Logan Ferguson (BirelART) had a weekend he may never forget during round two of the MotoMaster Ron Fellows Karting Championship at the Canadian Mini Indy.
On Saturday, Ferguson battled to score not only his first podium in regional karting competition but his first race win as well. In addition, throughout the entire weekend of competition, he never ranked lower than second place, posting two pole-positions, winning both Pre-Finals and finishing second in the Sunday Final. He was also awarded the Pfaff High Performer award on Saturday.
Not to be left out, his fellow Prime Powerteam teammate, Logan Pacza, also enjoyed a great weekend of racing. Pacza secured the race win on Sunday after a great last-lap battle with Ferguson, and he too never ranked lower than second all weekend, always right on the bumper of Ferguson.
In both Finals the teammates worked together early in the race to break free from their competition. Just like at the CKN Dash for Cash, they rarely exchanged the lead and if they did, it was on the main straight to ensure no speed was lost, waiting until the final laps to settle the finishing order.
Saturday’s race saw Ferguson execute a perfect pass in corner four, diving up in the inside and forcing Pacza to lift before turning in. It allowed Ferguson to have enough rolling speed on exit to pull ahead enough that he didn’t need to defend in the final corners before taking the checkered flag.
On Sunday, Pacza learned from the experience the previous day. He gained the lead with four laps to go and never relinquished it from there. He defended the final lap perfectly and ensured Ferguson didn’t have a perfect score for the weekend.
Steven Navratil (Awesome Kart) just narrowly edged out Daniel Ali (Kosmic) and Jordan West (BirelART) for the third step of the podium on Saturday, while West returned the favour on Sunday to complete a Prime podium sweep.
