BOWMANVILLE, ON (May 13, 2018) – Exclusive Autosport’s quartet of young drivers combined to provide the team with a very impressive start to the 2018 Toyo Tires F1600 Championship season at the BEMC Spring Trophy Races at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park. American Spike Kohlbecker finished in the top-four in all three races, and this run included a third-place podium finish in Race 1.
The fourth member for the EA team – Canadian Marco Kacic – qualified on pole for the opening race, but damage from an incident in the first race was severe enough to sideline his car for the remainder of the weekend.The team’s drivers topped the 25-car field in both practice and in qualifying, and then swept the remainder of the weekend with Beaumont, Alberta’s Matthew Taskinen scoring all three main event wins. Exclusive Autosport dominated the podiums in the F1600 A Class, with Vancouver, British Columbia’s Kellen Ritter joining Taskinen in victory lane, scoring two seconds and a third.
