The “Duffy”
Karting’s Highest Award
Each year, hundreds of karters from all of the
USA participate in the IKF Grand Nationals in
hopes of winning their class and becoming an
IKF Grand National Champion. Along with this
prestigious title, each driver is competing for the
most coveted award in karting, the “Duffy.”
Prior to 1976, each Grand National Champion
received a TV set or a plaque as their award. At the
1976 April Meeting of the I.K.F. Board of Directors,
Administrative Director Bob Graham presented
the Board Members with a model of the 12 inch
bronze statuette that was to be mounted on a 6
inch wooden base. The designer of this
model was Pete Millar. The Board Members agreed that karting needed
a “grand prize” to present to each Grand National
Champion; something that was out of the ordinary
and unique as most karters received many trophies
each year for participating in local or regional
events. The vote was taken and the statuette
was presented, for the first time, at the
1976 I.K.F. Grand Nationals. From 1976 to 1981, it was known as the “Joe
Karter” award. At the January 1981 Board Meeting,
President John Strauser called for the Board’s
vote to honor a man who, just the month before,
had retired from I.K.F. and karting. This well
know gentleman had been active in karting as a
driver, mechanic, Board Member, past President
several times of the I.K.F., and was the Co-Founder
of organized karting and the Go-Kart Club of
America, which evolved into the International Kart
Federation. His name, Frank “Duffy” Livingstone. President Strauser made the announcement that henceforth the statuette was to be
known as the “Duffy.”

A “Back in the Day” Story by Joe Karter:
Moon Over Riverside
W
ithout doubt, Kathey Hartman and Lynn Haddock are the most successful IKF Kart racers
EVER. Between them, they have more Duffies
than anybody probably ever will again. However, that’s
not what this story is about.
Let’s go back to Riverside International Raceway in
1978 or 1979. For some reason
that I never understood, four Karters
decided to get “cheeky”
and pull a prank on
Kathey. Maybe it was
because she won all the
time, or that she was a
WOMAN or maybe they
just were being ornery.
Whatever the reason,
they decided to surprise
her as she went under
the bridge on the back
straight and showed their
collective rears. By the
way, I mean that literally
not figuratively.
Riverside had this
HUGE long back straightaway that stretched for
almost a mile. You came
onto the back chute right
out of the pretty tight scoring turns and looked down
at what seemed like an endless straightaway. You then
ran slightly downhill until
you went under a bridge that
allowed traffic in and out of
the track while races were
going on. From there the track
went slightly uphill, into a
kink to the left. Then you bent
around to the right
into the famous (infamous?) turn nine. The second generation turn nine was a lightly banked 180 degree that
had this intimidating steel wall on your left. In one of the
faster singles, this was a flat out turn but if you wanted to
keep your momentum up (momentum was everything at
Riverside) you let the Kart drift up toward that steel wall.
10
If you were doing it right, you came off the corner about
a foot off the wall. From there, you went down the pit
straight and got your signals from your buds. A kink to
the left just past the pits, and a right into the famous Riverside “esses.” All the time going uphill, left, right, left,
up to turn six. Around six to
the right, downhill, then uphill
and over the crest. A little to
the left into scoring, around to
the right onto the back chute.
A lap at Riverside. Got it?
About midway through
the hour, as Kathey (leading
of course) approached the
aforementioned bridge she
was greeted by the sight of
four guys just off the track
to the right with their pants
down giving her a quadmoon. I understand she
almost drove off the track.
After the race when Kathey told her husband John
Hartman about it, he threw
a fit. Kathey supposedly
wasn’t that upset about it.
Now you gotta understand that I know who the
four “culprits” were but
I’m not going to rat them
out even after all these
years. Guess all four
and you will win the
not-yet-famous “Moon
over Riverside” award.
Incidentally, I was in
that same race and they

session of several photos
of the incident. Email me at wcpeacock@bak.rr.com and
I'll pass them on. Submit your guesses to me. and I'll let
you know how you did!
—Joe Karter (aka Bill Peacock)
The karts are Kathy, Tod Fasano (I'm “almost” positive), and Kel McIntee. Note Kel
waving his fist in approval. This photo (of the karts) was actually taking on the
next lap after Bones came off the bank and back across the track.
Here's a pic of Old “Joe Karter” aboard his Dick Peck Hornet taken at Riverside
WAY back in the day (probably around 1965).

2011 Grand National Reports from Directors in Charge and Tech Directors
Road Race Report – Director in Charge Ed Diederich
Event held in Decatur TX. 95-100 degrees each day. Professional race.
Entries low. Really good racing. Small amount of younger drivers. Safe
event. Great program and advertising. Good promotion. Tech – no
major problems, color of weights.
Road Race Report – Tech Director John Motley
Good weather. Good organization. Fair track but complaints about
bumps. Good tech with John Sefick. Low entries.
4 Cycle Sprint – Director in Charge Mike Schorn
The event as a whole went very well. The numbers were down. The
Shasta Club was willing to do anything that was needed to make the
event run smoothly. They brought in a veteran crew to ensure the racers
had a great event. The facility was well prepared for the event.
There were a few things that could have gone better, one of the problems was how the pre-entries were handled and verifying the punch
rule and making sure this was done correctly. Practice could have run
better with an improved schedule.
The tech crew did an excellent job. Tech was done in a timely manner
and very efficiently.
Day 1 went smoothly we had 1 DQ in tech. We had 44 entries. The
driving was good and very competitive across the board. Even with the
numbers down we had some very talented and skilled drivers.
Day 2 we had 45 entries with the Masters class being our biggest
class of the event running this day. The races that day were fun to watch
and were very competitive. We also had several DQ’s this day.
Day 3 entries were down and we had 1 DQ. Racers did a great job
and we ended the event on a positive note.
Over all the event went well and I think it was a positive experience
for all involved. I would like to thank Rick and Janet Scribner for all
of their help at the event. I would also like to thank Glenn Araki, and
Terry Nash for helping to make the event go smoothly. Thanks also to
14
the Shasta Kart Club and all their members for their hard work.
4 Cycle Sprint – Director in Charge Terry Nash
Report read by Mike Schorn. Sparse showing of competitors preceding the event. Rain forecast. Low entries. Participants were cream of the
crop. Racing competitive – most winners were not decided until the last
lap. Hard working tech crew - considers them the best in the country.
Roger Cathey, Mike Schorn, Chris Hatch and Mike Orear to be commended for their devotion to honesty and integrity and understanding
of the Rulebook. Did groundwork in preparation for next years event.
Wants young engine builders involved in the tech process. Word was
tech was strict but fair. Pre-tech done with a form letter signed by the
competitor. No DQ’s because of safety violations. Few DQ’s in the tech
barn with no disputes over the calls.
4 Cycle Speedway – Director in Charge Bill Hilger
370 entries. Event hampered all week by intermittent rain. Practice
went well. BBQ Dinner offered. On Opening Day, City Officials and
Dignitaries spoke to the crowd. Fly over. Staff worked very hard. One
day event postponed. Very competitive race days, multiple challenges.
One incident. Safe event. Raceceivers were used at event – went very
well. Very valuable tool. Good feedback from drivers. Registration was
superb, staff was very friendly. Race officials worked together very well.
Club members worked very hard; good personnel. Nothing but praise
for the volunteers that hosted the event. Maxxis tires were given away
each day at the drivers meeting.
Numbers were down. Next year is a combination of the 2 & 4 Cycle
Speedway; lots of planning on classes and race structure. Will probably
add a day or more to the event. Chase’n Race’n Magazine was at the
event; impressed with IKF race structure. Great event. Medical staff
great.
Engine Builder Award sponsored by Briggs & Stratton/IKF was won
by Tom Rayl. Hoseheadradio.com was also at the event, live internet
radio.
4 Cycle Speedway – Tech Director in Charge Doug Norgaard
Pre Tech went very well. All karts were checked before practice on
Monday and all karts were checked before every day of racing.
SDKC had tech tools to check all measurements on the kart including seat height. The only thing SDKC did not have to check with was
the wheel base measurement. That had a few racers upset, the racer
said that there were karts that were short on the wheel base. With that
being said SDKC after the Grands have purchased a tech tool to check
wheel base with.
Mark Alton did a great job of staying on top of post heat techs. Mark
checked different things when the racers came off the track after the
heats. Mark also checked tires and engine seals after the features before
sending the karts to post tech.
Mark wrote down the top 5 finishers on a tablet for each class like I
asked for. Then we set up 4 stations for teching. We had a very smooth
working system going and tech was over in just little over one hour.
We had 4 very good tech people, Cal Tchetter, Lee Miller, Mark Alton
and Shawn Huse. We had one engine that did not pass tech. Every tech
person checked the engine one by one and came up with the same thing.
So, as a group, we had to disqualify the racer.
With all the hard work from the 3 pre tech people and 4 post tech
people, this was a very smooth tech program this year.
2 Cycle Speedway/Speedway Midget – Director in Charge & Tech
Director Jack Hoegerl
The 2011 IKF Speedway/Speedway Midget Nationals were held July
31st through August 5th. The event was held at Delaware Speedway
in Delaware, IA, and was hosted by Tri-County Karters / promoted by
Bill and Candice Rieken.
The week started hot and humid along with tempers. 95-100 degree
temperatures, humidity 90 degrees. Daily pre-tech was performed by
Chris Schweer and myself. Sunday afternoon before the official practice
began, a barbecue dinner was provided by the Riekens. Every night of
the event either bottled water, watermelon, a dinner or ice cream was
provided. Monday's night of racing started with the track being dusty, but Dennis (the track man) soon had the track under control. Tuesday night continued with hot weather and fierce competition. Wednesday started with a cooler night, and tempers mellowed.
Thursday night was beautiful racing weather, with a chance of
rain. There was no rain and the event completed Thursday night as
scheduled. All racing for the week was completed before the midnight
curfew. Final awards were given out that night. All other awards were
given out the next afternoon of the previous night of racing.
Post tech was performed by George Clausen, Larry Killam, Tom
Krause and myself. These guys bring many years of experience and
dedication to the event. There was one engine DQ because of a timing
issue. Unfortunately, this was a first place winner. A correction to the
engine was made by Tech personal for the next night and the competitor
won that night. This shows the dedication of the help I have.
Fuel was a pump-around system with Burris castor being used.
Flagman for the week was Chris Schweer, who held his own during
the event. Registration and scoring were led by Christy Schweer. Two
excellent corner workers, Eric and Andy Pollard, served for the entire
week.
Race directing was alternated by Lisa Harney, Dave Abell, and Eric
Pollard.
The First Responders were present all week. Did not have to get on
the track. No reportable injuries.
Candice Rieken had obviously spent many days arranging this event
and was always available for help.
As usual, by the time the event was over some competitors expressed
unhappiness in the officiating and felt IKF should bring in all outside
officials. As usual, no competitors were willing to pay a higher entry fee
to make that happen. Even Though Region 5 had suffered several rain
outs and a race cancellation the event entries maintained their average
of 200 entries.
Overall this was a successful event for everyone.
Faye Pierson joins the Meeting.
2 Cycle Sprint Report– Director in Charge Bill Hilger
Event held at CalSpeed was a week of good racing but the heat took its
toll. 229 entries. Experienced group of employees under the direction of
Rob Niles. Everyone knew what their task was and did it very well. Race
Officials and Rob Niles met to discuss plan for the week. Race Directors
were Bob English and Taylor Jocelyn. Races were good each day. Track
layout led to safe racing. Multiple passing zones were available. Heat
took toll on the racers and staff. Had extra staff. Bridgestone tires were
handed out at each drivers meeting. Registration staff was A+. More than
one competitor complimented on the registration staff. Registration staff
is the first contact at the event. Racing surface and facilities were very
good. Food not so good. Plenty of officials. Assessment of penalties took
a long time. Feels the awards presentation should be done at the drivers
meeting before the race starts. Not fair to sponsors. Raceceivers worked
well the first day. Days were too long for the competitors – rushed them
though and out. Rob Niles and his employees did a great job hosting the
event. Attendance low. Event not promoted as it should be.
Araki comments that tech was rushed.
2 Cycle Sprint Report – Tech Director John Motley
Excellent staff of Gene Severino, Frank Jimenez and Carolyn Adams.
Two issues in tech – limited space and drop dead time deadline to be
met. KPV pipe and clutch issues. Variety of DQ’s. Heat was a problem.
Overall, tech went fine, no terribly controversial issues. PRD USA supKARTER NEWS - january 2012
plied air cleaner cups. Did PRD leak down test. Needed more space and
shade. Pre-tech Form was big issue, did not have a Form for each day.
Discussion on the Pre-Tech Form. Should have a Form for each day.
Colin Reese joins the Meeting.
PROPOSALS
Submitted by Motley:
1. Engine changes in 2 Cycle Sprint/TaG: Should demonstrated damage to an engine occur, the Technical Inspector may allow repair or the
substitution of a like engine. The burden for demonstrating damage
rests with the competitor. If the competitor is unable to demonstrate
damage, one additional engine (total of 2) MAY be approved by the
Technical Inspector. If approved, the competitor will start the next competition session at the back of the lineup. The intent of these rules is to
repair engine damage, NOT to perform maintenance. The interpretation
will be up to the Technical Inspector.
Discussion: Motley states competitors change engines with no penalty. Chaos for the tech personnel. Not a broad based problem – only a
handful of people. Seconds by Schorn and Diederich. In Favor: Araki,
Diederich, Hoegerl, Motley, Norgaard, Schorn, Scribner, Verlengiere.

Update on Region 11 Sprint by Don Durbin. Upcoming meeting with
clubs. Discussion on possible race dates and other series dates. Plan is
to not schedule over major events.
Scribner suggests exception to the no double points rule for races
held after the Grand Nationals.
Durbin feels something has to be done for events after the Grand
Nationals. Scribner says 100 bonus points does not change the game;
double points could be a game changer. Araki states the double points
help those who attend vs. those who do not attend.
Durbin discusses points structure in qualifying, pole position. Araki
states this can be done in the regional series. Discussion on IKF and
series points. Regions need to declare their regional points structure
for the year.
Stewart Willis asks about the Junior I Comer re: no option year. Araki
suggests a new class be created: Rookie Comer, 7-9 yrs. old. Will allow
a 10 year old to race the class. Willis suggests 7-10 competition age with
no option year. Araki needs help with verbiage to allow them to go
from Kid Kart to Rookie Comer and back. Wants same competitor to
race three days. Araki states purpose of class is to allow them to not
move up. Can be run as a local option class. Wants to see class run in
Region 7 series.
Discussion on lack of IKF branding in regional series and Grand
National.
Christopher Morrow discusses the Grand National waiver rule. Asks
for clarity to the exceptions that allow for a waiver and intent of the
rule. Has specific issue with this year’s Grand National waiver i.e. states
winner of class was not eligible to race. Not fair to other competitors.
Discussion of waiver form. Board decided to accept waivers up to the
day of the event. Board approved the waiver request.

Committee Reports
2 Cycle Tech –. Jack Hoegerl
I have improved my methods of communication with members via
e-mail and phone calls. With being a Board Member too many times
rules are made or changed at Board meeting leaving Tech Committee
members out of the loop. I have made a serious effort to keep members
informed by e-mailing updates and phone calls. at the same time they
are submitted for publication. It appears that not only IKF members
but, also Tech Committee members don't review the Tech updates on
our website. I stress that I have discussed the changes previously with
members unless the changes were made at a Board meeting.
For the 2012 season Don Durbin Sr. and Terry Nash have been added
to the Committee which includes Lynn Haddock, Terry Ives, John Motley and myself as Chairman.
The 2011 season saw only a few updates or clarification of rules.
The KPV engine saw several changes for 2011. The first being a new
importer, a new pipe and header, a crankcase casting change, and several clutch changes throughout the season. We are currently going thru
another clutch drum change. While these changes appear to be for the
good, I would hope that this situation closes. I feel that IKF is just along
for the ride.
With the economy as it is, the Committee tries to keep cost, availability, and obsolete products in mind. With this in mind we continue
to keep changes at a minimum.
4 Cycle Tech Committee Report - Terry Nash – read by Mike Schorn
The 4 Cycle Tech Committee was a busy entity this past year. Changes in the 4 Cycle racing world were noticed for 2011 with the smaller numbers across the board at sanctioned events. Backed up by the
smaller numbers of karters racing at our National events. I believe the
economy has played a large part in our diminished numbers. Although
the numbers were smaller the racing among the entries was very tense.
The front-runners seem to come to the big events. Communication with
the Committee as a whole was fair. There should be some changes made
for 2012 to thin out the group and include only those wanting to be
actively involved.
Once again I would like to accolade Mike Schorn for all of his hard
work and valued counsel this past year. Without his hand on the computer communication, the whole year could have fallen in a heap.
Throughout the 2011 season many concerns were voiced in the area
of measuring many components in the Briggs production engines.
Because of the differences in measurements discovered with production changes, many engine builders were polled as to how to handle
the changes. We fielded questions and provided viable solutions to all.
Documentation and dialogue with Briggs was obtained and therefore
2011 was handled.
For 2012 there will be some significant changes to the Rulebook in
the area of 4 Cycle Tech. Changes submitted by the manufacturers in
the area of production have arrived and there are many tech issued to
contend with. The many hours of polling and discussion will help us
arrive at concise and clear rule updates. Schorn reads the 4 Cycle Committee requested rule changes. Discussion by Board. No action at this time. Shifter Tech – John Motley
Nothing to report. Nothing to change. Verlengiere asks about spec
shifter pipes – Motley says to submit to him.
Speedway Report - Bill Hilger, No Report
Road Race Report – Don Holmboe
State of Road Racing in IKF is dormant. The most active Region is in
Texas with SWRA but their participation is down also. All turnouts are
down and Clubs, such as Portland Karting, have cut back their number of races. The Texas economy is better than average thus a healthier
situation.
17
Cause: “It’s the ECONOMY" Less discretionary incomes coupled
with very high rental rates for prime RR tracks, equals falling participation.
Fix: Nothing in short term. RR Clubs/Promoters need to negotiate
tougher with track owners. There is some wiggle room on costs. Have
seen some give on rates for track in north central Oregon, Grass Valley.
Portland Int'l Raceway only fills 2/3 of the available track time. Clubs
need to change their mindset and start negotiating rates.
In Texas a new promoter is going to put on a 1.2 mile race in Dallas
next March. A street/road race. Might be a good example for the traditional Road Race Clubs to investigate.
TaG Committee – John Motley. No new engines. Strictly housekeeping
issues.
Sprint Committee – Art Verlengiere. No Report
Roger Miller discusses rule changes for 2012, states he has not
received anything from the Board. Hilger has verbiage to discuss tomorrow. Miller states there are Flags in all Sections of the Rulebook – Board
comments to leave in each Section.

but the weights were not right. Need to revisit and possibly adjust
the weights. Disparity between engines. Durbin wants to use SKUSA
weights. IKF has no data base. Discussion about engines and weights.
Motley reads weights, Seniors & Masters:
Rok TT – 375 & 405

IKF COMPETITOR BOBBY KELLEY WINS
SCOUTING COMBINE
December 1, 2011 - After a pair of on
track days, mock interviews, media appear-

(Photo: USF2000 National Championship - Tamy Valkosky)
ances and business training, International
Kart Federation standout Bobby Kelley has
been selected as the inaugural winner of the
Mazda Road to Indy Scouting Combine. For
his efforts, Kelley will have the opportunity
to compete in the Cooper Tires presents the
USF2000 National Championship powered
by Mazda races at the Honda Grand Prix of
St. Petersburg in March of 2012.
"I am at a loss for words," Kelley said.
"This is an amazing program to win, and I
can't wait to get on the track and show what I
can do. This is the first step to my formula car
career so we will use this opportunity and try
to move up the ladder. I was very surprised
to win with all of the great talent here this
week. I am very thankful to have won the
first Mazda Road to Indy Scouting Combine."
Over the pair of days, ten competitors
were asked to complete mock qualifying
runs, a mock race where they were to keep
fast, consistent race laps, and mock interviews in pit lane as soon as their sessions
were complete. Trying to provide the best
and most realistic experience possible, a
panel of four judges including motorsports
writer and commentator Jeremy Shaw,
Director of Mazda Motorsports-Mazda
North America Operations John Doonan,
Firestone Indy Lights driver Anders Krohn
and Director of Business Development for
Firestone Indy Lights Tony George, Jr., put
all the drivers through their paces.
Most noted for his experience and outstanding results on the western half of the
United States, Bobby Kelley has been a frontrunner in the International Kart Federation
program. As a multi-race winner and series
champion, Kelley will now take his skills to
the open-wheel community as he looks to
make his name known in St. Petersburg.
Kelley, who has claimed four regional
and two national titles in IKF competition
20
added, "I believe that the IKF series is probably one of the best series going in North
America. It is a series that I have used to
hone my skills and it definitely helped me
get to where I am today."
"Everyone at the IKF is very
happy for Bobby," expressed IKF
President Bill Hilger. "Bobby is a
bright young talent and this is the
break he needed. Anyone that has
seen him drive a kart knows that
he has a lot of talent. He is a wellspoken young man who should
perform very well. I hope he goes
to St. Pete and is able to make his
friends, families, sponsors, peers
as well as everyone involved in
the International Kart Federation proud."
eFormulaCarNews.com Interviews Mazda
Road to Indy Scouting Combine Winner
Bobby Kelley
—Courtesy eFormulaCarNews.com
IKF karter Bobby Kelley will take part
in the USF2000 doubleheader on the streets
of St. Petersburg in 2012 after winning the
Mazda Road to Indy Scouting Combine.
The inaugural Mazda Road to Indy
Scouting Combine recently took place at
Andersen RacePark in Florida with a talented group of karters battling for a two-race
scholarship in the Cooper Tires Presents the
USF2000 National
Championship
Powered by Mazda.
IKF karter Bobby
Kelley ultimately emerged as the winner,
and eFormulaCarNews.com had the chance
to speak to the Californian.
EFORMULACARNEWS.COM: Let's start
things off by the lead up to the Scouting
Combine in Florida. When and how did
you find out you would be taking part in
the Mazda Road to Indy Scouting Combine?
What were your initial thoughts about being
part of the inaugural grassroots program?
BOBBY KELLEY: I found out I would be taking part in the Mazda Road to Indy Scouting
Combine about a month ago. I was contacted by Art Verlinger of RLV and he informed
me that I had received this award through
the International Karting Federation. I was
very excited to be given this opportunity
and could not wait to get to Florida.
EFCN: Once you knew you would be traveling to Andersen RacePark in Florida to drive
an USF2000 car, what did you do to prepare
for the event?
KELLEY: The first thing I did to prepare for
the event at Andersen RacePark in Florida
was check out the track map. I studied the
layout over and over in my head to prepare
me mentally. I also put in a few gym days
here and there.
EFCN: Upon getting to Florida and seeing
the other karters you'd be going up against
what were your thoughts? Were you confident you could challenge for top honors?
KELLEY: Once I arrived in Florida and met
all of the other drivers, I knew this would be
a tough competition. The amount of talent
was huge, but I was confident that I could
be a contender for the top honors.
EFCN: The weather was less than ideal for
the opening day of the Scouting Combine,
with heavy rain limiting the on-track action?
Did you get a chance to sample the Van Diemen F2000 car in the tricky conditions, and
if so, how did it go?
KELLEY: With the heavy rain on the opening day of the Scouting Combine, I was only
able to get five laps in the F2000. I was fortunate for those five laps, and while I was out
there the rain just started to come down, so
I was barely affected by it. The five laps I got
was enough to give the Belardi Auto Racing
team and I enough data to show me what I
needed to work on for the next day.
EFCN: With virtually all the on-track action
rained out, the majority of the day was spent
doing activities outside of the car. How did
that go? Did you take the opportunity to
interact and learn from the USF2000 personnel and Indy Lights racer Anders Krohn
[who was one of the judges] while outside
of the cockpit?
KELLEY: Even though the first day of on
track action was cut short due to rain, it
was still a productive day. I definitely took
advantage of everyone around me. I spent
time with the Belardi team, learned more
about the USF2000 car, and I also interacted
with the driver coaches, Anders Krohn and
Gerardo Bonilla. The advice from the driver
coaches was very beneficial.EFCN: Day
two featured all the racers getting behind
the wheel via a qualifying style run and a
race run simulation. How did your on-track
sessions go? What was your impression of
the car, and what did you learn and work
on improving?
KELLEY: My on-track sessions on day two
went very well. The team gave me a few
things to work on, such as acceleration and
braking points. Gerardo Bonilla was a huge
help, and I can't thank him enough for all
of his coaching. The car was a blast to drive
and unlike anything I have experienced. I
learned so much throughout the weekend
and it was such a great experience.EFCN:
You also got the chance to take part in a
mock interview and attend a business of
motorsports seminar. How did you like the
interview, and what all did you learn from
the seminar?
KELLEY: I enjoyed the mock interview, as
it was something that will prepare me for
future interviews. I learned a lot of valuable
information from the business of motorsports
seminar, including many helpful tips that
will allow me to excel in my racing career.
EFCN: Ultimately you impressed the judges
with your performances in and out of the
cockpit to win the inaugural Scouting Combine. What do you think set you apart from
the rest of the talented racers on hand?
KELLEY: To win the inaugural Scouting
Combine is such a huge honor and I am
very proud to have received this opportunity. I believe what set me apart from all of
the other very talented racers on hand was
my on-track performance. I drove the car to
the best of my ability, and I drove fast, like I
always love to do.
EFCN: What does it mean to win the Mazda
Road to Indy scholarship for the Cooper
Tires Presents the USF2000 National Championship Powered by Mazda doubleheader
in St. Petersburg?
KELLEY: To win The Mazda Road to Indy
scholarship for the Cooper Tires Presents the
USF2000 National Championship Powered
by Mazda doubleheader in St. Petersburg
is a stepping stone in my racing career. I
have to thank everyone from Mazda Road
to Indy, Dan Andersen, everyone at Andersen RacePark, the Belardi Auto Racing team,
Anders Krohn and Gerardo Bonilla, and
everyone who put this program together for
giving all of the drivers and I this unique
experience.
EFCN: Now that you've won the ride for the
two street races in Florida, what are the next
steps in preparing for your series debut?
KELLEY: My next steps in preparing for my
series debut in the two street races in Florida
will be trying to get as much seat time as I
can in the USF2000 car.
EFCN: Finally, what are your goals for the
USF2000 doubleheader in St. Petersburg,
and the rest of 2012?
KELLEY: My goals for the USF2000 doubleheader in St. Petersburg will be to be
competitive and to make the podium. That
would be an outstanding way to begin my
open-wheel career. As of now, I am planning
on running the whole 2012 season in the
USF2000 series, and am looking for a team.
EFCN: Thanks very much for taking the time
to speak with EFCN. We look forward to covering you this coming spring in Florida.
