WKA Manufactures Cup Daytona Kart Week 2009:
Dec. 29th and 30th saw Shinya back in action with the first WKA Man. Cup race of the 2010 season at Daytona Intl. Speedway. Coming off his injury at the last race of last season at Lowe’s in Charlotte as well as making his debut in the senior class, Shinya knew he had his work cut out for him. Barely a week out of a hard cast on his right hand; Shinya was cleared to race with a hard splint. So he donned an extra large racing glove on his right hand to fit over the splint and got to work. Still recovering from the injury, it was decided that it was best to run fewer classes than usual. Also, his weight being on the light side for the senior classes, it would have been hard to add enough weights to the kart for the heavy classes. So Shinya ran only the Lite classes this time out.
