season 1 championship podium
Reigning MNM champion Gage Korn is a 15 year old pro shifter karting driver, who has made six appearances on the world stage representing team USA. Multiple national championships, and as Pro SHifter Rookie of the Year in his debut in the gearbox class, he is seeking to find his first world championship very soon. But none of those decorations matter as much as being the innagural MNM champion. Gage looks to go back to back in season 2.

MNM S1 Vice Champion Ayrton Cahan caps off his 2025 as the FRP F1600 Champion, beating brother and fellow MNM member Gabe Cahan to the championship by a single point, the slimmest margin in F1600 history. Ayrton found himself on the otherside of that coin against Gage Korn, losing the championship in the final race of the 23-round season. Ayrton looks to win it all in season 2 while balancing another busy season of racing in real life.

In Mason’s breakout year in the Pro category for single-speed karting, he found success across his entries on the X30 and OK-N platform, as well as on Monday nights in a Global MX-5, also contending Gage and Ayrton until the last race of the 23 round season. As the driver with the largest points gap in the lead of the championship at one point during the season, Mason looks to hold on to it this season and win it all.

Duncan Warnke, Founder of the series, is a long time Karting Driver who now works full time as a mechanic and coach for the greatest team in the world. He is ready to win a SKUSA ProTour Championship on his wrenches with Ruben Moya in 2026. But even more than that, is excited to win a championship as a driver when he puffs everyone in season 2 of Monday Night Miata’s. What started as a small gathering of friends once a week in a Toyota GR, became a movement with hundreds of members and their Miata’s. If you are reading this right now, I am thankful for you.

Travis Varney, Co-Race Director of MNM, has been an integral part in making calls in our penalty protest system and helping orchestrate race time operations both on discord and within the race session itself. Travis is another long time Karting Driver with notable performances at the Challenge of the Americas and the IAME Grand Nationals, currently representing the MPG banner in his last appearance in the SKUSA Supernationals. He also is eyeing an opportunity to jump in the seat and participate in MNM himself this season, where he will proceed to lap the field twice on a Logitech.

Brian stumbled across the series scrolling through no password hosted sessions almost 6 months ago during MNM S1’s 4th race, taking place at Spa. Ever since that chaos filled race, Brian has been apart of almost any race that goes on in MNM’s home discord of KornBred Esports. He has also captured all of the most memorable moments from each race, compiling galleries of photos for the race recap of each round well into the late night. Walking among Big B is walking among a legend. Be grateful you breathe the same air as the greatest to ever do it.
