The So Cal Oval Karters staged round #2 of their championship season last Saturday night at John Aden’s Wheel 2 Wheel Raceway on the San Bernardino County Fairgrounds in Victorville.  A fine field of 31 karters showed up for the action on the longtime High Desert 1/8 of a mile banked dirt oval.

The KT100 class had a nice field of 13 karts on hand on Saturday.  Cherry Valley resident Troy Patton showed the other 12 KT100 racers the quick way around the track for his first win in the class in the 20 lap main event.  Jim Locy, the 2012 division champ from Santa Monica, placed second in the main with Oxnard’s Rob Marion, Tyler Wilson of Long Beach and season opening main event winner Rev Parker rounding out the top five.  For Marion, it was his second top three finish in two outings in 2015.

Laverne’s Jason Morheiser, who won both heats at the Perris Raceway at the season opener two weeks earlier, came home first on Saturday in the F200 class.  He bested Perris winner Matt Drotz of Long Beach for his first main event win of 2014.  Fresh off a second at his local Perris track in the season opener, Lake Elsinore’s Troy McIntosh was third.  Banning’s Scott Gaynor and Steve Juillerat of Whittier were fourth and fifth.

Bonita’s Matt Martis is two for two on the year in the SR 4 Cycle class.  Martis second 20-lap win places him on top of the points heap when the series heads back to the Perris Raceway on April 25^th.  This time Martis had two different faces behind him in second and third.  Riverside’s Garrett Schill claimed second with Aubrey Oppelt of Lake Elsinore third.  Jason Voss was fourth with Banning’s Desiree Gaynor, who placed second at the first race in Perris, fifth.

Multi dirt kart champ Chris Gibb of Long Beach won the Open Class ahead of Camarillo’s Cody Nigh.  For Night, it was his second straight runnerup finish.  Menifee’s Don Amigliore, who finished second in the 2014 point standings was third, with Chad Griggs fourth.  2014 champ Steve Patton of Cherry Valley claimed fifth.

The next race for the So Cal Oval Karters will be at the Perris Raceway on April 25^th.  This Saturday, April 18^th, club officials will be at the World of Outlaws race at Perris Auto Speedway displaying karts and advertising the “Arrive & Drive” program for new karters at the following week’s Perris race.
