(September 27h, 2017)……….Paradise, CA driver Michael Helwig put together one of the best, if not the best season ever recorded at the Cycleland Speedway. Helwig won 15 races in 2017 and finished no worse than 3rd all year long. He set Fast Time in qualifying on five occasions, scored four heat wins and four Trophy Dash wins as well. His average Main Event finish in 2017 was a staggering 1.3, far and away better than that of any other driver this season. Helwig continued his r

Michael Helwig has been unstoppable in 2017 as he has put together one of the most consistent, and winningest season’s we have ever experienced here at the Cycleland Speedway. Helwig now has 12 Main Event wins and has not finished outside of the top three yet this season. When the green flag flew it was Scott Stephens alongside Kody Hunderman on the front row. That didn’t last long however, as Helwig got an excellent launch and went three wide through the middle to take the l

The Sportsman Class in 2017 has been absolutely dominated by the #28M of Michael Helwig. Alec Justeson though didn’t let that fact even enter his mind on Saturday night as he dominated the Main Event en route to his first win of the 2017 race season. When the Green Flag went in the air for the 20 Lap Main Event it was polesitter Scott Stephens who would jump out front and lead the opening two laps in his unique #44X kart. I say unique because Stephens is the only driver compe

Michael Helwig has had a near perfect season at the Cycleland Speedway in 2017. He has won all but three Main Events, and hasn’t finished off the podium yet this season. He is definitely the driver to beat each week in the Sportsman Class, and so far no one has figured out how to do it on a regular basis. Brian Seim started the Main Event on the Pole after winning his Heat Race earlier in the night. Kody Hunderman started to the outside of the front row. At the drop of the Gr

If there’s one class we have seen dominated in 2017 at Cycleland it would be the Sportsman Class. Michael Helwig has been on a tear this season. Through 12 points races he has a worst finish of 3rd and now 10 Main Event Wins. He keeps telling me I’m going to jinx him by talking about it, but it’s hard not to when you see a performance like the one he has put up this season. Michael Helwig started on the Pole for the 20 Lap Main Event and he never looked back as he led all 20

Michael Helwig has been near perfect in 2017 so far. He now has 8 Main Event wins in 10 starts and has yet to finish off the podium. He kept the streak alive on Saturday as he notched another win and extended his already large points lead. When the Green Flag flew it was Mike Moore who made the big time move on the start to take the lead and lead the opening lap after starting in the second row. Michael Helwig though was able to get by him on Lap 2 and that was all she wrote.

Michael Helwig is one of the most consistent drivers in Outlaw Kart’s on the West Coast. He has proved that this season in the Sportsman Class. Thru nine races this season (including Jim Shirley Mem.) Helwig has an average Main Event finish of 1.4. He now has seven wins and two third place finishes in 2017. Michael Helwig had to really work hard to earn the win tonight as he had Shawn Fogarty really give him a good run throughout the early part of the race. They exchanged sli

Michael Helwig has been a dominant force in the Sportsman Class so far this year. Helwig scored his fifth win of the season Saturday night and is well in control of the Sportsman class early in the season. He is one of the smoothest and craftiest drivers on the race track, and is a lot of fun to watch wheel an outlaw kart. The race began with Leana Kenyon and Daniel Becker up front for the start. Kenyon would get the initial call on the start leading the opening lap. Becker t

The Sportsman Class saw somewhat of a surprise winner on Saturday night during Points Race #2 as 37 year old driver Matt Peacher put together a great performance to pick up the victory in his Peacher Ag Construction #64 kart. Matt has been a regular in the Sportsman class over the past few seasons and it was great to see him have such a strong performance as he led all 20 laps en route to the victory. Leana Kenyon tried all she could running right around the bottom of the rac
