Fantastic First Round For Texas Mini Cup
The first round of the Texas Mini Cup was held on Saturday, April 26, at the KartMoto track in Cresson, Texas. Perfect weather graced the venue for a great day of racing. Morning practice and qualifying brought fast lap times from good sized grids. The 6 lap sprint races ran before lunch, with 10 lap GP races finishing out the afternoon. New Racers School also graduated 7 new racers this weekend that gridded up for the first time, and Sky Perspective Media provided drone footage of the event!
The racing was very entertaining, with the MotoAmerica Mission Mini Cup qualifier classes Stock 50 MA, Stock 110 MA, Flo4law GP 110 MA, KYT Helmets GP 160 MA, Fuller Family Racing GP 190 MA, Street GP MA, and 7 additional support classes bringing 58 entries to the .76 mile, 10 turn course. Maverick Johnson (#163) and Maverick Nichols (#3) were the standouts in the Mini Cup Qualifiers, with Johnson taking 3 wins in GP 110 MA, GP 160 MA, GP 190 MA and Nichols taking 2nd in GP 110 MA and GP 160 MA.
In the supporting classes, close competition continued, with Kellan Funkhouser (#279) taking the wins in Super and Unlimited Mini, Aiden Sneed (#613) taking both wins in GP 250, and Rossi Garcia (#30) grabbing a podium finish in 400 Superstock.
The largest class of the weekend was 450 Supermoto, rounding out the day of action packed racing. 2-time Italian Supermoto Champion Matteo Traversa (#101) took both wins, with Chase Black (#14) and David Roth Jr (#181) taking two podiums each.
