SUTTON, ONTARIO Holgate Motorsports had a busy weekend with the Sunoco
Ron Fellows Karting Championship presented by Toronto Star Wheels at Sutton, Ontario, and the Ontario Pro Challenge series opener at Flamboro Speedway on Saturday night.
Friday saw both Brad LeLiever and Matt Stovold immediately on the pace in the practice sessions for the Rotax Max class in the SRFKC. "We have them both going quite well," said team manager John Holgate.
With the speed in practice both drivers were looking for good qualifying efforts. Stovold slotted in seventh in the 39 kart field with a time of 37.232, just four tenths of a second off the pole. LeLiever was right behind his teammate in eighth, with a time of 37.240.
In the 30-lap final, LeLiever was on a charge as he methodically made his way to the front. LeLiever recorded the third fastest time in the race, and was up to fourth place when the checkered flag fell. "I could have used a few more laps, as I could see the drivers ahead of me slowing down," LeLiever said. "My Holgate Motorsports CMP was getting better each lap, I just ran out of time."
Stovold also had a good run to finish eighth, and that gave both drivers a much needed boost in the points. Both drivers now have a few weeks off before heading to their home race, the Cameron Motorsports Grand Prix of Barrie on June 24-26.
