They will be racing in the Cadet 12 class in brand new Tony Karts with Mini ROK engines supplied and run by the Tony Kart Australia team as part of a prize pack put together by New Zealand Tony Kart and ROK importer Supreme Kart Supplies & Engines and Manawatu Toyota.
Joining them on the grid in the Cadet 12 class at the meeting will be fellow Kiwi karter Kaden Probst from Auckland who will be run by the Shamick Racing squad. Probst has been racing karts for the past two years and recently won the Cadet ROK class in the annual CRC Speedshow Top Half Series.
