PR: REM Claims Two Titles in ECKC Finale

With championships on the line Racing Edge Motorsports drivers delivered this past weekend, bringing home two titles and multiple championship podiums at the Eastern Canadian Karting Championship finale at Mosport Kartways.

Coming into this weekend Corey Walsh and Scott Jefferies were both in the Briggs & Stratton Masters championship hunt with Walsh leading the way and Jefferies in third. Walsh finished third in Saturday’s final after a great battle for the lead. Jefferies finished sixth which ultimately took him out of the title race. Sunday both drivers stayed out of trouble giving Walsh the title and Jefferies third in the standings. Rob Jefferies had a good run on Saturday finishing in the top ten but couldn’t back up that result on Sunday after retiring in the opening laps of the final.

“All in all it was a great weekend for the REM team. I would like to congratulate all drivers under the tent for a great ECKC Season, especially Corey and Gab for bringing REM its first ECKC championships. With the pace our drivers have right now, I believe we will have a great chance to win in all classes at the ASN Canadian National Championships next month.” Kevin Monteith – REM Team Manager

In Briggs & Stratton Junior, Gabriel Savoie came out of the weekend with the Championship after having four podium finishes including one win. William Chayer finished the Championship in third after bad luck during the season kept him out of the title race. Both drivers showed great speed and have developed into two of the best drivers in the field since joining REM.
