 In 2010 the Gold Rush once again impressed its customers handing out big money at the end of the series, but more importantly provided close racing with big fields to once again capture the show of Kart Racing in Northern California in just its 2nd year. Gold Rush Fever spread through the pits of Kinsmen Kart Club as Championships were on the line and the top talent of Norcal was poised to capture the Golden attention.

 HPV-2 had the closest points battle going into the last series race with the top three all separated by just 25 points. Leading Edge Motorsport’s Jarred Campbell had the lead by only five points over Kartel Motorsport’s Austin Elliott and would need to finish in front of him to clinch the title. Elliott came out of the box swinging with fast time in qualifying backed up with a heat race win. In the Final Elliott and GSR Race Kart’s Sonny Cervelli got out early for a big lead. Elliott clearly had the faster kart as his Top Kart machine rolled smoothly through the hairpin onto the straight. Cervelli stayed close to keep Austin honest as Elliott would get the win and the championship in the HPV-2 division.
