Emory is a kart racer who races in the KA 100 Senior class

Had a great end to my 2023 down in Daytona. Had the opportunity to race in my first-ever road race and managed to win on the high banks in race 2 against 25 other KA’s. The other two races that we did weren’t quite as good but we were highly competitive despite me having no prior experience in this type of racing.

Thanks to Mike Griffith for the help and support and Smoker Performance for the best gears in the game.

2023 was a return to form for me in the kart, and I’m excited to build on it in 2024👀

Solid weekend at New Castle for round two of Stars Championship Series. Put it P2/57 in qualifying, finished 3rd in 4th in the heats, dropped to 8th in the prefinal, and finally finished it off with a 5th in the final.

Happy to be back with the Josh Hotz Driver Development boys as we showed a lot of pace all weekend. Just need to tweak a couple of things on my end but certainly excited for what’s next. Congrats to on a well-deserved podium as well.

Back to the media game this weekend at SKUSA Utah 🫡

A little bit late posting this due to everything over the last week but rounds 3/4 of the GoPro Motorplex Karting Challenge went pretty well. After picking up a new layout I was able to fight for a win and ended up 3rd in a field of 31 for race one. Race two didn’t go great, as I got taken out from 6th in the pre-final and had to fight from 26th-11th in the second final.

Still, three podiums in four races and a close second in points against the toughest club field I’ve ever seen is nothing to complain about. We’ll be back for rounds five and six next weekend and hoping to notch the first victory in a while.

Ended up with a pole and two runner-up finishes in a field of 48 yesterday at rounds 1 and 2 of the GoPro Motorplex Karting Challenge. Happy to continue with the pace we found at the end of last year.

Huge thanks to everyone who has made this come together, but in particular to my dad, PitFit for keeping me in shape, and Josh Hotz Driver Development for helping me when possible.

Now back to the media side of things with Kart Chaser in Orlando a couple weeks from now.

Almost had it today. Qualified on pole, won the prefinal, and led at multiple points in the final before having to settle for 4th out of 35 after an intense battle for the win. Congrats to on another great win.

That’s it for me this season at a kart track. Thanks to everyone who made it amazing. Hope 2023 is even better on and off the track🙏

Had quite the weekend at the IAME Grand Nationals. We had more raw pace than in any other national weekend this year but had absolutely no luck to go with it. Had a medley of issues in almost every session and was forced to start 33rd/52 in the final. Thankfully, I made it out of that alive and was finally able to show our pace. Made up 19 spots to finish 14th ahead of some really fast drivers.

Huge thanks to and for all the support this past weekend. Really happy to be back with them. Also thanks to and for helping us over the last month with a kart/parts. Congrats to on the win in both the shootout and the race. Until next time✌️

From the lowest of the lows to the (almost) highest of highs.

Crazy day for the karting challenge. Did one lap in warmup before my brakes failed and my throttle briefly stuck. Hit a barrier in the pits at ~45 mph and destroyed the kart, my ego, and a water barrel. Thankfully I was physically alright aside from a lot of soreness which I’m still feeling.

Damage meant we missed out on qualifying and despite our best efforts the first prefinal as well. With all that said- Once we got everything fixed we were flying. 29th-7th in race 1 (with fastest lap). 28th-4th in the 9 lap second prefinal. And had a very good shot at a podium before an unfortunate mechanical dnf on the last lap while fighting for 2nd.

Thanks to for the help this weekend. Also a thank you to everyone who checked up on me throughout the day and in particular the Racing tent who were immediately there to help me.

We’ll be back in 3 weeks for IAME Grands. Hopefully without any scary practice crashes or 40 minute long frame table visits

Night fight just didn’t quite go right for us. Struggled massively with setup issues all weekend and never really figured things out. Still managed a 12th out of 60 karts despite everything. Really appreciate my dad working tirelessly to try finding pace, as well as for giving me setup help from afar all weekend. Also shoutout to for putting on a great show.

Lastly, big congrats to my friend and former teammate on a well-deserved dominant win in KA Stars. On to Road America
