OSU grad student Kevin Yap competed in the Tire Rack SCCA Solo Nationals last week
in Topeka Kan. He qualified by winning two divisional and 3 regional championships
this year, his first full season behind the wheel of his Toyota Corolla. Driving for
Kev Master Racing, Yap was the only rookie from the state to qualify for the Topeka
event, which is part of the National Championships. Coached by Robert Seelig, Kevin
was in the ultra-competitive H-Stock class where many previous national champions
got their start since it is an affordable gateway to competitive racing, due to the
low cost of cars involved and the limitations on allowed upgrades. Kevin, a native
of Brisbane Australia, got his marketing degree at OSU and is now working on his master’s
in business administration. He is sponsored by Whiteline Automotive, Global Performance
Services, Raptor Racing and Polymer Dynamics Inc.
