Following another engine failure, just occurred on Sunday, April 8th in preparation for this Saturday’s race, the 2003 Tri-C Senior Sportsman World Champion remains optimistic and confident of a strong show on Saturday.

“Of course I was not pleased to see that and I was obviously concerned for the upcoming race, but Pherrari always has a contingent plan and we are actually ready to go. We were not scheduled to, but made an exception for a last minute special test session that took place yesterday and my new engine is just fine. I have not lost any power, the kart is very strong and I am very confident for Round 3.”

Despite Kirkpatrick’s confident, experts are not totally convinced yet that Pherrari has what it takes to win the race on Saturday. Unconfirmed reports suggest that Pherrari will have to be conservative on Saturday and focus on getting crucial points, rather than a win. It is expected that Pherrari will be forced to put a rev limit on Kirkpatrick’s engine.
