3 takeaways from the Stars and Stripes Trophy

I've returned home from a weekend in one of the most beautiful states in the Union: Utah. I had the pleasure to witness the very first event put on by the well-known J3 Competition organization, now the northern distributor for Rotax in the United States. The event ran on schedule and you could tell the staff was prepared and ready.

Stars and Stripes Trophy: Norberg, Pierson, Adams lead the way on Sunday

To the delight of everyone, the rain held off on Sunday for the final day of the 2019 Rotax MAX Stars and Stripes Trophy in Utah's Toelle Valley, west of Salt Lake City. Although high winds showed up for the first time all weekend, the paddock laid witness to numerous battles in the dry for the coveted Rotax MAX Grand Finals and International Trophy tickets.

Stars and Stripes Trophy: Qualifying and heat racing in the books in Utah

Overnight rains gave Rotax MAX Stars and Stripes competitors a damp track to start the day on Saturday. Qualifying took place entirely on the MOJO W3 rain tires and that brought some mixed results in the standings with new names entering the fold. However, the track would return to dry conditions for the remainder of the day as drivers were back on the D2 and D5 compounds for heat racing.

2019 Stars and Stripes Trophy: What to watch for

It's a pivotal year for Rotax karting in the United States. I imagine if we're a few years down the road and Rotax has made strides in gaining market share it had lost, we're likely going to look to 2019 as the year things turned for the historic karting platform.

2019 Stars and Stripes Trophy Event Primer

Karting is an ever-changing sport, always in pursuit of better, faster, and (hopefully) less expensive parts, chassis, and engines.
