PROFILE

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1501801205457{padding-right: 3% !important;}”]Dante Yu began karting in 2008 at Adams Motorsports in Riverside and was coached by the well-known owner Troy Adams. Dante started racing in the kid kart class and joined SoCal Sprinters the following year. Later on Dante moved up to the cadet class and also joined both the IKF Region 7 and Los Angeles Karting Club.

In 2011, Dante raced with SuperKarts USA at Super Nationals held in Las Vegas for the first time. Although he wasn’t very successful in the race, Dante gained valuable experience and had a great time.

Dante earned his first two wins in KPV-1 and PRD-1 at Adams Motorsports in 2012. Later in the year, he joined Buddy Rice Karting for Spring Nationals and Summer Nationals. During Summer Nationals, Dante earned pole position and finished the race in third place. In November, Dante competed again in Super Nationals and gained more international experience. 

Early 2013, Dante headed to Phoenix for Challenge of the Americas. He then went to Tucson, AZ for Spring Nationals. In March, Dante raced at CalSpeed Karting Track in Fontana, CA with LAKC where he finished the race in second place. Dante again went to CalSpeed in April where he took home the trophy for first place. Dante began June strongly with a pole position and finished in second at Willow Springs.

Throughout 2015 Dante had his ups and downs, but was able to finish the season strong with a 7th place finish at SKUSA’s SuperNationals in Las Vegas. 

Dante began 2016 by joining COMPKART and continues to find success on the track. He started the season with a win in the first round of the SKUSA California Pro Kart Challenge, won his first national race at SKUSA SpringNationals, and has traveled to various events in Europe to further his experience.

With the support of his family and friends, Dante is able to improve and excel at his racing efforts. Dante is very appreciative of the constant encouragement he receives from family and fellow racers.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1499817146580{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 8px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”]
