Story by Chris Roy
\n11 year old Kate Re of Lovell, Maine is getting ready for the 2015 race season in the Junior Sportsman Division, at Richmond Karting Speedway. \u201cI\u2019m excited to start the racing season and am almost ready. The karts are mostly ready having participated in two motorsports shows this winter \u2013 Northeast Motorsports Expo and Racin\u2019 Preview 2015. We still have some mechanical work to do but we are ready for the most part.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even in the off season, the Re race team has been gearing up for race new season. \u201cWe did a couple car shows in the off season, helping to support Richmond Karting Speedway. I\u2019ve also done a lot of snowmobiling and we\u2019ve been getting some new safety equipment for the upcoming season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Opening day for the 2015 race season at RKS is April 26th. \u201cI plan to race clean but more aggressive than I did last year. I\u2019d like to win more than one race and maybe even contend for the Championship.\u201d<\/p>\n

Working on the race car with her crew chief, is one of reasons for Kate\u2019s success at RKS . \u201cIt gives me a better understanding of how the Kart operates. Knowing this helps me be a better racer because I can tell my dad (my crew chief), how the kart is handling and what needs to be changed to make it run better. \u201c<\/p>\n

Last season Kate raced the 10 kart in the Boxstocks, this season she will be racing in the Jr Sportsman. \u201cThe Jr. Sportsman is a faster class, I think it will be more fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is a lot of strong competition in the Jr Sportsman Division, so can Kate win the championship this race season? \u201cI think I can and I\u2019m going to try, but it\u2019s not going to be easy. I race with a lot of good drivers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kate would like to thank this year\u2019s sponsors for their support; without them, she wouldn\u2019t be able to enjoy the sport she loves so much.
