Ka100 Engine Builders

[Nguyet Edmondson]

Stayingahead of the curve in karting is difficult but California based P1 Engines is doing just that. Focusing on the 100cc market, which is making a major push to return to the top of the karting food chain, P1 Engines has been producing race winning IAME KA100 packages alongside their X30 powerplants.

This past weekend, Milrock Motorsports, which has been a long supporter of the P1 Engines program, gave P1 the opportunity to showcase KA and X30 power at the Route 66 Sprint Series. With only a select few drivers, the P1 Engines power and development work proved to be on pace, and ahead, of rival engine builders.

Stephen Dial started the weekend showing great race pace and qualifying on the front row for both days of wheel-to-wheel competition. Once the green flag flew and the racing action commenced, Dial never looked back taking both heat race wins along with the two main event victories en route to the fastest lap of the event.

Along with winning back east, P1 Engines was also on track in central California taking on the International Kart Federation (IKF) Grand Nationals where the KA100 Senior class has exploded onto the scene and had a field of more than twenty with their eyes on the prize, the triple crown 10K to win.

PKS Owner Glenn Araki had a pair of drivers throw their hat into the mix last minute and P1 Engines went to work on preparing the best engine packages possible. Colby Dubato entered the KA100 Senior ranks while junior frontrunner Oliver Calvo would fight for the win in KA100 Junior.
