Guyana’s Calvin Ming and his ‘Pabst Racing’ team fellow drivers Rinus Veekay of Holland and Lucas Kohl of Brazil, all had a very successful weekend in the 4th round of the USF2000 series, which was held on Friday and Saturday at the ‘Road America’ circuit in Wisconsin.

The 6.5 kilometers circuit has 14 turns over very undulating terrain with several elevation changes. The cars were clocked at speeds in excess of 140 mph and an average speed around the circuit of over 111 mph. Each race is run for 30 minutes from start to finish.
For the first race on Friday, Rinus qualified in second position (P2) and won the race. Lucas qualified in P5 and finished in third place, and Calvin qualified in P15 and powered through the field to finish in fourth place, after a very exciting drive.
The second race on Saturday saw Rinus qualifying in P1 and finishing first, while Calvin Ming qualified in P5 and finished in second place with Lucas, who qualified in P7, ending in sixth position.
Ming turned in the fastest time for the weekend at 2 mins 10.163 secs around the track.
The entire Pabst team were very pleased having won 4 out of the total of 6 top places in the two races, and are currently in the lead for the team championship. The current leader of the series is Oliver Askew.
Round #5 of the series is scheduled for July 8-9 in Iowa, followed by round #6 on July 15-16 in Toronto, Canada.
