They had valuable information on the car, while everyone else was lost in the dark. Furthermore, if you don't know, his team was the people who opened the engines and dynoed them, then they distributed the engines to everyone else. Are they going to give me or somebody else the best engine?? sure lol. They also hired the Cameron Brothers (the engineers who designed the car and had 20 years experience in atlantic cars) and they were working with them the whole season.

Matter of fact, I've heard of many karting champs and met a few professional drivers who were so fast but never had a budget, deep pockets or a decent chance at sponsorship. Seems its a multitude of factors that a champion make, one of them is driving fast.
