May 01, 2010 - TEAM ALUMINOS & DYER CONTINUES WINNING WAYS AT PROKART CHALLENGE NORTH RACE #3

 

Dyer, Smith and Fraser put Aluminos on the top step of the podium in Sonoma

SONOMA, CA (May 1, 2010) – The 2010 season continues to be a successful journey for Team Aluminos. The hard work put in by the staff and drivers have equated to strong results on-track. This past weekend (May 1), Team Aluminos shined once again at the Jim Russell International Karting Center for the third round of the Superkarts! USA ProKart Challenge North program. Team driver coach Tom Dyer made his 2010 S1 debut with a victory, while teammates Jeff Smith extended his win streak to three in the S4 class and TaG Senior pilot Larry Fraser scored his second win of the season giving Aluminos three wins on the event.

Dyer entered the event piloting the new Mirage KZ chassis (miragekart.com), competing with it to help develop a baseline setup for Aluminos operation. The two time SKUSA SuperNationals Stock Moto champion opened up the event with a third place performance in the morning qualifying session, just two-tenths off the pole-sitter. Wasting no time and signaling his intentions for the day, Dyer got a great launch from inside of row two taking the lead from the start and going unchallenged for the win in heat one. Dyer again grabbed the holeshot to begin heat two. On this 8-lap run, he would find pressure from behind and by lap six, Dyer had relinquished the lead and finishing second. Looking forward to the main event after a couple small adjustments, Dyer launched off the line quickly from his second place starting spot to take the lead. With a series of quick opening laps, Dyer jumped out and established a sizable lead. Hitting his marks and putting down consistent lap times over the 20-lap event, Dyer took the victory by over 4-seconds unchallenged.
