EDX Reaches the Mid-Season Mark with Momentum Across WCKC and BCKC Championships

As the 2026 karting season reaches its mid-season point, EDX has plenty to be proud of across both the West Coast Kart Club Championship and the BC Karting Championships.

With drivers competing across Briggs/LO206, Rotax/TaG, Shifter, Junior, Senior, and Masters categories, the first half of the season has shown the depth of the EDX program. The team has collected podiums, fastest-lap recognition, championship-leading performances, double-class efforts, and valuable development mileage from drivers at different stages of their racing journeys.

The story so far is not just about standings. It is about progress. It is about drivers stepping into tougher fields, learning to handle pressure, recovering from penalties and mechanical issues, and finding pace as the season unfolds.

From Patrick Kleine leading the WCKC Shifter standings, to Andrew Bench sitting near the front in both WCKC and BCKC TaG Junior competition, to Teagan Kleine showing front-running pace in LO206 Junior and LO206 Junior 2, EDX has entered the second half of the season with momentum, motivation, and plenty still to fight for.

Driver Mid-Season Reports

Patrick Kleine

Shifter and LO206 Heavy / Briggs Masters

In Shifter, Patrick currently sits P1 in the WCKC championship standings with 1490 points. After winning the Shifter championship in 2025, Patrick came into 2026 with the clear goal of defending that title, and at the halfway point he is exactly where he wants to be: leading the championship.

His season has not been without adversity. Mechanical issues have interrupted race days, including a muffler failure that ended one of his Shifter outings before the racing could really begin. But even with those setbacks, Patrick has continued to collect points and keep himself at the top of the Shifter standings.

Patrick is also having a strong WCKC LO206 Heavy campaign, currently sitting P3 with 1280 points. In a deep and experienced Heavy field, that puts him firmly in the championship podium conversation. His Sunday Race 4 performance was one of the strongest examples of his pace so far, when he ran in second for most of the LO206 Heavy Final before finishing P4 after losing positions late in the race.

In the BCKC championship, Patrick is also competing in LO206 Heavy, where he currently sits P7 with 865 points. The provincial field has been extremely competitive, but Patrick has continued to put together solid race weekends and remains well inside the top ten.

At mid-season, Patrick’s campaign is defined by leadership in Shifter, consistency in LO206 Heavy, and the kind of experience that keeps him dangerous every time he rolls onto the grid.

Teagan Kleine

LO206 Junior / LO206 Junior 2 and TaG Junior

Teagan Kleine’s first half of the season has been full of pace, progress, and a few racing heartbreaks that do not fully show up in the standings.

In WCKC LO206 Junior, Teagan currently sits P5 with 1055 points. That position reflects a strong start to the season, especially considering some of the bad luck he has had along the way. One of the toughest moments came during the Race 3 LO206 Junior Final, when Teagan was running P2 on the final lap before receiving a meatball flag due to a failed rear bumper. The official result did not reflect the drive, but anyone watching knew it was a podium-level performance.

The following day, Teagan again showed podium pace in LO206 Junior. He crossed the line P3 in the Race 4 Final, but a penalty dropped him down the official standings. The team did not feel the penalty reflected the race fairly, but that is part of motorsport. What mattered most was that Teagan had the speed and race craft to put himself in that position.

In BCKC LO206 Junior 2, Teagan is even stronger in the championship picture, sitting P4 with 1350 points. His Round 2 weekend at Kartplex was one of the clearest examples of his raw pace this season, as he earned three official Fastest Lap mentions across the LO206 Junior 2 heats. Three heats, three fastest laps — that is not a fluke. That is pace.

Teagan is also competing in TaG Junior across both championships. He currently sits P9 in WCKC TaG Junior with 750 points and P9 in BCKC TaG Junior with 755 points. Running both LO206 and TaG programs gives him a demanding schedule, but it is also accelerating his development. He is learning to adapt between classes, manage different race rhythms, and sharpen his craft across two very different styles of racing.

At mid-season, Teagan’s story is simple: the speed is there. The motivation is there. The second half of the season is about converting that pace into the results he has already shown he can fight for.

Andrew Bench

TaG Junior

Andrew Bench has been one of EDX’s standout junior drivers through the first half of the season.

In WCKC TaG Junior, Andrew currently sits P2 with 1445 points. That puts him firmly in the championship fight and marks him as one of the strongest contenders in the class. His WCKC season has already included major highlights, including a P2 Final finish on Saturday of the Race 3/Race 4 double-header weekend, followed by a Sunday Pre-Final win and another podium in the Final.

Andrew is also sitting P3 in the BCKC TaG Junior standings with 1150 points. That gives him a top-three position in both major championship standings at the mid-season point — a major accomplishment in one of the most competitive junior categories.

What stands out most about Andrew’s season is progression. He has shown the ability to qualify well, move forward through heats, and convert race pace into podium results. That is exactly the kind of complete weekend structure drivers need when championships tighten up in the second half of the year.

Andrew’s first half has been fast, composed, and consistent. With podiums already on the board and strong championship positions in both WCKC and BCKC, he is one of the key EDX drivers to watch as the season continues.

Jack Harbidge

TaG Junior

Jack Harbidge has spent the first half of the season building experience in TaG Junior, one of the most competitive and fast-moving categories on the EDX roster.

In WCKC TaG Junior, Jack currently sits P8 with 840 points. That top-ten position reflects a steady first half of the season, including a double-header weekend where he improved from Saturday to Sunday and brought home a top-ten Sunday Final finish.

Jack’s season has been about development, confidence, and race mileage. Every TaG Junior weekend gives him more time in traffic, more experience managing starts and restarts, and more understanding of how to handle the pace and pressure of a strong junior field.

At this stage of the season, Jack is continuing to build the foundation. The standings show he is already inside the top ten at WCKC, and the second half of the year gives him a chance to keep tightening the gap to the drivers ahead.

Devon Radosevic

TaG Senior

Devon Radosevic has taken on a tough TaG Senior field in both WCKC and BCKC competition.

In BCKC TaG Senior, Devon currently sits P10 with 725 points, placing him inside the top ten at the provincial level. His Round 2 weekend at Kartplex showed exactly what his season has been about: fighting through traffic, finding pace as the weekend develops, and closing stronger than he starts.

In WCKC TaG Senior, Devon has continued building experience in one of the fastest categories on the calendar. The pace is high, the fields are deep, and every weekend gives him more data, more race mileage, and more confidence in senior competition.

Devon’s 2026 campaign is about converting improved pace into final results. He has shown flashes of stronger speed, especially as race weekends progress, and the second half of the season gives him the chance to keep turning that work into more points and stronger finishes.

Jack Eriksson

LO206 Senior

Jack Eriksson has been competing in LO206 Senior, one of the deepest and most crowded classes in both WCKC and BCKC competition.

In WCKC LO206 Senior, Jack currently sits P21 with 295 points. In BCKC LO206 Senior, he sits P24 with 215 points. Those standings place him in large fields where every position is hard earned.

Jack’s first half of the season has included strong learning moments, forward movement in heats, and continued improvement in lap pace. At Kartplex, he moved up well in Heat 1 and continued to lower his best lap times across the event, even with a few setbacks along the way.

For Jack, the second half of the season is about continuing to refine race starts, pack management, and consistency. LO206 Senior rewards patience and precision, and every race weekend gives him more experience in traffic and more tools to carry forward.

Cash Coogan

TaG Senior

Cash Coogan is in the early stages of his EDX race journey and has already started collecting valuable senior-class mileage.

In WCKC TaG Senior, Cash currently sits P26 with 190 points. As a newer driver, that experience is important. TaG Senior is not an easy place to start building race craft — the field is fast, the pace is high, and the margin for error is small.

Cash’s season so far is about learning quickly and staying committed to the process. Every qualifying session, heat, and final gives him more confidence in race conditions. The goal is not just immediate results, but steady improvement: cleaner starts, stronger consistency, better traffic management, and more comfort at speed.

At mid-season, Cash is gaining the kind of experience that becomes the base for future results.

Patrick Conaty

Briggs Masters

Patrick Conaty continues to build within the EDX Masters program, bringing a steady and focused approach to his development.

After completing his rookie campaign in 2025, Patrick entered this season with a clear goal: keep improving the fundamentals that matter most in Briggs Masters competition. That means cleaner qualifying laps, stronger braking references, better corner-exit consistency, and more confidence racing inside the pack.

Patrick’s progress is about building the habits that turn into race results over time. The Masters field rewards patience, race craft, and consistency, and every outing gives him more data to work from and more confidence behind the wheel.

For Patrick, the second half of the season is an opportunity to keep sharpening his race execution and continue moving toward consistent top-five pace at the club level.

Shawn Caspar

Rotax Masters

Shawn Caspar continues to develop in Rotax Masters, bringing a measured, focused approach to one of the more demanding categories on the EDX roster.

His program is built around consistency, clean race distances, and gradually closing the pace window to the competitive Masters field. In Rotax competition, every detail matters: starts, tire pressure windows, braking confidence, out-lap execution, and the ability to stay composed in traffic.

Shawn’s first half of the season has been about building confidence and strengthening the foundation. The more laps he logs, the more feedback he can give, and the more comfortable he becomes under green-flag pressure.

For Shawn, the second half of the season is about continuing that development curve and turning seat time into measurable progress.

Team Takeaways

The first half of the season has shown the range of the EDX program. There are championship leaders, podium contenders, rising juniors, senior-class grinders, Masters drivers, and developing racers all working under the same team banner.

The second half of the season is where the picture sharpens. Points become more important. Mistakes become more costly. Momentum matters more. And for EDX, the message is clear: the team has the pace, the drivers have the motivation, and the best racing of the season is still ahead.
