DREEZEN EARNS SKUSA S1 CHAMPIONSHIP

LAS VEGAS, NV.  The final round of the FIKSE SKUSA Pro Tour came to a close in Nevada at the Las Vegas convention centre where PSL would earn top honours in S1 and TAG Senior.

With the new venue and new track in place at the West Gate hotel in Las Vegas, a new challenge was presented to the entire paddock. Factory Birel ART pilot, Jordon Lennox-Lamb (Factory IAME), took this challenge with ease, taking pole and winning all 3 heats in the top shifter category, KZ2.   In the finale, an engine issue would force Jordon to retire on lap 8.

Factory Ricciardo Kart driver, Rick Dreezen (Swedetech) entered the final round of Pro-Tour leading the championship, defending the title for PSL Karting.  Rick was on point this entire season aboard his DR-01-KZ, closing the championship up Saturday in heat 3.  A very successful weekend for Ricciardo Kart and the entire team.

TAG Senior, Birel ART/PSL Karting driver, Oliver Askew (Sargeant Power), battled in the heats for top position, however contact with barriers and unavoidable accidents, due to the nature of the street circuit, prevented further promotion throughout the weekend.  Oliver would start P20 in the final and eventually find his way to the top 15.  Askew would also claim P3 overall in the Tag Senior Championship.

Michael Patrizi (Australia Ricciardo & Birel ART Importer), of Patrizi Corse put up the best S4 (Masters Shifter) performance under the tent earning P8 in the final.
Thomas Neubauer (Swedetech) would qualify P3 in S2, and run top 3 in almost all three heats.  In the final, luck would not run on his side and would be forced to retire.

"This weekend was an especially strong one for PSL and Birel ART under the lights in Las Vegas", explained PSL Karting Team Manager, Andrew Campbell.  "We wanted to show North America that Birel ART is capable of competing on all track conditions, and for 2015 we have accomplished that task"

"I'd like to thank all our clients, partners and drivers for the past year of success, and wish you all a happy holiday off-season".
