If you want to know the future of karting at the Lorain Ohio KartPlex, you just had to be trackside at BRKC Round 6 on October 18, 2025. Nine drivers, ages 7 to 12, lined up for the 206 Mini/Cadet class. Three more took on the T4 Mini/Swift Mini class. And one 8-year-old raced in both.
These kids aren’t just riding around out there. They’re racing. They’re learning racecraft, managing tire wear over eight-lap stints, and posting lap times that get more consistent with every session. Some of them are barely tall enough to see over the steering wheel, and they’re already putting on a show.
Here’s how Round 6 went down.
Meet the Grid
The 206 Mini/Cadet class had nine entries, showing the depth of young talent at the KartPlex:
| Driver | Kart # |
|---|---|
| Anthony Ciofani | 17 |
| Logan Pollack | 013 |
| Harrison Bell | 52 |
| Aiden Harbaugh | 924 |
| Ashlyn Taylor | 80 |
| Mason Maki | 90 |
| Remy Boss | 8 |
| Grayson Miller | 82 |
| Weston Davis | 203 |
The T4 Mini/Swift Mini class ran alongside it with three drivers: Remy Boss (Swift), Dominic Borelli (T4 Mini), and Austin Harbaugh (T4 Mini).
Qualifying: Ciofani Sets the Tone
Anthony Ciofani put himself on pole with a 1:10.372 on his second of three laps. Logan Pollack slotted in right behind at 1:10.771, just 0.399 seconds back. Aiden Harbaugh rounded out the top three with a 1:11.013.
The top seven were separated by just 1.701 seconds, which is pretty tight for a class where the drivers range from 7 to 12 years old. Ashlyn Taylor, Mason Maki, and Harrison Bell all qualified within 1.7 seconds of pole. Remy Boss was right there too, posting a 1:12.073 for P7.
| Pos | Driver | Best Lap | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anthony Ciofani | 1:10.372 | - |
| 2 | Logan Pollack | 1:10.771 | +0.399s |
| 3 | Aiden Harbaugh | 1:11.013 | +0.641s |
| 4 | Ashlyn Taylor | 1:11.860 | +1.488s |
| 5 | Mason Maki | 1:11.865 | +1.493s |
| 6 | Harrison Bell | 1:11.974 | +1.602s |
| 7 | Remy Boss | 1:12.073 | +1.701s |
| 8 | Grayson Miller | 1:16.947 | +6.575s |
| 9 | Weston Davis | 1:19.443 | +9.071s |
Over in T4 Mini/Swift Mini qualifying, Dominic Borelli grabbed pole with a 1:12.524, ahead of Austin Harbaugh at 1:16.107. Remy Boss was entered but DNS’d qualifying in this class, likely saving his focus for the 206 session.
Heat 1: Ciofani and Pollack Go at It
This is where it got fun. Over eight laps, Ciofani and Pollack put on a clinic. Ciofani crossed the line first, but the gap was just 0.064 seconds. That’s barely a blink. These two were matched lap for lap, with Pollack actually posting the faster best lap (1:10.489 vs Ciofani’s 1:10.523).
Harrison Bell had a strong run to P3, 5.9 seconds back but running consistent 1:11s. Aiden Harbaugh was right behind in P4. Remy Boss, running in his first of two classes for the day, finished P5 with a best of 1:12.696.
| Pos | Driver | Best Lap | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anthony Ciofani | 1:10.523 | - |
| 2 | Logan Pollack | 1:10.489 | +0.064s |
| 3 | Harrison Bell | 1:11.295 | +5.904s |
| 4 | Aiden Harbaugh | 1:11.320 | +7.886s |
| 5 | Remy Boss | 1:12.696 | +18.632s |
| 6 | Mason Maki | 1:12.464 | +18.837s |
| 7 | Ashlyn Taylor | 1:12.443 | +19.145s |
| 8 | Weston Davis | 1:05.115 | +1:05.115 |
| 9 | Grayson Miller | 1:06.042 | +1:06.042 |
Meanwhile, in the T4 Mini/Swift Mini Heat 1, Remy Boss won by 41.2 seconds over Dominic Borelli. His best lap of 1:08.381 came on the final lap, getting faster as the race went on. Austin Harbaugh finished P3 after completing seven of eight laps.
Heat 2: Bell Makes a Move, Boss Does Double Duty
Heat 2 was a shorter six-lap affair, and the order shuffled a bit. Ciofani won again (1:10.590 best), with Pollack staying close in P2 at 2.1 seconds back. But the story was Harrison Bell. After qualifying P6 and finishing Heat 1 in P3, Bell put together an impressive Heat 2, moving up to P4 and dropping his lap times as the session went on: 1:18.937, 1:13.744, 1:11.509, 1:11.202, 1:10.757, 1:11.368. That 1:10.757 on lap 5 was his fastest time of the entire day to that point.
Remy Boss climbed to P3 in the 206 class with a best of 1:11.834, then went straight over to the T4 Mini/Swift Mini Heat 2 and won that too, posting a 1:07.220 on his very first lap. Two classes, two wins, no breaks. Not bad for an 8-year-old.
The Final: Ciofani Takes It, But Look at Bell and Pollack
The eight-lap Final was all about three drivers at the front. Ciofani controlled the race from pole, posting clean laps between 1:10.4 and 1:10.7 the whole way. But right behind him, Harrison Bell and Logan Pollack were having their own battle.
Bell finished P2, 3.558 seconds behind Ciofani, and Pollack was P3 just 0.118 seconds behind Bell. Their best laps told the real story: Pollack posted a 1:10.247 on lap 4 and Bell hit a 1:10.265 on lap 7. Those are actually faster than Ciofani’s best of 1:10.416. Both of them found pace in the Final that they hadn’t shown all day.
| Pos | Driver | Best Lap | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anthony Ciofani | 1:10.416 | - |
| 2 | Harrison Bell | 1:10.265 | +3.558s |
| 3 | Logan Pollack | 1:10.247 | +3.676s |
| 4 | Mason Maki | 1:11.729 | +14.930s |
| 5 | Ashlyn Taylor | 1:11.785 | +15.353s |
| 6 | Aiden Harbaugh | 1:11.949 | +15.716s |
| 7 | Weston Davis | 1:15.433 | +56.900s |
| 8 | Grayson Miller | 1:15.929 | +57.747s |
| DNS | Remy Boss | - | - |
Mason Maki had a solid day, finishing P4 in the Final and steadily improving his times. Ashlyn Taylor and Aiden Harbaugh rounded out the midfield in P5 and P6. Harbaugh had a rough Heat 2 (only 4 laps completed) but bounced back for the Final.
Remy Boss DNS’d the 206 Final, likely after racing both classes all day. Smart move. He still had the T4 Mini/Swift Mini Final to run, and he went out and won that too, beating Dominic Borelli by 48.649 seconds with a best of 1:07.816. That gave Boss three wins on the day across two different classes.
The Youngest Drivers on the Grid
Weston Davis and Grayson Miller deserve a mention. They finished P7 and P8 in the Final, running in the 1:15 to 1:19 range, which puts them several seconds off the leaders. But here’s the thing: they’re 7 and 8 years old. They completed every lap of every session they entered. They kept their karts on track and brought them home clean. That’s a win at that age.
Davis in particular showed improvement through the day, dropping from a 1:19.443 qualifying time to a 1:15.433 best in the Final. That’s a four-second improvement over the course of a single race day. Give both of these kids another season and those times are going to start dropping fast.
Remy Boss: The 8-Year-Old Who Raced Everything
We have to talk about Remy Boss. This kid is 8 years old and he entered two classes at Round 6. In the 206 Mini/Cadet class, he qualified P7, climbed to P5 in Heat 1, then P3 in Heat 2. He DNS’d the Final (understandably, after a full day of racing).
In the T4 Mini/Swift Mini class, he won every session he entered: Heat 1 by 41 seconds, Heat 2 by over a minute, and the Final by nearly 49 seconds. His best lap of the day was a 1:07.220, and he got faster as each race went on. That’s the kind of thing you usually see from veteran drivers, not from someone who’s still in elementary school.
Looking Ahead
The 2025 BRKC season was just the beginning for these kids. Ciofani showed he can win from the front and manage a race. Bell showed he can come from the back of the qualifying order and find speed when it matters. Pollack proved he has the raw pace to beat anyone in the class on any given lap. And Boss proved he can race anything with an engine on it.
If these drivers keep developing at this rate, the Mini/Cadet class at the Lorain Ohio KartPlex is going to be one of the most fun things to watch in 2026. These kids are the future of the sport, and they’re already putting on some seriously entertaining races.
