Anthony
Monte Takes Home His Awards for 2009 Race Season
01.31.10
- Anthony Monte took home several awards from the 2009 race season at the
annual Long Island Karting Association Awards Banquet on Sunday, January
31st 2010 at the Islandia Marriot Hotel.
 Anthony
won 2nd place in the Vanderbilt Race Series, 1st place in the Saturday
Sprint Series, 2nd place in the Long Island Championship Series and 2nd
place in the Long Island Karting Association Race Season in the 80cc 2
cycle Cadet Novice class.
Anthony's
race kart was sponsored by Go
Pro Hero Video Cameras,
Fleming Motorsports, Rockwell
Action Sport Watches, Lisa
Beth Gerstman Foundation and Margison
Graphics. Without the support of our sponsors, Anthony success
in 2009 would not be possible. We are hoping that all of our sponsors
return for the 2010 race season. We would also like to thank all of our
friends and family who help both Nicholas and Anthony during this past
race season.
We
would also like to announce that Douglas Wheels, DWT has signed on to
sponsor the Monte Brothers Racing team for the 2010 race season. DWT will
be on all three race karts for the upcoming season.

Monte
Brothers Racing Takes a Few Family Members to GPNY
12.30.09
-  Nicholas
and Anthony Monte took a few cousins and uncles up to Grand Prix New York
for a few laps of racing fun. As always the place did not let us down and
I can't thank Ryan and Jose enough for taking good care of us.
We
did two races on the Uptown track which has some tight turns and a nice
elevation change. Needless to say, the competitiveness came out in
all of us as the laps ticked off. The usual mild manner behavior gave way
to the bumping and grinding, "Rubbing is Racing" mentality.
There were a few new family grudges created that night on the track. But
when the last checkered flag waved, we all came away with smiles and a lot
of good family memories. I think the next family reunion will be held at
GPNY.
Monte
Brothers Racing to Compete at Indoor Winter Series at GPNY
12.09.09
- With the outdoor race season over and the race karts packed away for the
winter, both Nicholas and Anthony look forward to indoor racing
activities. The folks at Grand Prix New York, an indoor racing facility in
Mount Kisco, NY are hosting a three race series over the winter. GPNY is a
top notch indoor karting facility with two race tracks with elevation
changes and tight turns. The dates for the three races are January 16th,
January 30th and February 13th. Racing starts at 9:00am, so get there
early. GPNY will provide all of the equipment needed to race.
The
Winter Series is open to all ages and to anyone who has an interest in go
kart racing. This is a great opportunity to give go kart racing a try.

Anthony
Monte Finishes 2nd in the Long Island Championship Race #3 and 2nd in the
overall L.I.K.A Championship.
11.08.09
- On an unusually warm November Sunday morning, Anthony Monte of the
Monte Brothers Racing Team took to the track for the final event of the
2009 race season.  This
event would be a combination event, Race 3 of the Long Island Championship
Series and the Annual Turkey Race, a L.I.K.A tradition where race winners
are awarded an actual turkey.
The
day could not have been better. Anthony's kart was strong and during the
three practice sessions for the day, Anthony would battle with fellow
competitor and good friend Dominick Ferrara. a little bumping back and
forth but the two drivers, as always, came off the track smiling and
congratulated each other. Anthony's 2nd place finish in the race would
secure 2nd place in the overall L.I.K.A Championship. This was a great way
to end the 2009 season.
