Modified Tuner Shootout - Final Results

Everybody loves racing karts, so when you get a bunch of the nation's fastest tuner cars and crews together it just made sense to spend Friday night enjoying a little friendly competition at the Bondurant SuperKart School.

The scale and professionalism of the Bondurant karting facilities go way beyond what you'd normally find at a kart track. This karting complex was actually conceived of by Bob Bondurant after a conversation with Formula 1 champ Michael Schumacher at Ferrari's 50th anniversary shindig. Schumacher explained to Bob that shifter karts are the closest thing to a Formula 1 race car in terms of acceleration, braking, steering and cornering power, so after visiting several karting facilities in Europe, Bob decided to add the Karting Complex to his already well-established Bondurant High Performance Driving School at Firebird Raceway.

The SuperKart School was opened in 1998 with three dedicated tracks and a full fleet of shifter karts, TAG karts and Briggs & Stratton pro karts. For the purposes of our little Shootout gathering, we were set loose on the half-mile Briggs & Stratton course using its pro karts. The Shootout drivers and crew all had a blast mixing it up out on this pro-quality course featuring a big-banked turn 1 and plenty of other challenging corner complexes the rest of the way around.

If you're looking to get into karting or just want some of the best high-performance driving instruction available anywhere on the planet, we know from experience that you'll be blown away by the quality of instruction and quality of the facilities and equipment at the Bob Bondurant Schools at Firebird Raceway.
