Ron White Racing Shifter Masters Sunday
A victory sweep at CalSpeed for defending champion Kevin Woods (RWR / CRG) in the Ron White Racing Shifter Masters ROK class. Ryan Yop (Redspeed) came out of qualifying with fast time while Woods was second in the session. Yop led the first four laps until he was shuffled back to seventh. That triggered a great three-lap battle for the lead with Woods taking the position before Round One winner Michael Valiante (IM USA / Italkart) slip past. The following lap, Round Two victor Cliff Kujala (Pure / Tony Kart) grabbed control of the point and got away to cross the line first ahead of Valiante and Woods. Valiante grabbed the holeshot to lead the opening laps of the main event with Woods slotting into the second spot. On lap eight, Woods was able to challenge and take over the lead. From there, Woods never put a wheel wrong and drove away to a 2.7-sec- ond victory. Valiante drove to second with Kujala completing the podium. Adam White (GFC) held off Garrett McKelvie (GFC) in what was a great battle for the fourth position throughout the race.
