PROFILE
Grayson, a karting prodigy since age 6, has excelled in competitions throughout the Pacific Northwest region. He capped his cadet class career (age 7-11) with an impressive record: 22 podium finishes in 28 races, including 8 victories.
In 2023, at just 12 years old, Grayson stepped up to the highly competitive Junior category (age 12-15), racing a full size kart powered by a 125cc Rotax engine. Despite being the youngest in his class, he triumphed in his debut at the West Coast Kart Club season opener and was the leading Rotax driver at the Padholder Super Cup in Richland, Washington, securing P6 and P9 finishes against the best Junior drivers in western Canada and the United States.
