Makos Motorsports Kicks off New Website and New Season
April 21, 2008

Makos Motorsports is pleased to announce the launch of our new Website. We hope to keep race fans up-to-date with respect to scheduling, results, news and photos, and also to retain historical data on Matteus and Julius Makos and their growing list of accomplishments. Please bear with us as this site is still under construction, and more features will be functional as soon as possible. Check back often for updates!

Ontario-based Makos Motorsports is entering its fourth season of kart racing in exciting fashion! Team drivers Julius and Matteus Makos are set to run a number of classes on a variety of tracks, and will do so on multiple chassis as they continue to develop into well-rounded racers. Each is set to race both the Ontario Regional Karting Championship and the Brian Stewart Racing Karting Championship along with select club races when time allows - an action packed schedule to be sure.

For 2008 four-stroke racing, the team has signed on with Karts&Parts Gold and will be at the capable hands of driver/tuner Darryl Timmers. Matteus will race Novice while Julius will return to Junior Light. Combinations are still being considered for two-stroke classes, but be sure both Julius and Matteus will be on the Mini-Max grid in the season ahead.

Nine-year-old Matteus is perhaps the most excited Canadian karter entering his third full season of racing as he missed much of last year with a broken arm - twice! Just days after healing from a broken left arm, he broke his right and returned to the injured list! Despite the setbacks, Matteus finished third at both Toronto Kart Club and Simcoe Kart Club, and was fifth in the Brian Stewart Racing Karting Championship.

Twelve-year-old Julius is entering his fifth full season of competition having taken the 2007 Simcoe Kart Club Junior Light Championship. He also finished fifth at the Brian Stewart Racing Karting Championship and will be looking for podiums and major points in both regionals beginning in May.

Makos Motorsports races with support from Makos Promotional Products, Road Runner Engines, Asset Engineering, Boss Steel, Classic Cuisine, Classique Event Catering, K-Tek Electro Services Limited, Low Risk Logistics, Maple Leaf Foods, Night Light Inc, and The K-Line Group of Companies.
