5 Blake Dunkleberger Simi Valley CA Gatorz Karting Cup 1040

I started racing in 2006 when I was about 10 years old.  In 2008 I ran my first mini max season and finished 2nd in the season championship. I finished in the top 3 in 5 of the 8 races on the Gatorz tour. In 2009 my goal was to win races and go to the nationals. I won 3 races this year in Gatorz tour and won the season championship. The nationals we had a really good kart and were top 5 all weekend. The final didn’t go to well though as I was hit from behind on the first corner, but I learn a lot from competing at the nationals. It was a really great season for me. I am glad I did so well and got to participate in the Rotax series. I would like to thank Premier Motorsports and my family.
