About Matthew
Matthew is a 10 year old winged kart racing from Little Rock, IA. We are getting ready to embark on our 3rd season of winged kart racing in 2025! In 2023 we raced in the Rbox class, and in 2024 we be moved up a class to Rbox Pro! Most of our 2024 season was cut off due to the flooding in Northwest Iowa effecting our home and garage, but we can't wait to run a full schedule in 2025. We'll stay in Rbox Pro for the next two seasons for sure, looking to BP (Junior Wing) after that.

2025 Plans
We want to travel more! We want to hit a few highlight events around the region as travel and time allow.
Our primary focus will be the AJC Kart Series in the area, and we'll run a couple of the Mid-Central Showdown Series races.
We also plan to run as often as possible at Plessis Motor Speedway and Kee Kart Speedway.
If we can fit in University Plains, Golden Spike, and maybe one other we'll consider that a great season. Our plan is to race 20 times at at least 5 different tracks.
