February 27th/28th was the date for the 3rd and 4th round of the Gatorz Challenge Of the Americas series. Due to severe weather forecasts for round 1 and 2 in Phoenix, AZ we decided to cancel the first rounds, meaning that round 3 and 4 at CalSpeed Karting Center in Fontana, CA would be our opening races for the 2010 season.

For 2010 Viking Racing will expand its activities; in addition to the Jim Russell NorCal Rotax Series we plan to participate in the Challenge Of the Americas as well as the Rotax National Championship, New Castle Indiana. The overall goal is to finish the Challenge Of Americas in top 5, the local Rotax Challenge in top 3 and the US Nationals in Top 10.

For 2010 we are proud to announce that have signed with 3 sponsors, where 2 are new. Asetek Inc. has renewed its sponsorship, and in addition we have signed with Corsair Memory as well as Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, LLP.

Sunday November 8th was the day for the tenth and last race in the 2009 Jim Russell Northern California Rotax Challenge this time returning to the high speed and challenging Dixon track. As it was run in reverse direction, it was the sixth new track configuration we had to learn this year. We arrived on the track Friday hoping we could get some practice on the track Friday night but literally as we got our canapé up and the kart rolled out of the trailer it started to rain. Since there are no rain races at Dixon, practicing in the rain did not really make sense, so we had to do with Saturday practice like everyone else. Sunday morning at race day the weather was sunny - perfect and warm for the season.
