Savannah, GA - The third week of the Oglethorpe Speedway Park Go Kart Winter Shoot-Out Series was the golden week for Hilton Head, South Carolina’s Tad Segars. The twenty year racing veteran picked up his very first career win with a strong run in the Stock Heavy division. Segars out ran Savannah’s Billy Dixon for the victory.

“I can’t believe I have been racing this long and have never won a main event,” said Segars afterwards. “I just can’t believe I won.”

Other drivers picking up victories during the Saturday afternoon race event included Cliff Hudson in the Rookie I; Tyler Perry in the Rookie II; Tyler Sherrod in the Junior Unrestricted; Eddie Morris in the Stock Light; Tim Broschard in the Stock Medium; Steven Howard in the Outlaws and Tyler Moore in the Kiddie Karts.

It was the first feature victory for nine-year-old Cliff Hudson while Tyler Perry’s victory placed him in a tie for the points lead with fellow Rookie II driver Joseph Diekemper.

The points race is close in the Stock Light division. Summerville, South Carolina’s Krystle Wolfe leads this past Saturday’s feature winner Eddie Morris by only three points. Eric Robinson has faded back to third place over the past two races.

In the Stock Medium division another South Carolina driver is on top. Tim Broschard leads Carl Bobst by only six points heading into this weekend’s match-up on the OSP fifth-mile go kart track.
