Team Montelo in Action

Patrick Montelo - August 13th 2017		2017 Chicago Region Solo Championship Series Event 5, Route 66 Raceway, Joliet Illinois -- Had some ABS issues in the morning, flat spotted tires, and killed a lot of cones today. This was my best raw time of 46.267 + 1 right before the finish.
Michael Montelo - July 23rd 2017		2017 Chicago Region Solo Championship Series Event 4, Route 66 Raceway, Joliet Illinois -- Michael's Fast Scratch Run of 42.434 + 1 cone.
Michael Montelo - June 18th 2017		2017 TSSCC Championship Autocross Series Event 5, Route 66 Raceway, Joliet Illinois -- 2017 TSSCC #5 - Run #7 - 45.331 - 4th in class, .237 out of 1st, 18th on PAX, 255F /275R knives at 275F / 305R gun fight
Michael Montelo - July 5th 2015		2015 WAI Autocross, Miller Park, Milwaukee Wisconsin -- One of Michael's runs at a WAI autocross event in Milwaukee, shot on a $60 Xiaomi Yi in 1080P 60 FPS, great quality except for the wind noise
Michael Montelo - October 13th 2013		2013 Chicago Region Solo Championship Series, Route 66 Raceway, Joliet Illinois -- This was Michael's fastest run of the day and his widest line through the showcase turn. Junior Karts are all about speed maintenance and Mike did a nice job driving "flat out" on this run.
Joey Montelo - October 7th 2007		2007 Bridgestone Championship Series Points Race #15, Badger Raceway, Dousman Wisconsin -- This was Joey's feature race in the Yamaha Jr. SSX Can class. Joey had blown an engine in the previous heat race and did not finish. That DNF placed him starting at 9th in the field. I made a mad scramble to change his kart over to our spare motor (which was borrowed from Michael's kart after he blew his motor on Saturday!). Unfortunately I wasn't able to video his brother Anthony's feature race which was also very exciting. Watch for the passing opportunities starting at lap two! (keep in mind these karts weigh 305 lbs with the driver) Joey finished the race in 4th moving up 5 positions and successfully holding off the local class champion. It was an expensive and tiring weekend for this crew chief, but at the same time very rewarding!
Michael Montelo - September 8th 2007		2007 Milwaukee Region Event #6, Miller Park, Milwaukee Wisconsin -- This was Michael's fastest run of the day on raw time. Unfortunately he did hit a cone in the first slalom spoiling an otherwise great run.
Joey Montelo - June 17th 2007		2007 WAI Event #3, Miller Park, Milwaukee Wisconsin -- Joey was playing catchup trying to catch Anthony who had the top time of the day (58.138) in Formula Junior. Dad tried to help by making a gear change. In hindsight it was probably the wrong thing to do, but run 6 at 59.468 would still be Joey's best of the day.
Anthony Montelo - May 13th 2007		2007 Chicago Region Solo Championship Series Event 2, Route 66 Raceway, Joliet Illinois -- A video of America's next hope for an F1 World Championship, Anthony Montelo. This was Anthony's last run of the day. Unfortunately a little too much opposite lock and a couple of cones got in the way of an otherwise 42 second FTDI run! This was our first outing with our new helmet cam and unfortunately we didn't have the sound working yet. (just imagine the sound of angry bumblebees at 14,000+ RPM...)
