Race Report: Break out the Brooms

Dacusville, SC – February 15, 2020 – By Gray Sutherland

Aroneck & Company sweep through Clone Classes as Bridgeman and Phillips take two each

There was nothing ironic about last Saturday at Foothills as it was business as usual for Cameron Aroneck and his team as they fielded three karts to go race at the Superbowl of the Upstate. With the Winter Series now into its second half, points battles are becoming clearer as to who has the edge. Close to 50 entries and 30 drivers made their way out on a wonderful Saturday afternoon post Valentines Day. At intermission for the day of love, a rose raffle was held with Lee Polatty, Angela Griffith, and Dominique Rapien winning.

Quick Hits

As previously mentioned it was a hugely successful day for the #37 crew. Dominique Rapien got things underway in Clone 375 with the win in the #37 over Billy Adams and Jason Snodgrass. Clone 350 was the show of the day with Rapien battling with team kart piloted by Cameron Aroneck. Rapien slid back one more spot and finished third with Jason Snodgrass in second. Lastly in Clone 325, Aroneck drove away from Halston Stroud and Corey Fassett to complete the team sweep of Clone.

Over on the Predator side Ricky Bridgeman swept up Predator 350 and 375 claiming both over Bradley Gillespie who finished second. Gillespie did grab a win in Predator 325 over Billy Dodgens. David Phillips continued his hot streak by doubling up with Flathead and an Out of the Box 325 win with Taylor Polatty in second and Jackie Williams third. Complete results will be listed below.

After all main events were completed and the victory lane celebrations had begun, Dominique Rapien, who had won roses and Clone 375 by this point, pulled quite the unique Prom Proposal to Cameron Aroneck.
