Nick Neri Scores Two Wins And Four Podiums At Wka Manufacturer’s Cup
“Great start to 2010 title chase”
January 2, 2010 – Tony Kart and Ocala Gran Prix (OGP) driver Nick Neri scored four podiums including two victories at the opening round of the 2010 World Karting Association (WKA) Manufacturer’s Cup at Daytona International Speedway. Competing in four junior classes, Neri overcame disappointing finishes in Saturday’s prefinals to salvage two podium results but dominated the Komet Piston Port Junior Lite and Yamaha Junior Heavy classes on Sunday to take the double win.
After qualifying in the top ten for both the Komet Piston Port Junior Heavy and Yamaha Junior Lite classes, Neri had some tough luck in the prefinals. A turn one incident in the Yamaha division set up an 18th place finish and an outside ninth row starting spot for the main event.
After a strong run in the Komet Piston Port Junior Heavy class, where he claimed a second place result, Neri was set for the challenge in the Yamaha class. With a great start and opening lap, Neri quickly moved forward and was in the top ten very early in the race. Looking to gain as many positions as possible and score valuable championship points, Neri dominated the field as he scored the fastest race lap on his way to finishing a solid fourth. (more…)
