Arie Zimmermann took his first podium of the year
last night in race #6 of the Las Vegas Kart Club by finishing
in 3rd spot. Arie qualified 5th for the pre-main and moved up
to 4th position at the start never to relinquish that spot. Arie
started 4th for the main and made another good start to run side
by side with Chris Trickle into turn one. On lap three Arie made
his move for third, which he kept for the remainder of the race.
Arie did not crack under pressure as Trickle was all over his
rear bumper and at time bumping Arie. “After the checkered flag
I started to cry because I was happy.” Said an elated young Zimmermann
as his Dad pushed his kart onto the scales for post-tech. Arie
drove his best race ever, not just because of his 3rd place, but
because he made a great pass and did not crack from the pressure.
And most of all Arie had a BLAST!
