The J3 Competition team will take part in the first round of the 2009 Stars of Karting ‘East’ event this weekend in Ocala, FL. Due to a hectic early schedule in the early part of 2009, J3 will only enter two drivers; Tristan DeGrand in KF 3 who is already a multiple winner in 2009 and across the tent from DeGrand will be KF 2 driver Shin Iguchi.

DeGrand and Iguchi will be aboard the already proven 2009 Kosmic Mercury chassis. The new Kosmic Mercury chassis is the advancement of the winning T-11 chassis with a winning 30mm frame structure. Powering their Kosmic Mercury chassis will be the Vortex RAV KF engine package.

With an ample amount of track time already in 2009, the team at J3 Competition will be vying for a strong start to the 2009 Stars of Karting championship. With a revised point structure in 2009 it will be even more crucial to maintain a strong level of consistency in order to capture the prize at the end of the year. J3 Competition’s focus will be heavily shifted toward the KF 2 and KF 3 categories with respect to the Stars of Karting series. With a great supply of engines and spare parts including Tillotson, JHC, and IBEA, J3 is fully committed to its trackside support for all KF customer’s during the 2009 season.

As the 2009 Stars of Karting season progresses look for the full team of J3 Competition Inc. to be in attendance beginning with the Race of Americas in New Castle, IN.
