Where do future race car drivers begin? Usually they begin with racing go karts when they're young with lots of family support. This is not a big sponsored, big money team here.
This past year, I got to see 10 year old JP Borre on his was to winning the Cadet Rookie Championship, driving his #28 AAR stickered kart at Road America!
JP, with the supportive help of his father Emil and whole family, won the championship at Road America.
Grandfather, Ron Nelson, provided some great guidance along with Mike Lashmett and others.
Indy Car racer Scott Dixon is a lot like JP in that he's just a quiet guy until he gets racing. Once in the kart, JP is fast and drives smart.
His #28 blue kart with All American Racers stickers on it would make Dan Gurney proud! He drives like Dan and has Dan's personality that is also just like Scott Dixon.
Keep a watch out for JP Borre. He sure does seen to have what it takes to become a great racer.
Along with JP, you'll see some other kart racers and classes in my photos here.
Thanks,
