time with Team Principal Mike Smith the one in the hot seat. Unlike his trials in the Senior category, Masters had been a very good season for Smith, and the seventh round would be another one of his best. Still, there was no shortage of pressure from the rest of the class, led by teammate and reigning Masters Champ Mark Connell. Smith would score the pole position and pair of heat race wins over Connell, the latter also fighting off pressure from CSK Racing stablemates Jose da Silva, Lukas Dziemidok, and Sean Bradley. In the Main, it would once again be Smith out front, pushing to try and stay ahead of the chasing quartet, with Connell again leading the charge. This time, however, it was Lukas who would be on the move, working up from 5th on lap one, dispatching Bradley, and then da Silva before taking over the second spot from Connell by lap seven. That infighting was enough for Smith to grow his advantage to a comfortable margin, scoring the win, and with it the 2018 206 Masters Championship. Lukas Dziemidok would also be able to pull away a bit, coming across second for his best finish of the season, while Jose da Silva earned the same feat by bringing home his first podium with third. For his part, Mark Connell would also lock up the second spot in the standings via his top-five finish, leaving the final podium spot to be decided by CSK Racing stablemates Lukas Dziemidok and Sean Bradley, sitting just 10 points apart heading into the Season Finale… 206 MASTERS TOP 5 POINTS (DROP): 1) Mike Smith 2430 (383) 2) Mark Connell 2235 (324) 3) Lukas Dziemidok 2114 (330) 4) Sean Bradley 2104 (299) 5) Steve Jasinski 2011 (302) CSK Racing would like to again thank all of their customers for coming out to round #7 for the 2018 Tri-C Karters season, and we’re looking forward to the Season Finale on the Tecnico configuration on October 27th, followed by the Awards Banquet immediately after the races.
