The Agnelli Cup is a 3 day, 6 race, go kart series held at the Dallas Karting Complex.

Cost to participate: $15.00 fee (goes towards buying trophies)

You can join at any point during the series, however, you will not earn points towards the Cup until you pay the $15.00 fee.

SCORING:

FIRST RACE OF THE DAY:

1st - 15 points

2nd - 12

3rd - 9

4th - 6

5th - 3

SECOND RACE OF THE DAY:

1st: 5 points

2nd: 4

3rd: 3

4th: 2

5th: 1

We set the scoring this way to make the series as affordable as possible to all entrants. With this system a fast driver who can't afford 6 races will still be competitive for an award.

Dallas Karting Complex has two .75 mile long tracks and modern go karts capable of 50+ mph speeds. You can definitely spin out. Ask me how I know.

Go Kart Costs:

$30.00/race

$5 kart maintenance fee - covers all races you run day

$4 head sock fee - does not apply if you bring your own helmet. You get to keep the head sock so bring it to the other Agnelli Cup days and you won't have to pay the fee again.

RACE DATES:

Saturday, May 23rd (2 races)

Saturday, Aug 29th (2 races)

Saturday, Nov 7th (2 races)

There will most likely be non-chapter drivers in each heat. Our scores will be based solely on chapter members place relative to other chapter members. The scoring is based on FASTEST LAP during your 10 minute heat.

Trophies will be presented on Nov 7th. If you have to skip that day and still win an award, don't worry - we will get it to you!

AGNELLI CUP STANDINGS, DAY 1

Day 1 results are in!

Here are the standings in the Agnelli Cup after the first day of racing:

Jesus Robles: 20 points

Jeriel Robles: 16 points

Daniel Evans: 12 points

Taz: 8 points

Ko: 4 points

We all finished in the same order both races. Jesus was clearly the fastest driver; however, positions farther back in the field were sometimes quite close; some with under 1 second separation.

If you missed day 1 of racing, it isn't too late to join the series! We have 2 days and 4 races to go. All trophies are still up for grabs!

Speaking of trophies, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th place trophies are shown in the pics below. I don't have the placards for them yet, but they will all be ready long before we run our last race. The 1st place trophy is a cup on top of a 3 pole pedestal.

All you need to do to qualify for the remainder of our races is to Venmo Taz $15.00 (id: @Michael-Brenner-70) or give it to him in person before the next set of races on August 29nd.

NOTE: In August, due to the heat, we will hit the Dallas Karting Complex at 9:30AM so we are ready to go inside when they open at 10AM. We will probably plan a lunch stop somewhere nearby after racing.

Placards will be added soon. The 1st place trophy is a cup sitting on a pedestal held up by 3 blue poles.

THE AGNELLI CUP, DAY 2

In order to avoid the summer Texas heat, we arrived early at the track and were ready to race right when they opened up at 10AM.

We raced on the same track as last time, but we went clockwise today. Last time we ran counterclockwise. They added a chicane delineated by tire walls halfway down one the of fairly straight sections, so the course was a bit more techincal than last time. Mostly, it seemed to bunch up traffic, so one of the keys to a fast lap was arriving at the chicane with a clear track ahead of you.

HEAT 1:

1st: Jesus Robles 15 pts

2nd: Jeriel Robles 12 pts

3rd: Daniel Evans 9 pts

4th: Taz 6 pts

5th: Ko 3 pts

Everyone put down faster times in Heat 2 and, for the first time in the series, the finishing order changed a bit. Jesus and Jeriel were not only the fastest 2 in our group, but took 1st and 2nd in the race overall! Miraculously, I managed to slip by Dan for 3rd. A newcomer to the series, Tim (home on leave while he moves from Yakota AB in Japan to Travis AFB in California) edged out Ko for 5th.

HEAT 2:

1st: Jesus Robles 5 pts

2nd: Jeriel Robles 4pts

3rd: Taz 3 pts

4th: Daniel Evans 2 pts

5th: Timothy Menz 1 pt

-------------------------------------------------

POINT STANDINGS, SERIES

Jesus Robles 40 pts

Jeriel Robles 32 pts

Daniel Evans 23 pts

Taz 17 pts

Ko 7 pts

Timothy Menz 1 pt

------------------------------------------------

We have 1 day left featuring 2 more races. Agnelli Cup, Day 3 will occur on November 14th at the Dallas Karting Complex. There is still time to join the series. Someone joining for the last day of karting could still place 4th or 5th overall and claim a trophy. With 20 points possible max on the final day, Jesus, Jeriel, or Dan could claim the top spot for the series.

If you would like to join the fun for the last day, let me know. There is a $15 fee to compete for trophies. If you want to come and race but not compete for Agnelli Cup points, you just have to pay the normal kart and track fees.
