2008 Eric Wins KRA7 TaG Sportsman

Throughout the 2005 season Eric displayed a growing interest in karting and began racing in the 2006 season.  Eric started in the Yamaha Junior Can class using the Comet chassis Evan raced in 2005 and later switched to a Margay chassis.  In 2007 Eric moved to the Spec TaG Senior, and finished second place in points!  For 2008 he changed to an Arrow AX-9 and raced the TaG Sportsman class, and finished second place in points. 

Eric made a big move in 2009 to a new Zanardi shifter kart with a DDR Stock Moto Honda.  Eric won the first two KRA races against a field of experienced shifter kart drivers; however, he finished second place in points - again! He finished the year by participating in the SKUSA SuperNats in Las Vegas (along side of the best karters in the world including  Michael Schumacher, Dan Weldon and Sebastien Buemi). 

Eric is a graduate of Noblesville High School and is attending Ball State University.  His other hobbies include golf, music and fishing.
