Team Andersen is heading to New Castle

June 5, 2010 - Andersen Racing and its staff are preparing to depart headquarters in Palmetto Florida for an attempt at the National title for Senior rotax. The US Rotax National Championship is only a few days ahead of us and I feel that I've got the tools and talent within team Andersen to be a real threat for the title. We will be up against the best rotax pilots in the country, with the likes of names such as Jesus Rios Junior, Victor Pedrosa, Danny Formal, Nick Neri, and a beehive of others. We will have some great ammunition though.

Our driver count will be light for the Nationals, with only Andy Dunne and Jeremy Kane contending in the Max Senior class. However, a big bonus will be that we can focus our entire effort on these two drivers. We will also be taking delivery on a new fully sealed tent that attaches soundly to our racing trailer. It will expand our pit space by another 240 square feet compared to our old canopy system, and will be more rigid and sealed on all sides. As a tradition to Andersen Racing, I will also be building a floor and carpeting it to provide a comfortable environment for the team to work in. With the rain surely visiting the race event at some point through the racing week, Andersen Racing will be a great place to stay dry during the downpour!

After posting the results that we did a month ago in the warm-up race at New Castle, I know our strategy will be very sound through the Nationals. I think that we have good power, and a good starting setup to roll through testing with. I can thank the guys at Swedetech racing engines for putting together such great motors that function as they are supposed to. Even though I maintain the reeds and top end, the Swedetech folks have assured that all other aspects of the motor have been built with exacting standards. Thanks guys and keep up the great work!

Andy Dunne is 16 years old and he is from Westmont, Illinois. He will be racing in Rotax Senior under the racing number 216. His equipment will be a 2010 Birel R31-S2 with a Swedetech powered FR-125 Max engine.

Jeremy Kane is 15 years old and he is from Lakewood, California. He will be racing in Rotax Senior under an undecided number. His equipment will be a 2010 Birel RY30-S2 with a Full Throttle powered FR-125 Max engine.
