Bruce Brothers Racing – 2013 Season Preview

It will be difficult to top the season Bruce Brothers Racing had in 2012.  Between our two drivers, we had 12 Mid State of Ohio Kart Club (MSOKC) feature race wins out of 23 starts (52%), two MSOKC season championships, and two clean sweeps at the Commercial Point Karting Classic (CPKC). Both Conor and Peter will contest the same classes again in 2013 - 80cc Shifter for Conor and Spec 100 Pipe for Peter.  Our anticipated schedule for 2013 is as follows:

Race No. 1 - Sunday, April 21 - Normal/Qualifying/20 Bonus Points
Race No. 2 - Sunday, May 5 - Normal
Race No. 3 - Sunday, May 19 - Clockwise

All MSOKC championships events will take place at Circleville Raceway Park, which is on U.S. Route 23 just north of Circleville (click here for a map).  As always, thanks to everyone for their encouragement and support.

p.s., Yes, we've already had two races in 2013.  I'll try to get caught up on the race reports, which might be a bit shorter than in previous seasons, before Race No. 3.
