Race Sport Karting's Stock Moto duo of Jim Machul and Butch Lander are currently first and second in the Championship points after rounds one and two. Round one was held at the newly updated Orlando Kart track and under bitterly cold conditions. The Saturday top podium spot went to Butch as Jim suffered mechanical problems in the final. Practice was delayed on Sunday morning briefly as ice had to be cleared from the track. Once the racing started it was all Jim capturing the pole, prefinal and final wins.

Round two was held at the PBIR track. On Saturday once again it was all Race Sport Karting as owner Butch Lander qualified on pole with Jim Machul second. Both the perfinal and finals were dominated by Jim as Butch had a hard fought battle for the second spot only to fall to third at the finish line. Sunday was once again all about Jim qualifying in the pole position and never looking back for the prefinal and final. Butch had second closed up until a final lap pass attempt resulted in contact and a penalty placing him in third.

As one of the only supporters of the Moto shifter classes in Florida, Race Sport Karting's involvement was apparent as we lent assistance and supplied parts to each of the competitors in the Stock Moto class during this weekend.
