My name is Kenny Elwood and I am from Waco, Texas. This is my Rookie year in the 305 Sprint class. I have over 16 years of racing experience. I was born into racing and got my first racing kart at the age of 6. I raced on dirt for 2 years and then I moved into an asphalt sprint kart. I ran the asphalts sprints for over 12 years, starting in the Jr. class and finished up my kart career in the Senior 125 cc water cooled class. In 2008, we started racing the micro sprints with a 600 cc yamaha engine.. In 2008 I was named ROOKIE OF THE YEAR and also earned the Heart of Texas Track Championship with the Brazos Mini Sprints of Texas. In 2009 about mid season through I worked out a deal to trade my mini sprint operation for a 305 Sprint operation without the motor, I had to sit the remainder of the 2009 season until I got a motor. I currently power a 2006 Maxim Chassis with a Allard 305 Race Engine.
In 2010, I have had a very successful rookie season, I didn't make it to A main, my first race but have made it ever since, I run in the Sprint Series of Texas and occasionally KSP in Kennedale. We normally have a starting field of 30 cars and so far out 7 races I have gotten
1 -3rd, 2 - 4ths, 1- 5th, 1-7th and 1-9th place finish. Be sure to check out my website www.elwoodracing.com to learn my whole racing history and to keep up with me weekly, watch my videos and check out all my pics.
My racing career highlights include the 2004 H.O.T. Kart Championship, 2005 H.O.T. Sr. Kart Championship. 2006 & 2007 Regional Kart Championship, and 2008 rookie of the year in both Brazos mini-sprints and BMS H.O.T. track championship. Qualifying and competing in the Tag World Nationals in Indianapolis in 2007, I got 12th out of 28 karts.
The thrill of racing for me is going fast, and staying on the edge and I think all parents should "Get kids involved in racing and let them experience being a driver." It has been a great learning experience for me on and off the track.
