May 2010 Club Champs

Contested by Cadets, JR, Junior, Yamaha Heavy, Rotax Heavy and Open.
An overcast day, but the rain held off until the last two Grand Prix.

The day was notable for some very close racing in Cadets, between Jordy Lum and Zac Thompson in the lead and Logan Keats, Josh Donhue and Rianna OMeara-Hunt in the second bunch. Some very close racing also in Juniors where, in the GP, while Harry Wheelans and Marshall Krivan locked in first and second the remaining competitors swapped places continuously throughout the race.

In the Senior Grand Prix Daniel Picard turned in a nice demonstration of kart control in a twin in the wet, only just managing to stay in front of Nick Rodgers in a Rotax Max. Daniel also gets the spinners prize for the day, with three spins, one just after the start which the field managed to avoid and a recovery from two of them at exactly 360 degrees.

Junior Restricted was won convincingly by Kurt James with Campbell Caird as runner up. An achievement award for Brittany Lum for turning in a very creditable second in their wet GP (on slicks).

Yamaha Heavy was hotly contested between Charlton Hawes, Andrew Donohue and Hayden Sarcich, with Andrew turning in a consistent string of second places.

Rotax Max Heavy was always going to be a Nick Rodgers benefit, but Karl Cameron was always close behind with Iain Atkinson and Aaron Stagg close behind.

Open was a driving demonstration by Karl Wilson, with Danny running next and Dean Williams, temporarily out of retirement, turning in a very creditable performance in third.

Christmas 2009 Club Day

With weather trending from the cloudy and damp to the fine and sunny this was a very successful day.
Thanks for this go largely to Andrew Donohue and Wayne Keats for running the event on the day, and to Vicki Davy for organising and running the kitchen which turned out a superb meal at the end of the day.
With works towards the CIK Trophy hampering movement around the club rooms virtually everyone congregated in the lower area, leaving the upper area free for spectators. The total of 36 karts provided a good field for the first two heats of Cadets, Juniors and Seniors, with enough JR's to make it competitive.
A Le Mans style start for Juniors and Seniors added some dash to the event and showed some variance in the fitness levels of the Seniors. The bike race and lolly scramble proved to be popular with the kids.

    

Our second big event on August 16 saw a good number of Cadets contested the 15 minute Enduro with some healthy competition among the top runners. Other classes were disappointing in numbers although the intermittent drizzle didn't help.

Held over the weekend of 1-2 Aug 2009 and in spite of a low turnout which saw only four classes running the event it was enjoyed by most of those who took part. Patchy weather on Saturday meant that most users had a fairly heavy amount of wear on their wet weather tyres by Sunday, and while Sunday morning was fine it was back to wets for the extended final. Any decision to save wearing the wets out on the day before paid handsome dividends.

Our thanks to our class and associated sponsors for the event:
