Thirteen drivers will fly the Racing Edge Motorsports pink and purple this week in Miami, Florida. Taking to the temporary circuit at the Hard Rock Stadium set up by Rok Cup USA, the team from Stouffville, Ontario will compete in the opening round of the Florida Winter Tour. REM is excited to welcome back a number of team drivers from 2018, as well as welcome a selection of new drivers for the Winter Tour. The majority will suit up in Vortex Rok Cup competition this weekend, but a pair will also compete in some Briggs 206 action, something new to the Florida Winter Tour this season. For Team Manager Kevin Monteith, the Florida Winter Tour is the turn of a page and the start of a new season, without forgetting the successes of the previous year. “2018 was an extremely successful year for REM, winning multiple championships and becoming back-to-back ASN Canadian Champion in Rok Junior. We are looking forward to what 2019 has in store and looking to continue building on our successes with 13 drivers for round one of the Florida Winter Tour. I couldn’t be more excited to get going in Miami.” Leading the charge in Rok Read more…
