Winter is almost gone and Kate Re, of Lovell, Maine will be back behind the wheel of the #10 kart, racing in the sportsman series at Richmond Karting Speedway. “I’ve been working on the karts, snowmobiling, going to school, spending time with family and making decisions on the upcoming race season.”
The 2016 race season will be a non-stop adventure for the driver and pit crew of the #10 kart. “KR Motorsports has some great plans for the 2016 race season. We’ll be racing on the dirt at Bartlett Bridge Raceway, in the ladies division. We are also returning to Richmond Karting Speedway this season, running in the Sportsman Division. I’ve also been given the opportunity by one of my sponsors, to try a modified during private practice sessions this summer; which I’m really looking forward to.”

Kayla King from Buxton, Me. will be back at Richmond Karting Speedway in the Sr. Sportsman Series as well as starting a new adventure getting behind the wheel of a legend car. “I will be racing at RKS this season. I’m really looking forward to my 2nd year in Sr. Sportsman. I will also be racing for a championship in Sr. Sportsman. I’ll also be transitioning into my ‘new ride’, we recently bought a legend and I’ll be practicing it. I think this season will be a great year for me to really show some of my ‘top notch’ racing skills. We’ve ordered some parts, but they haven’t quite made it onto the kart yet. Mentally on the other hand, I’m so ready for some racing! I’m super excited to get in touch with some of my racing friends and I can’t wait to go after the point’s championship!” (more…)
