Hi, My name is Indy Kassy I'm trying to fundraise some to help cover some of the travel costs to go run the WKA Manufactures Cup race at Daytona Kart Week.
My parents owned a kart shop when I was little so I grew up at the track. I started racing indoors at age 8 and finally made the jump when I was 11 to professional karting. I competed in the 2015 WKA Manufactures Cup in the Yamaha Jr Category but after one season we had to cut back to club racing. In 2018 I moved back up into the national scene this time in the Road Racing series in the X30 class and managed to get my first national Win that year at VIR. I continued National Road racing and Club level sprint racing from 2018-2023 Winning 3 National AKRA championships in Tag Medium and X30 in 2022 and 2023 as well 3 WKC Championships in 2020, 2022, and 2023 and a United Karting Track Championship in 2020. Apart from those I also made select starts in the Rotax Max East Challenge from 2020-2022. In, 2022 I completed the USA Triple crown in road racing in the same year winning races at the 3 biggest events of the year at Mid-Ohio, Pitt Race, and Daytona Kart Week in the x30 class.
In 2020 I started sim racing on Iracing but I didn't start taking it seriously until 2022 when I started playing almost daily and got on an esports team and now is within the top 1% of all members in terms of irating on the road and oval side.
In 2023 I got a chance to move up into cars for the first time. I got a test day and two races at Pittsburgh International and Watkins Glen respectively. I got to compete in the US Formula First series and showed promising speed both weekends but faced mechanical problems in both races. These races did however earn me my full SCCA Pro license and look forward to making a few more starts in 2024.
Outside of driving I am also involved in the motorsports Industry. I started a Marketing and Pr company promoting karting and sim racing drivers. I also started teaching lessons and classes at United Karting working with drivers of all ages and skill levels. Finally I traveled around with CKNA series as a tuner/coach for hire working with a couple of different drivers throughout the season. Finally I am very active and Vocal on social media as i make mostly racing related content on Tiktok and Youtube.
Overall in all honesty im just a kid who fell in love with the sport of racing at a young age and just trying to stay around the sport and live out my dreams day by day and following my passion.
