Back To Back Championships By Little Laz Mesa

[MESABALANCING]

Ok guys I know it's not boat racing but last season when my son won the championship in his karting class some of the oso guys told me to keep you posted . We moved up to Rotax Jr. class were the kids are older and the karts are faster this Summer season was our first season and yesterday he made it official by finishing third in the feature race and grabbing the points for the summer season so it's now official back to back championships at Homestead karting by the private teem with no manufacturer backing in a two year old outdated kart . We are going to try to get some sponsorship to purchase a new rolling frame and see if we can step it up with the Pro National Racers. Hope you guys enjoy sincerely Laz Mesa

Mark the engine is a water cooled 125cc rotax engine that makes around 18-22hp the tracks we run at we run anywhere from 55-75mph top speed and their weight is 320lbs car and driver we run a spec tire and fuel and a sealed engine. I build alot of spec Miata engines for customers down in Fl. and he wants to do some spec Miata racing in the next couple of years I've also got a cup car that I set up for driver and pass. and I want to do some club racing with him the car is almost finished and before the end of the year we'll run it someplace I think that will really get him going into the cars he may also be the next Pollo Topical throttle or driver you never can tell . SIncerely Laz

Mark, little Laz and his sister are a pair of kids that you dont see anywhere, polite, generous and respectfull. Jr. acknowledges all the wonderfull things that mom and pop do for him and that in todays world is a plus.
