My-Kart Race Series : 17 Jan 09

The first My-Kart Race Series of the 2009 season started on 17th January 2009 at Shah Alam Stadium Kart Circuit early in the morning. The race actually consisted of 2 qualifying and 1 final. Kenny Hwang (Zoggee) and Stephen Kok (Stevo) raced in the K2 category (100cc).

Kenny and Stephen who raced in the K2 category with the 100cc karts being new engines had some initial technical issues but that was sorted out quickily and they qualified 11th and 9th respectively. At the finals, Stephen raced to the finishing line and picked up 9th position while Zoggee took 14th. Both Kenny and Stephen will be making a bigger impression in the coming 2nd race of the season in February.
