Announcing our League Cup Winners for 2017: Team Elite and Second Timers
A hearty “congratulations!” to all of our finalists. It’s no easy feat to reach the finals, but as we’ve just witnessed, only the best can make it this far!
Naturally, there can only be one winner per league. For this year, the honour for League Cup 1 goes to Team Elite, and forLeague Cup 2, it’s to Second Timers. Well done to both teams – you earned your place in our hall of fame!
What a fitting end to the season, with last year’s winners just losing out after going back-to-back with rivalries Team Elite.
Our winners take home cold hard cash prizes - $500 to be precise – as well as bragging rights. They also get their names on the League Cup trophy and an exclusive place on the Ace Karts honour board. Pride. Glory. Cash. What more could you ask for?
What an incredible grand finale! Team Elite set the pace, with Casey Mold and Jamie Russell taking the top two positions in qualifying.
The final was indeed a nail-biter, with Team Elite taking the qualifying advantage over Simon Arnold (from Second Timers), setting up their race win to take out the League Cup Final for 2017.
