Why Stock Car Racing?
I started Ninja Karts in 2022 after my cousin Kenzie Kopacz retired from the formula moving into Minis and now Junior Productions. My Mum and Dad bought Kenzie’s LJN kart which was a good starter to learn in and in 2024 I moved into a brand new Hardie Kart. My dad has also raced a few micro bangers and van bangers

Racing Facts & Insights
Career History
I started ninja karts in 2022 when I was 7, and my last meeting at HRP this year will be the World Championship if I qualify for it in June. My last meeting ever in the ninja karts will be the British Championship at Aghadowey in July before I move into Junior Productions when I turn 11.
What is involved in the run up to an event, and what emotions are involved
My dad is always at his garage working on my ninja kart and my sisters junior production. I help him sometimes (more in the summer!) and on race days I used to get a bit nervous but I’m more confident now than I used to be.
Memories of first race
I started from the back and all my family and friends came to watch 😊
