AKA media 19 March 2013
 

The Monarto Karting Complex in South Australia will come alive to the sound of high-revving engines next week when the best young kart racers from around the country converge on the venue for the 51st running of the Australian National Sprint Kart Championships.

More than 220 competitors will be vying for the right to become the National Champion in their respective category with nine titles up for grabs that cater for a variety of ages, weights and engine capacities.

The youngest competitors in action will line up in the Junior National Light category, which was won in 2012 by Adelaide teenager Luke Marquis.  After recently claiming the Victorian Championship, Echuca’s Reece Sidebottom will be one of the favourites in the highly competitive category that will feature no less than 32 drivers on the grid.  These youngsters, aged between 11 and 15, will have travelled from all parts of Australia including Perth in Western Australia, the Top End and also Queensland.

It is anticipated that approximately 1,000 people will be travelling to the Murray Bridge region for the three-day event, which is preluded by two days of practice next Wednesday and Thursday.

“The Nationals is the ‘jewel in the crown’ when it comes to Australian karting, it is the most prestigious stand alone event on our calendar and the green plates awarded to the winners are the highest honour in Australian karting,” said Australian Karting Association’s National Events Co-ordinator Pam Arnett.

“The Go-Kart Club of South Australia has done a fantastic job in preparing the venue to host such a prestigious event and everyone in the karting community is excited about arriving in Monarto next week.”
