| WKA Adds Tire Tracking Sheet System to Cadet, Komet, and Yamaha Sportsman for MRP Manufacturers Cup Series |
| Article by: WKA PitBoard |
Following up on the Pit Board June 20 regarding the newest requirements of the Parilla Leopard class in the Mazda / Bridgestone Manufacturers Cup Series moving forward, WKA officials will be requiring similar information from competitors in the four classes that are required to run the same tires both competition days in a Man Cup racing weekend.
Starting with this weekend's MKP Nationals at Michiana Raceway Park in North Liberty, Indiana, competitors in the Yamaha Rookie Sportsman, Cadet, Komet Sportsman, and Yamaha Sportsman classes will be required to list the serial numbers on their tires on an entry sheet they will receive at registration. Once the sheet has been filled out, competitors in these four classes will be required to bring the sheet with them to the grid as they enter for time trials for their respective classes.
A select WKA Grid Steward will be on hand to collect the sheets, which will then be turned over to a WKA Tech Official. Drivers failing to submit their sheet upon entrance to the grid will be disallowed until paperwork has been submitted.
This process will replace the post qualifying ritual of branding tires for these classes. However, for competitors in other classes who wish to utilize the same tire both days, but are not required, the branding station will still be open.
Cockerham, Koontz lead Super Regional winners at Sandy Hook
The second Super Regional for the WKA Speedway Pavement Series found a slew of new faces in victory lane at the Sandy Hook Speedway in Street, Maryland.
Headlining the list of winners was Kevin Cockerham, a past regular on the Speedway Pavement National Series. Cockerham laid claim to 2 victories, taking the Senior Champ Flathead victory over Brad Hinkelman and Doug Hawkins.
For an encore performance, Cockerham strapped on his Animal motor, and thus took the Senior Champ Animal win as well. The victories cemented Cockerham in the record books as a guaranteed starter in both of these classes at the August 10-12 Grand National at the Chapel Hill Speedway in Great Valley, New York. However, he will once again have to fend off Hinkelman, who also plans to make the journey to the New York facility.
Dayne Koontz was also a dual winner over the weekend, taking the Sportsman 1 victory over Matthew Miller. Koontz later returned to score the win in the Sportsman 1 Champ class. Ryan Rost notched the top honors in the Sportsman 2 category while Josh Miller bested D.J. Powell in the Junior Stock.
In Stock Heavy action, Jason Ness held back the efforts of Ed Kirk, Mike Messina, Paul Headley, and Trevor Trost.
Zac Fowler was also on hand to take some competitive laps in his Kid Kart.
While the winners are guaranteed starters in their respective fields at Chapel Hill, many competitors in the respective Sandy Hook fields fully plan on making the trip to New York for an all out assault on the titles.
The next scheduled Pavement Divisional at Sandy Hook will be September 15. |
