In preparation for the upcoming SOK event at Infineon Raceway, J3 Competition took part in the Pro Kart (NorCal) event with driver Alessandra Madrigal.

The team began its on-track activities with Thursday testing, which lead into Friday’s offical practice day. At the conclusion of these two days the team prepared its equipment for a tough battle in both TaG Jr. and HPV Jr.

During the event the team for the first time utilized the new 25mm specified header for the TaG Jr. category. After ample testing the team felt comfortable moving into Saturday’s qualifications. During qualifying Alessandra secured a solid fourth place effort, which was even more remarkable due the fact that she did her time without the draft as the 1-3 competitiors did. The heat race saw an excellent progression as Madrigal would finish in second place. Before the final the team went to work in order to give the young driver a better solution to challenge for the win. What the team delivered in terms of setup was perfect and Alessandra drove an impressive race as she set the fastest race time by over two tenths of a second. At the checkered flag Alessandra would be classified second, which had it not been for a couple lap Karts – the finish would have most likely been much different.

Completing the weekend was the HPV 2 entry. Mainly for the prupose of understanding and getting additional tack time, Alessandra drove as equally impressive in this category. Unfortunately the result was not as impressive as TaG Jr, however, the knowledge and expereince gained was equally as valuable as Alessandra recorded another top five finish in fourth.

Alessandra will be competiting with J3 Competition this weekend at the Stars of Karitng event in the KF 3 and National Jr. Categories.

“We are very pleased with the information and experience’s we gained this past weekend at Infineon. Alessandra proved to be in great form and the team is operating in a very efficient and effective manner, which will carry over into our next event at Infineon.”
