From the 27th of July till the 1th of August, there was an indoor kart championship in Phoenix - Arizona, USA. This championship isn't just "another championship". No, it's a race between the best pilotes (indoor karting people) in the whole world. 5 Belgians took a flight to the USA and tried to win the cup!
- Gregory Laporte
- Kenny Geldhof
- Mats de Jong
- Robin Borremans
- Mathias Grooten
Unfortunately, taking a flight to USA is rather expensive, so we had to follow up everything by internet. There was a (forum)thread on kartgrid.be. Our Belgian drivers reported every night what they did, what were the standings, the condition of the karts, etc, etc, ... You can read the full story here: http://www.kartgrid.be/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=6029
I'm not gonna post the whole story here again. The important thing is: in the final race, a Belgian - Kenny Geldhof -, was the first to see the checkered flag! After Mathias Grooten, winning the IKWC trophy in 2008, Kenny Geldhof is the second Belgian racer winning this cup (the cup is organized since 2005).
The results (top 10 IKWC 2010):
1 Kenny Geldhof BEL 191 2 Ruben Boutens NED 187 3 Mathias Grooten BEL 180 4 Mats de Jong BEL 179,5 5 Miles Calvin USA 179 6 Aaron Downs USA 177 7 Robin Borremans BEL 173 8 Jon Kimbrell USA 173 9 Gregory Laporte BEL 172 10 Logan Calvin USA 165
The podium:
Congratz to Kenny !!!
