From everyone at Ledson Motorsports, have a safe and happy holidays as we all look forward to the 2010 racing season!

Ledson Motorsports will kick off the 2010 season in sunny West Palm Beach Florida for the second round of the Florida Winter Tour. Nick will be contesting in the ultra-competitive Rotax Max Junior class.

This past weekend Ledson Motorsports team driver, Cole Smith-Ledson brought home the 2009 Simcoe Kart Club Novice Championship. Capping off the season in Sutton with two stellar victories, Cole drove away from his competition to seal the first championship of his short karting career.

Also racing at Sutton, Nick navigated his way to second overall in the Jr. Light class. Steadily showing strong results week-in week-out, Nick came up just short of the title, but also ended his year with a win in the Jr. Heavy class. Moving up a class for the final race of the year, Nick took no abuse on track and scored the victory to end the year on a high note.

The team is now into overdrive as they finish up the final events of the season. After competing in the Rocket Robbie Enduro in Sutton, the Oktoberfest Grand Prix in Flamboro and the Ultimate Karting Championship enduro in Leamington, the team will begin to prepare for next season.

This past weekend the Ledson Motorsports Team travelled to Flamboro Speedway for race four of the Brian Stewart Racing Karting Championship. After beautiful skies allowed for many practice sessions on Friday, a wild thunderstorm halted competition on Saturday morning. After the large amount of water was pumped away from the racing surface, racing resumed on track. In Mini-Max action, Nick placed his kart on the pole position. Due to the weather delay, race officials called off the pre-finals and Nick lined up first for the main event. From the drop of the green flag Nick was in cruise control and drove to his first BSRKC win of the year. In Jr. Medium, Nick wasn't as lucky as he could only manage a seventh place finish.

On Sunday the sun came back out and a full schedule was lined up for all classes. In qualifying, Nick positioned himself in the top ten in Jr. Light with the largest class of year thus far. Keeping his nose clean in both the pre-final and final, he would cross the finish line in 6th place. In Novice action, Cole showed steady improvement in each session on track and finished the day with a solid 7th place finish in Novice, the largest class of the day.
