Stanislav Shavaryn-Sharkey, 3, is racing against racers who are 5 in the JuiceBox Division. Stanislav started the season in February being 2y, 7m old.

With one race to go this season, Stanislav is tied in the points with the defending JuiceBox champion, who is moving up to JR 1 Class in 2027.

Stanislav will also be racing in 2027 at T4 KartPlex in Palmetto, Fla., on their new Adrenaline Park Race Track. The series
will race once a month, which allows Stanislav to schedule races at other tracks and series.

Besides racing, Stanislav is still doing his karate training. After two confrontations with an instructor at Action Karate, Stanislav literally grabbed his shoes and walked out of the school, to the surprise and disappointment of his instructor Mr. Nate, who sided with Stanislav in the conflict.

Stanislav is now training at Torin Martial Arts Academy in Valrico under the caring and dedicated Sensei Amanda Torin.

She is nothing short of the Mother Teresa of karate training, who goes to endless lengths for her students, especially those on the spectrum.

Stanislav is a member of Pearce-Keller Sons of The American Legion Squadron 17 in Manhattan, Kan.
