Tuesday 31 Jan 2006: CART held its second Wheel-to-Wheel Karting event. In the first qualifying round, Gene DeRobertis set the pace with an 11.298 second fastest lap followed by Chris Fuhrman, who had an 11.465 second lap. Bob Purssell, in the second qualifying round led the pack with an 11.255 second fastest-lap followed by Gene DeRobertis (11.424) and Warren Elliot (11.475), respectively. Brendan Norton won the first points race handily by staying away from a series of close encounters of the karting kind. In the final race of the evening Bob Purssell was able to hold onto Gene DeRobertis' coat tails for a short while, but not for long. Flying away from the field, Gene won decisively with an average lap pace of 11.452 seconds.

A big welcome to Mark Cassidy, Chris Fuhrman and Jack Hall who came out for their first CART wheel-to-wheel race; and a special thank you to Joe Rathbun for acting as Event Scorer.

The next karting event is an Indoor Autocross, which will be held on Tuesday 7 Feb. 2006. The next Wheel-to-Wheel Race is scheduled for Tuesday 14 Feb. 2006.
