Latest News:

June 29th Race Report: TERAKC race#7 another Tuesday night without rain! maybe were getting over the bad weather hump.

Kid Karters started us out with Ella, Preston and Grace Ruh along with Taylor Perl, Gavin Lewandoske and Parker Annis (thanks)

Clean sweeps were the name of the game tonight, with Derek Kaat in Briggs 206 Sports, Travis Cevaal in Animal Senior and

Chad Stenson in Kohler XKE.

In the Animal Junior class we had fantastic racing between Evan Pecore, Josh Steinke and Austin Arenz. In the feature Evan took

lead from pole setter Josh with Austin glued to both of them, lap after lap they battled for the lead, Josh completed several passes

only to have Evan come right back and take the lead, and Austin got along side of Josh a few times. In the end all 3 came across

the line with 4 tenth's covering the trio!!! now that's good close racing.

June 26th Race Report: RAKC round 4 of 9 was held under good weather, good racing and good fun conditions.

The Kid Kart class kicked off tonight's racing action, in Champion Kid Karts Seth Hickman and Zach Preiser split the heat races and

Seth came out on top in the feature (great job by all the kid kart drivers).

Briggs 206 Sport's Derek Kaat took both heat races and Gabriel Zellner took the Feature race.

Yamaha Sport's Bill Faust and Grant Griesbach split the heat races, with Grant winning the feature followed by Bill and Braden Weiss.

Zach Hawley lead the way over Austin Arenz in Animal Junior and Colin Gliniecki swept Animal Senior.

The most entertaining race of the night was Yamaha Heavy with the top three Juan Sotelo, Scott Veilgut and Jeff Markwardt

swapping positions, wheel banging and going 3 wide at times, but going 3 wide into the double apex didn't work for Juan with only

a couple laps to go, leaving Scott leading and Jeff shadowing him, after a drag race out of the last corner Jeff took the win by

13 thousands of a second !!!!

In Komet Senior action Grant Zimmermann and Niki Feld split the heats, with Grant coming out on top in the feature.

The fastest lap of the night goes to TaG driver Eric Schumacher at 33.565 now that's hauling the mail !!!

May 18th Race Report: Road America Karting Club's Tuesday evening series opener was held under clear skies, with a dozen or

so first time kart racers learning the track along with the regulars learning the new tire compound made for an interesting night

of racing. The Kid Kart class had 8 entries putting on a good show for us (thanks parents!!! I mean crew chiefs).

In the Briggs 206 Sports class the battle resumed from last year between Derek Kaat and Hunter Annis with Hunter coming out

on top, but Derek was only a tick behind in this early season race.

Last years champ Zach Hawley took to the front of the Animal Junior class, but Josh Steinke and Austin Arenz were not far behind

they both were champs last year and moved up to Animal Junior's, looks like we might have a good battle throughout the year?

Both Animal Senior and Kohler XKE classes put on a good show and both have decent kart counts.

May 15th Race Report: RAKC race#2 was held Saturday night, with nearly 60 racers finally getting the season kicked off !!!!

There were several new faces along with last years regulars making an interesting night of racing, thanks to all who came out.

First up Kid Karts and Champion Kid Kart group of 9 young racers mixing it up, 2nd group was made up of Briggs Sports classes,

then we had a group of Yamaha Sports with many checking out the club and night racing for the first time! we hope they had a

good time and we hope even more give us a try and grow this class.

The biggest group of the night was made up of Animal Juniors and Seniors, I think they provided the most excitement too! with

some struggling to find grip and a couple of new drivers thrown in the mix. The rest of the Senior classes also had a good showing.
