Complox Go-kart Racer Third at Nationals by Brad Kelly Consider it three times lucky for go-kart racer Scot MacKenzie. In two previous appearances at the Canadian Grand Nationals, his best finish was a ninth. This year, making his third successive successive trip to compete against the elite racers in his sport, MacKenzie placed third out of 51 racers in the Senior Light Class. "I hoped to get into the top 10," said the 16-year-old of his expectations expectations prior to the race. But, when the rain began to fall at Shannonville Motorsport Park, MacKenzie knew that his chances of finishing higher would improve. He seems to excel under those conditions, conditions, he said. "If you're under-powered, the rain will even you out with the other racers," he said.'"The rain equals everyone out, to a point." The Grand Nationals represent the biggest event of the year for go- kart racers in Canada. Drivers from British Columbia, Saskatchewan, the Maritimes, Quebec and the United United States make the trek each year to compete against the best drivers in the sport. In his first appearance at the Grand Nationals in '91, MacKenzie finished in the middle of the pack. Last year, he was ninth in the Junior Heavy Class. He has come a long way in the sport after beginning his short career in 1989 at the go-kart track in Whitby. Whitby. One year later, he was racing as a member of the Durham Kart Club. Last year, he was the Durham Kart Club Jr. 4-Cycle Champion. This year, he moved to the Sim- coe Kart Club, competing in a 10 race series that runs from April to October. The circuit makes regular stops at tracks in Shannonville, Sutton, Sutton, Peterborough and Gamcbridgc. After six races, the grade 12 student student at Bowmanville High School has accumulated enough points to place himself in the top ten. His highest finish thus far has been a second, in tire rain, at Sutton. "I'd like to end up first, but realistically, realistically, the top five would be nice," MacKenzie said. "I just go out every weekend to practice and do the best I can." He hopes to one day parlay his racing interests into a career on the Indy Car circuit, alongside the likes of two prominent Canadians, Paul Tracy and Scott Goodyear. "If I was 50 years old and got the chance, I would lake it," he said of his aspirations. "Hopefully, it will come a lot sooner than that." But, before he can get behind the wheel of an Indy car, there is a progressive progressive ladder he must first climb. Getting into the Formula 1600 or 2000 scries would be the next logical logical step in his progression. From there, a number of different factors come into play. Namely, these factors include winning races and getting some lucky breaks. "You have to prove yourself to the car owners, and it takes a little luck. You have to be in the right place at the right time," MacKenzie said. For the time being, the right place at the right time for Scot MacKenzie is atop the winner's podium podium following each race. Go-kart racer Scot MacKenzie had his best finish in three attempts at the Canadian Grand National Championships held at Shannonville Motorsport Park recently. In two previous years, his best placing was ninth, but this year he managed to finish an impressive third overall in the Senior Light Class. He hopes to be behind the wheel of an Indy car some day.
