Micro Sprint Racing

In 2017 a friend and myself wanted to do something different. We talked many times and after watching the micro sprint 270's and running them for a year we decided to move to the 600 micro sprints. Us knowing nothing about about the classes or setup on these machines, we decided lets do it anyways. My Friend Ethan found a deal on facebook with a gentlemen that was interested in selling or trading a factor 1 micro sprint for a Open 500 Kart. Ethan drove to OK to make the trade. During the same time, i found a full roller micro 600 on favebook in washington on the canadian border for $600.00. Ethans Father in-law and friend John drove there to pick it up for me and bring it back to Elko NV. It was only a rolling chasis so i still needed an engine. We found an engine in Idaho out of a stock R6 that had been wrecked. We both got started into the sport with no more than $2500.00 invested in our cars. We took them to the local track and the amount of spectators and other drivers that wanted to come see them was a great shock to us as there was a lot of interest on cost, speeds, setup ect. And just over a year later we became santioned with the Lucas Oil NOW600 winged A class. So far it has been a great experience and ride. Thank you all who has supported us as well as the friends we have made during this transition into the sport. We have approximately 10 local micros now and we just keep getting faster.

Who would have thought we would be sanctioned with Lucas Oil NOW600 a year later. Thank you Lucas Oil and Terry along with all our friends, Steve, Ron, Rod, John, Shayla, Ethan, Rick, Alexis, Hayley, And everyones buddy and pit crew member Hazen. Also thanks to all our supporters such as our wife, significant others and friends.
