"Kart Racers Show Off Driving Skills at Rock Island"
What happens when you combine a state of the art Software Package from EuroKart-Sim and rFactor, Natural Points, TrackIR4, that puts you into the game with 6 degrees of motion, a solid chassis, RS1000 Race Simulator, and add a great track like Rock Island? You get one of the wildest competitions we have ever seen. With drivers such as Chris Wehrheim, Kyle Wiegand, Brett Smrz, and long time Sim racer Shawn Campbell there was no shortage of smack talk. At the end of it all it was the soft spoken Jones brothers sweeping the event, Eric on Saturday and Brandon on Sunday, with Brandon setting fast lap of the event.
150 drivers competed for over $1000 in cash and prizes. With over 300 drivers taking a test drive. The first participants lined up even before the event began to get a chance to try the latest Simulator Chassis from Wagner Race Products. The WRP crew included Brett Smrz, TJ Koyen, last years big winner, and Derek Wagner doing double duty as designer and driver.
The partnership between EuroKart-Sim.com and Wagner Race Products allowed WRP to put drivers in one of their favorite tracks racing ICA karts. We saw a tremendous demand this year at KMI for additional tracks and kart mods, we will need to ramp up quickly! said Mike Wagner. The industry is changing; new Karts, Motors, and Tools, now add Software and Simulation to the list of NEW products at KMI.
