Having 7 wins & 1 second place finish, Ronnie locked up his 1st Championship with the 

NEPA Region SCCA.

This is his 4th SCCA Solo Regional championship, 3 with Philly & 1 with NEPA.

Ronnie took the win Saturday & Sunday at Pocono Raceway. With the need to run the higher speeds at Pocono Raceway. I put the smallest gear we have on the rear (64 tooth). By doing so I had to move the motor over 4 inches forward. That took weight off the right rear tire making his kart loose as a goose. He took out some cones on a few runs, but got a handle on it & laid down some good times.

His best run from Saturday. https://youtu.be/PIF-8HvcChc
