August 25, 2010 - Andersen Racing and its band of drivers and crew are finalizing the pack-up as we begin the move to Monticello for the final round of this year's Florida Karting Championship Series (FKCS). I'm very excited to finally make it up to one of my favorite Florida tracks - a smooth and flowing layout that challenges the patience of the drivers and the creativity of the tuners. A main focus for the team will be to help in any way possible our championship contenders complete their seasons with a elite success. Jacob Duvall and Michael McCarthy have been at the leading edge of their classes all year long, so I believe that we've put some great setups together to start the weekend off right.
There have also been some rising stars within Andersen Racing, and I'm curious to see if they keep the upward spiral they've created from a continual forward progress made on previous races. Michael Melancon and Jake Mottaz showed promise in Jacksonville, and they're both arriving with a plan for shared testing and team driving to help accelerate their learning during the all important test day.
Some first time racers will be attending the monticello round of the FKCS, Austin Miles and Kyle Andersen will be racing the TaG Senior and Cadet class, respectively. Austin has been taking a break for most of the year, and can't wait to get on track. Kyle will be attending his first race ever, so we'll be making sure he has a great experience on track and that he learns as much as possible on his maiden outing with the Andersen Team.
Mitchell St.Cin has steadily progressed through the FKCS series and though he's a bit overweight for his class, Mitchell will give it a go and we'll be next to him in support of whatever he needs for the race. Xia Fan has also returned from his summer in China to catch up with us for Monticello. Unfortunately, we'll be missing Eddie for this round, as he has to attend to business matters at Andersen RacePark and can't be pulled away for the weekend.
Here is a complete drivers' list for Andersen racing for Monticello FKCS :
Jacob Duvall - TaG Senior, TaG One, Rotax Senior
Michael Melancon - TaG Senior, Rotax Senior
Jacob Mottaz - TaG Senior
Austin Miles - TaG Senior
Michael McCarthy - Rotax Mini Max
Mitchell St.Cin - Rotax Mini Max
Kyle Andersen - Cadet Komer K80
Xia Fan - Rotax Mini Max
I'll be sure to get out a report to everyone next week with our results. Until then, we'll be hard at work for the team and our drivers.
