first of several IKRL Series that will be developed throughout the U.S. to highlight the talent in the indoor karting ranks.

Each Series that runs will offer as a season-ending first prize a free entry into the U.S. Indoor Karting Championship (USIKC), on a date that has not yet been finalized. The second place driver will earn a new Finish Line Race Gear Snell 2005 helmet, while third in the points in the 10-race series will receive a new race suit.

The winner of the first place trophy and 15 points to begin his chase for the season title was Truman Godfrey. Second in the event was 2004 AZIKC Champion Bryan Van de Bogart while Eric Dickenson completed the podium. Honorable mention went to rookie Jason Burnstein for his fourth place finish. This was Jason’s first race using the 200 pound driver minimum that is required under IKRL rules, which required him to add 95 pounds to his kart. It was certainly a great start to his rookie season.

The second race in the Speedway Series will be run on Sunday, March 16 at Speedway Indoor Karting in Phoenix. For information on entering that race, please contact Steve Lattanzi via blackflagracing@cox.net
